Christopher Horner and Australian Army Brigadier Christopher Gardiner highlight the importance of strengthening Allied and Partner integration in operational planning efforts for the U.S. Space Forces—Space’s (S4S) Protect and Defend Mission. NSDC, with support from DEL 15, is one of two subordinate command and control commands executing operations under the S4S commander’s Combined Joint Force Space Component Commander authorities. The S4S mission is to plan, integrate, conduct, and assess global space operations to deliver combat relevant space effects, in, from, and to space for combatant commanders, coalition partners, the joint force, and the nation.
