According to a new Air Force release, Gen. Michael Moseley, Air Force Chief of Staff, has formally approved the latest revision to Air Force Doctrine Document 2-2, which covers Space Operations. The document, which is dated Nov. 27, 2006, is the first update to space ops doctrine since November 2001. In its foreword, Moseley writes, “This space operations doctrine describes our shared belief about the integration of space power across the range of military operations.”
Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, nominee to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Defense Department needs to upgrade its electronic warfare capability and its EW training ranges; just as his predecessor said at his own confirmation hearing.
