Yeah , 46 00:02:06,740 --> 00:02:10,660 well good afternoon , let's try 47 00:02:10,660 --> 00:02:13,660 that again . Good afternoon . Yeah . 48 00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:16,820 Hey it is wonderful to be here with you 49 00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:18,730 today . And uh I got to say I 50 00:02:18,730 --> 00:02:21,600 understand that I'm the Second Army 51 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,711 four star in a row to speak . Is that 52 00:02:23,711 --> 00:02:24,711 right ? 53 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,900 So hold on . Don't give me 54 00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,067 credit yet . Haven't gotten through my 55 00:02:32,067 --> 00:02:34,510 remarks yet . But no , that's great to 56 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,670 be able to follow a great General 57 00:02:36,670 --> 00:02:38,670 Milley yesterday . I've worked with 58 00:02:38,670 --> 00:02:40,781 Mark for many years and it's great to 59 00:02:40,781 --> 00:02:43,003 have him as a chairman . I think we may 60 00:02:43,003 --> 00:02:45,114 all agree it's a blessing to have him 61 00:02:45,114 --> 00:02:47,281 as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 62 00:02:47,281 --> 00:02:49,170 Staff of our Great Nation . But I 63 00:02:49,170 --> 00:02:51,392 understand he started off with a phrase 64 00:02:51,392 --> 00:02:51,250 yesterday . I think I might go counter 65 00:02:51,250 --> 00:02:54,340 to that when I say go army . Yeah , 66 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,240 Okay . All right . Now , now I know 67 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,440 everybody's awake . All right . So hey , 68 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,590 it's an honor to be introduced by the 69 00:03:02,590 --> 00:03:04,646 former Master Chief Petty Officer of 70 00:03:04,646 --> 00:03:06,900 the Navy mike stevens . Uh , thank you 71 00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:10,400 very much . Mick Pond is what I'm told . 72 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,400 I'm supposed to say I come from the 73 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,956 army . So I think that's an 74 00:03:13,956 --> 00:03:16,178 affectionate name of the Sergeant Major 75 00:03:16,178 --> 00:03:18,400 of the army . So thanks mike for that . 76 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,622 Very nice introduction . Thanks also to 77 00:03:20,622 --> 00:03:22,844 the president of the Navy League . Dave 78 00:03:22,844 --> 00:03:25,011 Riley Search . Nice . Let me see him . 79 00:03:25,011 --> 00:03:27,122 Where was I was over here , I think . 80 00:03:27,122 --> 00:03:29,344 Nice to chat with you for a few minutes 81 00:03:29,344 --> 00:03:31,511 today and for hosting me . And where's 82 00:03:31,511 --> 00:03:33,511 Julius Simpson ? She was behind the 83 00:03:33,511 --> 00:03:33,340 scenes back here , making sure I didn't 84 00:03:33,340 --> 00:03:35,451 trip on the stairs coming up . And so 85 00:03:35,451 --> 00:03:37,451 thanks for the invitation to attend 86 00:03:37,451 --> 00:03:40,480 this terrific conference . So the 87 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,140 Navy's Premier Maritime Exposition is 88 00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:45,810 especially important to me . And as was 89 00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:47,866 mentioned , this command is just two 90 00:03:47,866 --> 00:03:50,930 years old this month . So at the end of 91 00:03:50,930 --> 00:03:52,910 this month I'll be at the space 92 00:03:52,910 --> 00:03:55,077 symposium in colorado Springs and that 93 00:03:55,077 --> 00:03:57,299 will be the second birthday if you will 94 00:03:57,299 --> 00:03:59,466 have the United States Space Command . 95 00:03:59,466 --> 00:04:01,521 But this audience today perhaps more 96 00:04:01,521 --> 00:04:03,710 than any , understands a message 97 00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:05,877 focused on the challenges of operating 98 00:04:05,877 --> 00:04:08,760 in a vastly and highly complex domain . 