Gen James at #SMD2021 panel: As SPACECOM's mandate begins over 100 km in the atmosphere, "my team is in charge of perhaps the largest AOR in the universe"
Gen Brady: "we've been focused a lot of fixed and semifixed assets" but Army intent on pivoting to protect the maneuver force. Says European allies very interested in this capability.
Brady: Army AAMDC is focused more on interoperability; excited for IBCS, but in interim, Mission Partner Environment developed recently aids in passing info to allies, esp. legacy tactical datalinks.
Brady: In exercises in Romania, 10th AAMDC did live fire incorporating Patriot, Romanian HAWK, SA-6, SA-8, and Avenger systems. NATO will hold large exercise in June 2022, fully resourced by NATO for any member state to participate in.
Gen Holler: Asia-Pacific Patriots modernizing with MSE, PDP-8; "we don't have an overarching alliance like you'd find with NATO, the GCC" for structuring joint exercises.
Army operators positive on Mid-Range Capability: "the thought is, it's going to be joint, it's going to be layered, and the mobility is going to be a good part of that as well."
