Live: #USSPACECOM Commander GEN James Dickinson @SASCDems @SASCGOP go.usa.gov/xzBpM
"Today we are not only in full support of our joint forces globally & #NATO in Europe, but we remain hard at work building the command to our Full Operational Capability"
"Over the past few weeks, we have witnessed #Russian aggression. Space is not a sanctuary from similar behavior."
"#USSPACECOM is postured to protect and defend the space domain and will ensure continuous space effects are delivered to our joint and combined forces."

Live @ACScowcroft: GEN James Dickinson, #USSPACECOM Cdr: It is important to understand that in the space domain, our pacing challenge remains China. China has developed and fielded #ASAT weapons as a way to erode the superiority of our space systems...
Russia remains a persistent threat to our interests in space. Russia, like China, possesses sophisticated lasing and jamming capabilities, but most concerning is their development and testing of ground-based #ASAT weapons.
What’s unique in this UCP – and unique for the new
#USSPACECOM – is that our directives encompass more than just the traditional space supporting functions. #USSPACECOM has UCP-directed protect & defend responsibilities where we are supported by the other CCMDs & mission partners

Lt Gen John Shaw, #USSPACECOM deputy cmdr, on @ascendspace's "Leveraging Our #Allies in National Security #Space" panel: It shows that all of our nations are continuing to focus more on more on #space & focusing on it together. #BetterTogether
Shaw recognizes work of @18SPCS & American/allied #space professionals at Combined Force Space Component Command & Joint Task Force-Space Defense for their work in relation to this week's Russian #ASAT test. 🛰️ @UKTeamVandenbe1 #VandenbergSFB @psgarrison #SchrieverSFB

#USSPACECOM deputy cmdr, Lt Gen John Shaw at @ascendspace on Russian DA-ASAT test: We are still characterizing this event. We expect the debris will grow over time. #Perigee, #apogee event will widen. "It will become a threat that we will have to deal with." #ASAT #Russia
Shaw: This isnt' the beginning of such activity. #Russia conducted a similar test in April, though it didn't target a #satellite. Russia is showing "disregard of the sustainability of #space."
Shaw likens tracking objects in #space to book version of #JurassicPark: Scientists had automated sensors to track dinosaurs & algorithm to count the expected number of dinos. Problem is, it didn't account for the population of dinos rising. ...

.@USArmy GEN James Dickinson, #USSPACECOM cmdr, at @ussfspoc establishment: Today, we formally establish what amounts to the biggest arrow in a quiver to protect & defend US/allied interests in #space.
In days of 1st #USSPACECOM 30 yrs ago, we often spoke about warfighter support. Today, we are the warfighters. We have a task to perform traditional supporting functions AND supported warfighting mission.
Our dependency on #space capabilities creates vulnerabilities. We have to mitigate those vulnerabilities, through deterrence for sure, but also through our readiness to fight & win in space.
