Introduction General C. Robert Kehler, USAF Commander, Air Force Space Command The Schriever Wargame series has been an incredible success for Air Force Space Command and the National Security Space community, to include our allied and commercial space partners. The series has evolved from the first game in 2001, and has grown both in sophistication and participation. This year, 550 military and civilian experts from more than 30 government agencies and the countries of Australia, Canada, and Great Britain participated in the wargame. The Title 10 wargame series provides an opportunity to examine issues surrounding space policy and rules of engagement and to explore organizational alternatives. As a result, we have a greater understanding of the issues related to conflicts that involve space and cyberspace and we are developing a cadre of military and civilian members who are fluent in these issues in relation to the needs of combatant commanders. The value of the series is due largely to the high caliber of the participants. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the advisors and participants who made Schriever Wargame 2010 (SW 10) a rewarding and beneficial experience. The team assembled at Nellis AFB, Nevada included our allies, commercial and industry partners, policy experts, and senior statesmen. Their perspectives and insights increased the sophistication of gameplay and exposed key policy questions; many are examined in this issue of the High Frontier Journal. The articles in this edition provide a multi-dimensional view of major lessons learned during the wargame. It is important to note that the Schriever Wargame series is more expansive than the gameplay at Nellis AFB. The initial interaction for SW 10 began in February 2010 with the Senior Leadership Seminar. This gathering of key government, allied, Figure 1. General C. Robert Kehler and General Lance W. Lord, retired, at the Senior Leadership Seminar in Washington, DC for Schriever Wargame 2010. and industry leaders provided a venue to discuss the SW 10 scenario and to illuminate the key space and cyberspace issues that could influence policy and decision-making in a future conflict. For the first time, we aligned the Schriever Wargame with the chief of staff of the Air Force’s Title 10 wargame, Unified Engagement, in order to complement the Air Force-wide wargame effort. The robustness of the wargame has produced valuable insights and has influenced current policy debates and decisionmaking. As many of our authors in this issue note, there may be inherent value in evolving the Joint Space Operations Center to a Combined Space Operations Center. Others note that conflict involving space is not isolated to one domain. And we found the Cold War era deterrence theories may not be well suited for application in the space and cyberspace domains. This issue of the High Frontier Journal is a natural precursor to our next issue which will examine strategic space policy. The release of the National Space Policy in June 2010 provides the president’s direction for the nation’s space activities. As we have found with the Schriever Wargame series, our strategic space policy is vital to freedom of action in and through space. I look forward to the dynamic discussion this topic will generate in the next journal. General C. Robert “Bob” Kehler (BS, Education, Pennsylvania State University; MS, Public Administration, University of Oklahoma; MA, National Security and Strategic Studies, Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island) is commander, Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), Peterson AFB, Colorado. He is responsible for organizing, equipping, training and maintaining mission-ready space and cyberspace capabilities for North American Aerospace Defense Command, US Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), and other combatant commands around the world. General Kehler oversees Air Force network operations; manages a global network of satellite command and control, communications, missile warning and space launch facilities; and is responsible for space system development and acquisition. He leads more than 46,000 professionals, assigned to 88 locations worldwide and deployed to an additional 35 global locations. General Kehler has commanded at the squadron, group and wing levels, and has a broad range of operational and command tours in ICBM operations, space launch, space operations, missile warning, and space control. The general has served on the AFSPC staff, Air Staff, and Joint Staff and served as the director of the National Security Space Office. Prior to assuming his current position, General Kehler was the deputy commander, USSTRATCOM, where he helped provide the president and secretary of defense with a broad range of strategic capabilities and options for the joint warfighter through several diverse mission areas, including space operations, integrated missile defense, computer network operations, and global strike.