99 00:04:09,140 --> 00:04:11,307 You have an intuitive sense of what it 100 00:04:11,307 --> 00:04:13,362 means to protect and defend lines of 101 00:04:13,362 --> 00:04:15,650 communication critical to our economic 102 00:04:15,660 --> 00:04:17,920 and military power . And that's why 103 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,200 over the next few minutes I'll offer a 104 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,780 message designed specifically for our 105 00:04:22,780 --> 00:04:25,290 nation's outstanding sailors and those 106 00:04:25,290 --> 00:04:27,920 who support them . United States . 107 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,670 Space Command has a particularly 108 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,630 intriguing task . So just like the Navy 109 00:04:33,630 --> 00:04:35,074 protects our sea lines of 110 00:04:35,074 --> 00:04:37,410 communications , US Space Command's 111 00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:39,930 mission is to protect our space lines 112 00:04:39,930 --> 00:04:42,070 of communications . Despite 113 00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:44,126 considerable differences in maritime 114 00:04:44,126 --> 00:04:46,380 and space operating environments , the 115 00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:48,660 strategic level objectives of naval 116 00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:51,360 forces and space forces are more 117 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,820 similar than they are different . There 118 00:04:53,820 --> 00:04:55,820 is a lot that we can learn from one 119 00:04:55,820 --> 00:04:57,987 another . That's why I've been looking 120 00:04:57,987 --> 00:05:00,042 forward to speaking here at the Navy 121 00:05:00,042 --> 00:05:02,153 Leagues , Sea air and Space symposium 122 00:05:02,153 --> 00:05:05,050 today . So the main message to you is 123 00:05:05,050 --> 00:05:08,200 this there is natural synergy between 124 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,560 naval and space . War fighting forces 125 00:05:11,140 --> 00:05:13,500 and if we take advantage of it if we 126 00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,050 collaborate will each be more effective 127 00:05:16,060 --> 00:05:18,171 in our respective missions to achieve 128 00:05:18,171 --> 00:05:20,660 globally integrated deterrence and 129 00:05:20,660 --> 00:05:23,250 combat effectiveness if required . 130 00:05:24,540 --> 00:05:26,373 It might seem that are operating 131 00:05:26,373 --> 00:05:28,484 environments are vastly different and 132 00:05:28,484 --> 00:05:30,651 they are at least physically . But the 133 00:05:30,651 --> 00:05:32,651 challenges they present are similar 134 00:05:32,651 --> 00:05:34,651 enough to drive mutually beneficial 135 00:05:34,651 --> 00:05:37,240 solutions . They are similar enough 136 00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:39,472 that your solutions might apply well to 137 00:05:39,472 --> 00:05:43,000 our challenges and vice versa . I think 138 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,222 the opportunity for further integration 139 00:05:45,222 --> 00:05:47,167 between the Navy and U . S . Space 140 00:05:47,167 --> 00:05:49,278 Command is quite frankly boundless or 141 00:05:49,278 --> 00:05:51,460 infinite . So here's why I think that 142 00:05:51,940 --> 00:05:53,940 it really starts with that lines of 143 00:05:53,940 --> 00:05:55,940 communication concept I mentioned a 144 00:05:55,940 --> 00:05:58,510 minute ago of course that classic 145 00:05:58,510 --> 00:06:00,760 military doctrine term can be a bit 146 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,530 confusing to some and the historical 147 00:06:03,530 --> 00:06:05,900 context . A line of communication was 148 00:06:05,910 --> 00:06:08,230 literally that a pathway for 149 00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:10,397 communicating between the forward line 150 00:06:10,397 --> 00:06:12,620 of troops or the flat and a units 151 00:06:12,620 --> 00:06:15,270 commanders and headquarters before 152 00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:17,960 telegraph and radio capabilities were 153 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,270 applied in warfare . These pathways 154 00:06:20,270 --> 00:06:23,020 were quite literally the only lines of 155 00:06:23,020 --> 00:06:26,040 communication messages from commanders 156 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,207 to troops went by runner or dispatched 157 00:06:28,207 --> 00:06:31,150 riders over those pathways . Not 158 00:06:31,150 --> 00:06:33,520 coincidentally , the same pathways 159 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,940 happen to be the perfect conduit for 160 00:06:35,940 --> 00:06:38,500 supplies and reinforcements . Thus , 161 00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:40,830 over time , the lines took on more of a 162 00:06:40,830 --> 00:06:44,180 strategic importance at sea . The best 163 00:06:44,180 --> 00:06:47,010 pathways for communications and transit 164 00:06:47,020 --> 00:06:49,530 of supplies and reinforcements became 165 00:06:49,530 --> 00:06:53,140 well known and fixed explorers and 166 00:06:53,140 --> 00:06:55,362 civil merchants followed them as well . 167 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,070 See mines of communication became 168 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,770 became as economically important as 169 00:07:00,770 --> 00:07:04,010 they were militarily critical . That's 170 00:07:04,010 --> 00:07:06,230 why the similarities with the space 171 00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:09,110 domain are so striking even as the 172 00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:11,277 operating environments are different , 173 00:07:11,277 --> 00:07:13,499 the strategic implications of sea lines 174 00:07:13,499 --> 00:07:15,499 of communication and space lines of 175 00:07:15,499 --> 00:07:17,950 communication are equally significant . 176 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,910 Both are central to free and open 177 00:07:20,910 --> 00:07:24,150 opportunity to traverse and enjoy the 178 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:26,760 benefits of their respective domains . 179 00:07:27,340 --> 00:07:29,940 Today we're pretty good at operating in 180 00:07:29,940 --> 00:07:32,750 vast areas of the universe or space . 181 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,630 However , our ability to operate freely 182 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,430 in it is being challenged and 183 00:07:38,430 --> 00:07:40,486 significantly challenged every day . 184 00:07:40,940 --> 00:07:43,107 That's not unlike the circumstances of 185 00:07:43,107 --> 00:07:45,190 the Navy faces two and the world's 186 00:07:45,190 --> 00:07:48,130 contested waters . The similarities and 187 00:07:48,130 --> 00:07:50,352 the resulting challenges are striking . 188 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,630 The world's oceans are enormous , but 189 00:07:53,630 --> 00:07:56,330 I'll say space is even bigger beyond 190 00:07:56,330 --> 00:07:59,430 line of sight operations in hor simply 191 00:07:59,430 --> 00:08:01,690 the norm today . It's just shy of 192 00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,590 10,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean . 193 00:08:04,590 --> 00:08:06,860 For example , it is about 194 00:08:07,940 --> 00:08:11,830 238,000 Miles to the Moon . So 195 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,729 the Navy secures the sea lines of 196 00:08:13,729 --> 00:08:16,030 communication across the pacific and a 197 00:08:16,030 --> 00:08:18,400 big part of my responsibility is to 198 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,622 secure the space line of communications 199 00:08:20,622 --> 00:08:23,520 between us and the moon , or what we 200 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,950 call the cis lunar region . And my 201 00:08:25,950 --> 00:08:28,050 responsibility also continues to the 202 00:08:28,050 --> 00:08:30,360 far side of the moon , well beyond line 203 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,330 of sight and it continues to mars and 204 00:08:33,330 --> 00:08:37,290 even further . So my are my area 205 00:08:37,290 --> 00:08:39,290 of responsibility includes Lagrange 206 00:08:39,290 --> 00:08:41,990 Points strategically vital way stations 207 00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:44,350 of sorts where gravitational forces of 208 00:08:44,350 --> 00:08:46,480 the earth and the moon balance each 209 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,600 other out . These gravity wells are 210 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,140 ideal for positioning spacecraft where 211 00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:54,460 they can remain indefinitely with only 212 