‘There’s no such thing as a space war, it’s just war.” Chief of Space Operations Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond said during an event hosted by the National Press Club. Stating further that depending on the strategic context that’s going on in the world or how nations might choose to conduct operations in space is just integrated into a larger strategic conflict, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer for the type of actions taken by a satellite would be considered an act of war. The U.S. Space Force is the 6th independent U.S. military service branch, tasked with missions and operations in the rapidly evolving space domain. Since being signed into law and inaugurated, the Space Force is trying to drive that conversation to constrain bad behavior and shape a common understanding of what’s acceptable in orbit.
