This is a document about planning and executing counterspace operations. Counterspace operations are conducted to ensure freedom of access to the advantages gained from space capabilities to join forces in threat, determine the significance of the threat, and identify required defensive capabilities. The document discusses the importance of developing measures and indicators at the same time as the objectives, effects, and tasks they measure—not after the fact. It also covers the importance of assessing the risk, measures and indicators, forces available, time available and time required, C2 systems, and third-party providers. The document also outlines the planning process for counter-space operations and the important considerations for planning. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of a critical review of actions, tasks, and effects to effectively prosecute counter space missions.
