ARMY SEEKS TO CREATE NEW SPACE MOS, BRANCH

To boost expertise in space operations, the Army is working to establish a new space MOS and branch, said Lt. Gen. Sean Gainey, commander of Army Space and Missile Defense Command. Work also is underway to push critical space capabilities down to the tactical level.

In remarks July 23 at a Coffee Series breakfast hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army, Gainey acknowledged that the demand for troops who are experts in the space domain exceeds the capacity, and the tasks are being filled by soldiers in air and missile defense MOSs, increasing their operational tempo.

“The way we operate right now is we pull soldiers from air defense, signal corps and [military intelligence], and we build crews based off of several different MOSs,” Gainey said. He explained that, in what becomes almost a three-year cycle, soldiers get certified in space operations but may only get to perform one mission before they go back to their own basic branch. As a result, no one is an expert in the craft.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Could a space version of the EM-50 Ur­ban As­sault Ve­hi­cle be in the works?

Isn't that the Space Force's job?

Why does the Army care about Outer Space?
