ABSTRACT

In the previous chapter, it was noted that the enemy’s choke-points and high-value positions can be exploited for military gain to force him into battle on terms favorable for oneself. Such exploitation usually attempts to disrupt, degrade, or deny the enemy’s ability to use his celestial lines of communication. Because the inherent value of space is the access and utility it provides, space warfare must embrace a strategy that attempts to deny the enemy’s ability to use celestial lines of communication in any significant or meaningful way. This chapter addresses the methods of accomplishing this strategy.
