Abstract
As the character of war changes and the domains in which the Nation fights expand, the requirement for U.S. forces to successfully deter and defeat peer and near-peer level enemies will persist. The CPG and Force Design 2030 have provided a framework for the retooling of the Marine Corps with a renewed emphasis on expeditionary operations, but the reality of distributed operations is one of space reliance. To meet the needs of the future fight, the organization must address current shortfalls in equipment, organization, and training related to the space domain. As the Marine Corps continues to refine its position within the joint force, it must expand beyond its historic consumption-only approach to space and be prepared to fight and win in a D3SOE environment in order to enable naval and joint force operations.
