WASHINGTON — The US Space Force is planning its first exercise dedicated to “orbital warfare,” called Red Skies, this summer, according to the head of the service’s Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM).
“How do we deal with an orbital warfare problem set? What are the challenges that faces in intelligence and command and control and operations?,” he said during an online seminar sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
Red Skies one of a series of exercises developed by STARCOM to train Guardians — in particular, those assigned to the Space Operations Command (SpOC), Bratton explained.