00:08:54,460 --> 00:08:57,890 using a small amount of fuel . A 213 00:08:57,890 --> 00:09:00,370 maritime analog to Lagrange points 214 00:09:00,370 --> 00:09:02,440 would be the strategic importance of 215 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,580 several very small islands . In the 216 00:09:04,580 --> 00:09:07,410 pacific long haul satellite 217 00:09:07,410 --> 00:09:09,320 communications and theater is our 218 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,320 capabilities are common concerns as 219 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,800 well . In general , there are just too 220 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,530 many similarities in maritime and space 221 00:09:16,540 --> 00:09:18,596 operating environments . To ignore , 222 00:09:18,596 --> 00:09:21,910 ignore the mutual benefits of our 223 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,220 growing synergy . That synergy is my 224 00:09:25,220 --> 00:09:28,710 ongoing objective of the five key tasks 225 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,720 outlined in my strategic vision for 226 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,498 United States . Space Command . 227 00:09:32,498 --> 00:09:34,840 Maintaining key relationships carries a 228 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,370 special emphasis . One of its three sub 229 00:09:38,370 --> 00:09:41,360 tasks is to enhance interoperability . 230 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,550 It is imperative that we apply that key 231 00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:46,760 task and it's subtask to the 232 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,900 collaboration between Navy and Space 233 00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:51,650 forces and a collaboration between 234 00:09:51,650 --> 00:09:54,480 naval and space forces is imperative 235 00:09:54,490 --> 00:09:56,970 for effective deterrents and mission 236 00:09:56,970 --> 00:10:00,000 execution . That realization more than 237 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,167 anything , is what I'd like for you to 238 00:10:02,167 --> 00:10:05,990 take away from my remarks today . So it 239 00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:08,910 requires a deliberate strategy . So 240 00:10:08,910 --> 00:10:11,077 maybe the best way to lay it out is by 241 00:10:11,077 --> 00:10:13,077 using the classic military strategy 242 00:10:13,077 --> 00:10:15,077 approach outlined in good old joint 243 00:10:15,077 --> 00:10:18,720 doctrine note to 19 and that approach 244 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,260 calls for defining ends ways and means 245 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,750 ends . Of course , outline your 246 00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:27,280 objective ways , identify how to get 247 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,240 there and means articulate the 248 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,270 resources necessary for the effort . So 249 00:10:32,270 --> 00:10:34,430 let's start with the ends as any 250 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,662 navigator will tell you and many of you 251 00:10:36,662 --> 00:10:38,884 are in this audience , you have to know 252 00:10:38,884 --> 00:10:40,773 where you're going before you can 253 00:10:40,773 --> 00:10:42,940 figure out how best to get there . And 254 00:10:42,940 --> 00:10:44,829 I can tell you that U . S . Space 255 00:10:44,829 --> 00:10:46,940 command , we know where we're going . 256 00:10:46,940 --> 00:10:49,051 Our in state is well defined . We are 257 00:10:49,051 --> 00:10:51,360 fielding a team of war fighters who can 258 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,082 out think and out maneuver our 259 00:10:53,082 --> 00:10:55,250 competitors in order to dominate 260 00:10:55,250 --> 00:10:58,240 through space combat power . As we say 261 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,200 frequently since we don't have the 262 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,510 typical military advantage of assessing 263 00:11:02,510 --> 00:11:05,570 what worked well in the last war as we 264 00:11:05,570 --> 00:11:08,080 plan for the next U . S . Space Command 265 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,500 is preparing for the war . Not yet 266 00:11:10,510 --> 00:11:13,980 thought . Okay and of course we need 267 00:11:13,980 --> 00:11:16,380 our Navy shipmates Along with this , we 268 00:11:16,380 --> 00:11:17,936 already have a sizable navy 269 00:11:17,936 --> 00:11:20,269 representation in U . S . Space Command . 