In all three sets of circumstances discussed above, innovative operational capabilities emerged. Three additional issues require our attention. First, Unified Commands and the Military Services have distinct but supportive roles and missions. The Unified Commands must identify the operational capabilities and strategies needed to shape and conduct op-erations within these regions. Clearly, the Unified Commands and the Services must coordinate to provide the capabilities and organizations that will make operations successful.
Missions are likely to emerge that are best suited for space.
Finally, this LRP recognizes the ill-defined intersection of space control and information operations, and focuses mainly on space. Future efforts will have to integrate space capabilities into an overall strategy for information operations. The time has come to address, among warfighters and national policy makers, the emergence of space as a center of gravity for DoD and the nation. We must commit enough planning and resources to protect and enhance our access to, and use of, space. Although international treaties and legalities constrain some of the LRP's initiatives and concepts, our abilities in space will keep evolving as we address these legal, political, and international concerns.
