Space Force Association: SWT with Brig. Gen. Todd Moore
Space Force Association: Space Warfighter Talk featuring Brig. Gen. Todd Moore, Deputy Commander, STARCOM on 3/21/24.
- Brig Gen Todd Moore mentioned the Space Force is working on doctrine and processes to ensure that new components can execute orders effectively and learn from each iteration, with a focus on combat realism and executable orders.
- A major focus was on strategic defense and deterrence in space, underscoring the necessity for realistic training to prepare for potential space conflicts.
- The need for authentic and integrated simulation tools from the industry to train Space Force personnel. Instead of simple simulations, there’s a demand for real operational systems, including ground and software components, that reflect true performance capabilities.
Quotes:
On Orbital Warfare and Training Realism:
Really, orbital warfare is really about protecting and defending and having that kind of posture to ensure that we are able to deter our adversaries and if necessary, being able to defeat them, and defeat those kinds of orbital threats.
On Preparedness and Training:
The core of our readiness lies in the rigorous preparation to meet combat commands and protect our assets on orbit, embodying the essence of competitive endurance.
On Realistic Simulation for Enhanced Training:
We’re seeking simulations that closely mirror the operational performance of our systems… This accuracy is crucial for effective training and integration.
On Evolution of Space Force Exercises:
Our exercises have evolved beyond basic skills to complex scenarios that simulate real-world challenges, emphasizing the need for dynamic, realistic training environments.
On Space Superiority and Combat Readiness:
The bottom line is we are here to contest and when directed control physical domain…building that combat discipline and combat credibility is the absolute number one most important thing we need to do.