270 00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:23,170 We have nearly 100 sailors in uniform 271 00:11:23,180 --> 00:11:25,291 between our functional components and 272 00:11:25,291 --> 00:11:27,420 our headquarters . And I count myself 273 00:11:27,420 --> 00:11:29,890 very fortunate that I have submariners . 274 00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:33,460 I have surface warfare experts . I have 275 00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:36,910 exquisite pilots , both fixed wing and 276 00:11:36,910 --> 00:11:39,630 rotary wing . I have great logisticians . 277 00:11:39,630 --> 00:11:42,370 Personnel is communications and 278 00:11:42,370 --> 00:11:44,592 information technology experts from the 279 00:11:44,592 --> 00:11:46,648 Navy that are working each and every 280 00:11:46,648 --> 00:11:49,020 day within the United States Space 281 00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:52,260 Command . And as I say , the joint team 282 00:11:52,260 --> 00:11:54,560 within the headquarters is really our 283 00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:57,760 secret sauce is allowing us to build 284 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,290 combat power each and every day . So 285 00:12:01,290 --> 00:12:03,179 that end state collaboration . We 286 00:12:03,179 --> 00:12:05,123 should strive for full integration 287 00:12:05,123 --> 00:12:07,346 between us and the Navy and concepts of 288 00:12:07,346 --> 00:12:09,950 operation and systems development and 289 00:12:09,950 --> 00:12:12,117 refinement of tactics , techniques and 290 00:12:12,117 --> 00:12:14,020 procedures and requirements , 291 00:12:14,020 --> 00:12:16,540 definition in war gaming and in war 292 00:12:16,540 --> 00:12:18,960 planning . You name it anything 293 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,990 basically having to do with how we 294 00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:23,340 collectively prepare for the joint 295 00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:25,572 operations and how we take those forces 296 00:12:25,572 --> 00:12:28,890 into the fight . If required , We need 297 00:12:28,890 --> 00:12:31,001 to find the right balance between our 298 00:12:31,001 --> 00:12:32,890 mutually supported and supporting 299 00:12:32,890 --> 00:12:35,380 functions . I'm often asked what the 300 00:12:35,380 --> 00:12:37,547 differences between the first US space 301 00:12:37,547 --> 00:12:40,010 command and if you recall that was that 302 00:12:40,010 --> 00:12:43,980 existed from 1985 to 2002 and the 303 00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:46,036 current one that I just mentioned is 304 00:12:46,036 --> 00:12:48,202 almost two years old . So other than a 305 00:12:48,202 --> 00:12:50,536 very different geopolitical environment , 306 00:12:50,536 --> 00:12:52,480 a far more pronounced threat . The 307 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,690 fundamental differences has to do with 308 00:12:54,690 --> 00:12:57,000 the addition of supported warfighting 309 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,700 functions and tasks . So yes U . S . 310 00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:03,380 Space Command retains those enduring no 311 00:13:03,380 --> 00:13:06,080 failed tasks in support of war fighters 312 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,000 and other domains . These include 313 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,278 satellite communications , positioning , 314 00:13:10,278 --> 00:13:12,560 navigation and timing , missile warning 315 00:13:12,570 --> 00:13:14,830 warning and several others and we'll 316 00:13:14,830 --> 00:13:16,941 continue to provide them as we always 317 00:13:16,941 --> 00:13:19,108 have . But with the acknowledgement of 318 00:13:19,108 --> 00:13:21,274 space as a war fighting domain and the 319 00:13:21,274 --> 00:13:23,490 definition of a distinct and explicit 320 00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:26,030 area of responsibility . U . S . Space 321 