Publisher's Synopsis
The detailed appendices in this foundational book are meant to broaden the readers' perceptions concerning outer space warfare. They provide finer details and offer possible options for users of space battle management systems with decision-making algorithms. It is the author's hope that these lists of detailed space warfare planning elements will be a foundation for additional discussions by practitioners of the dark art of war in the shadows of deep space. They are based on translating Joint Publication 5-0 "Joint Planning" of how the United States fights terrestrial conflicts to the military space environment. Since the main job of outer space conflicts is to support terrestrial warfighters it is important for space and terrestrial conflict planning to possess similar terminologies and planning structures.
