National Security PerspectivesExercise Results

• LOD Utility
  • Augmentation of existing force structure rated highest

• LOD Responsiveness
  • 7 to 30 day LOD was most useful - beyond 30 days, terrestrial alternatives become more attractive

• Key Findings
  • Value of LOD augmentation is mitigated by substantial “Force in Being” - most of the space force needs to be “on-line” 24/7
  • Utility for militarily unique missions could be substantial, especially when facing more capable adversaries
