Abstract
Abstract : Space power is the true revolution in military affairs. With the United States undisputed as the world leader in space, it is the responsibility of America's military to ensure we retain space superiority. Just as space has matured into an essential venue for military operations, to include communications and intelligence, it is inevitable that space will become a future baffle ground though weaponization, due to increased competition for limited satellite orbits and the ability to place weapons in space to strike terrestrial targets. In light of this, three things must occur for the United States to maintain its position as the world's preeminent space power: the idea of weapons in space should be recognized as inevitable; secondly, space should be recognized as a distinct and legitimate Area of Responsibility in the Unified Command Plan; and lastly, the Defense Department should create a separate Space Corps under the auspices of the Air Force.
