Space Fundamentals for the War Fighter, by William G. Clapp
Space Fundamentals for the War Fighter, by William G. Clapp

Scope and Contents

A paper submitted to the faculty of the Naval War College in partial satisfaction of the requirement of the Department of Operations by William G. Clapp, Ed.D, Major, Utah National Guard that was later updated for publication as a Strategic Research Department occasional paper because of the timeliness of the topic and the belief that it deserved wider circulation.

In this paper, Clapp provided an overview of the space environment and its assets in order to understand their capabilities. Clapp argued that space assets are vital elements that influence both peacetime and wartime missions at all three levels of military activity: strategic, operational, and tactical. This paper provided insights concerning a few of the limitations and capabilities of U.S. space assets and should help the war fighter understand the environment in which the battle for aerospace superiority must be fought and won.