00:13:26,030 --> 00:13:29,080 Command has both a supported as well as 322 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,730 a supporting warfighting function . So 323 00:13:32,730 --> 00:13:34,980 that has really required a shift in our 324 00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:37,530 focus more towards the strategic and 325 00:13:37,530 --> 00:13:39,790 operational levels of war . It doesn't 326 00:13:39,790 --> 00:13:42,012 mean that we are no longer engaged with 327 00:13:42,012 --> 00:13:43,901 tactical level support to the war 328 00:13:43,901 --> 00:13:45,901 fighters . We absolutely are but it 329 00:13:45,901 --> 00:13:48,068 does mean U . S . Space Command has to 330 00:13:48,068 --> 00:13:50,012 focus not only the on the tactical 331 00:13:50,012 --> 00:13:52,123 level of operations as the supporting 332 00:13:52,123 --> 00:13:54,230 combatant command but we must also 333 00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:57,000 focus on new protect and defend tasks 334 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,510 are on orbit assets . And in many cases 335 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,918 in this protect and defend mission . U . 336 00:14:02,918 --> 00:14:04,640 S . Space Command is in fact a 337 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,270 supported combatant commander . So 338 00:14:07,270 --> 00:14:09,437 there is no doubt the ways in which we 339 00:14:09,437 --> 00:14:11,659 are going to accomplish this is through 340 00:14:11,659 --> 00:14:13,770 a team . As I mentioned earlier , our 341 00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:15,881 joint war fighters such as yourselves 342 00:14:15,881 --> 00:14:18,048 in this room and listening to leverage 343 00:14:18,048 --> 00:14:20,103 existing operational capabilities or 344 00:14:20,103 --> 00:14:22,500 data , adapt , operations , planning 345 00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:24,333 and maybe even help find avenues 346 00:14:24,333 --> 00:14:26,650 through which to acquire capability in 347 00:14:26,650 --> 00:14:29,440 mutually beneficial ways . We are 348 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,800 already witnessing this type of success 349 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,130 through joint exercises in our day to 350 00:14:34,130 --> 00:14:36,890 day operations . Additionally , US 351 00:14:36,890 --> 00:14:38,920 space . Com's integrated planning 352 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,570 elements are embedded with my fellow 10 353 00:14:41,570 --> 00:14:43,640 combatant commanders and will play a 354 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,960 key role on this as we move forward and 355 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,560 into the future enhancing cooperation 356 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,560 and collaboration between space and 357 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,790 naval combat forces and all other 358 00:14:53,790 --> 00:14:56,120 services for that matter is no small 359 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,040 task . The ways will require focus 360 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,790 determination , but we're already on a 361 00:15:01,790 --> 00:15:04,990 great glide path . Most of that is due 362 00:15:04,990 --> 00:15:07,212 to a shared understanding of the common 363 00:15:07,212 --> 00:15:09,379 challenges that we face each and every 364 00:15:09,379 --> 00:15:11,710 day figuring out where we want to be 365 00:15:11,820 --> 00:15:13,820 and how to get there . I think as I 366 00:15:13,820 --> 00:15:15,987 mentioned earlier , maybe a little bit 367 00:15:15,987 --> 00:15:18,098 easier but finding the means to do so 368 00:15:18,098 --> 00:15:20,800 also a lot harder . We can start in 369 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,980 three key areas resources , policy and 370 00:15:23,980 --> 00:15:25,950 people . The first is probably the 371 00:15:25,950 --> 00:15:27,930 hardest and a limited resource 372 00:15:27,930 --> 00:15:30,610 environment with any number of valid , 373 00:15:30,620 --> 00:15:32,620 competing interests . Resources for 374 00:15:32,620 --> 00:15:35,020 such a specific objective might be hard 375 00:15:35,020 --> 00:15:37,240 to come by , but our emissions are to 376 