The U.S. Space Force just completed a major training exercise that involved participants in a mock battle.
Space Flag 22-3 was held at the Space Force Base in Colorado. According to a Space Force statement, close to 120 Space Force personnel from multiple U.S. Space Force Deltas participated in the training. The training was done by the Space Training and Readiness Command.
In a "contested, degraded and operationally-limited environment" Space Flag 22-3 provided realistic training opportunities that challenged players to consider complex Astrodynamics while maneuvering and operating during simulations.
The US Space Force created a new unit to keep an eye on threats in space.
The commander of the 1st Space brigade said that he enjoyed watching the mission plan and prosecuting threats to space capabilities.
A variety of simulations, both live and virtual, were used to fine combat tactics in space domain awareness, intelligence, warning and surveillance, navigation warfare, orbital warfare and satellite communications.
The Department of Defense's first space exercise received accreditation as a joint national training capability. According to the United States Joint Force Command, this designation applies to activities that offer servicemembers from across multiple branches of the armed forces a realistic combat training environment with an adaptive and credible opposing force.
The Space Force's 5th Electromagnetic warfare squadron participated in the exercise for the first time. According to a Space Force fact sheet, the unit is tasked with protecting and defending the U.S. Space Command.
The Pentagon and the Space Force are worried about the types of threats that are being practiced. Laser "dazzlers" that can blind spy satellites are one of the new space-based weapons that have been tested.
Anti-satellite missiles, high-power microwave weapons, and chemical sprayers are just some of the destructive technologies that can be used.
Inspector satellites can maneuver in close proximity to and talk to other satellites. The Pentagon considers the use of these satellites to be irresponsible.
The Vice Chief of Space Operations said that U.S. satellites are under attack every single day from non-destructive effects.
The Space Force will continue to train to counter these types of threats as they continue to grow.