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,740 protect and defend the lifelines of the 377 00:15:39,740 --> 00:15:42,160 american way of life and in that 378 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,170 limited resource environment , the 379 00:15:44,170 --> 00:15:45,837 space community needs to find 380 00:15:45,837 --> 00:15:48,003 efficiencies applicable to the rest of 381 00:15:48,003 --> 00:15:50,059 the joint force and how we provide , 382 00:15:50,059 --> 00:15:52,226 for example , satellite communications 383 00:15:52,226 --> 00:15:54,448 capabilities . And we all must continue 384 00:15:54,448 --> 00:15:56,630 to incorporate space and cyber 385 00:15:56,630 --> 00:15:59,440 capabilities as well as space and 386 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,390 cybersecurity into planning for and 387 00:16:02,390 --> 00:16:04,446 procurement of new weapons systems . 388 00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:06,900 Those are relatively easy issues to 389 00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:09,260 solve . They just require 390 00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:11,371 acknowledgement of their significance 391 00:16:11,371 --> 00:16:14,570 and the will to go after them . They'd 392 00:16:14,570 --> 00:16:16,514 be even easier with some simple to 393 00:16:16,514 --> 00:16:18,830 achieve policy backing . Fortunately on 394 00:16:18,830 --> 00:16:20,886 the space side of the house , we are 395 00:16:20,886 --> 00:16:22,441 developing the same kind of 396 00:16:22,441 --> 00:16:24,580 international traditions and treaties 397 00:16:24,580 --> 00:16:26,802 on responsible operations in the domain 398 00:16:26,802 --> 00:16:29,250 that you have in the maritime domain . 399 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,462 The behavior of some of our adversaries 400 00:16:32,462 --> 00:16:34,690 in space may surprise you . If similar 401 00:16:34,690 --> 00:16:36,523 actions have been taken in other 402 00:16:36,523 --> 00:16:38,700 domains , they'd likely be considered 403 00:16:38,820 --> 00:16:42,170 provocative , aggressive or maybe even 404 00:16:42,170 --> 00:16:44,910 irresponsible . And in response , the U . 405 00:16:44,910 --> 00:16:47,132 S . Government would take corresponding 406 00:16:47,132 --> 00:16:49,188 actions using all levers of national 407 00:16:49,188 --> 00:16:51,540 power at the marsh or sanctioned or 408 00:16:51,540 --> 00:16:53,762 something to indicate we won't tolerate 409 00:16:53,762 --> 00:16:56,310 that type of behavior . Well , we're 410 00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:58,254 not quite there yet . In the space 411 00:16:58,254 --> 00:17:00,254 policy though , we certainly took a 412 00:17:00,254 --> 00:17:02,199 great step forward just recently , 413 00:17:02,199 --> 00:17:04,088 where Secretary of Defense Austin 414 00:17:04,088 --> 00:17:06,199 recently signed a letter stating that 415 00:17:06,199 --> 00:17:07,921 stating what we consider to be 416 00:17:07,921 --> 00:17:10,240 responsible behavior in space and by 417 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,120 impatiens what actions would fall short 418 00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:15,176 of responsible behavior in the space 419 00:17:15,176 --> 00:17:17,870 domain . Now , this certainly is in 420 00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:20,260 fact a whole of government effort , not 421 00:17:20,270 --> 00:17:22,800 just the diode . The State Department 422 00:17:22,810 --> 00:17:25,320 is fully engaged on this issue as well , 423 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,544 especially in response to the last 424 00:17:27,544 --> 00:17:29,760 december's United Nations resolution 425 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,030 calling for norms , rules and 426 00:17:32,030 --> 00:17:34,141 principles of responsible behavior in 427 00:17:34,141 --> 00:17:36,880 space . And my hope is that we are on a 428 00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:39,580 glide path to soon have some an 429 00:17:39,580 --> 00:17:41,524 international agreement that would 430 00:17:41,524 --> 00:17:45,150 support that . In the meantime , just 431 00:17:45,150 --> 00:17:47,317 think about how much we can learn from 432 00:17:47,317 --> 00:17:49,539 our Navy teammates in this regard . How 433 00:17:49,539 --> 00:17:51,372 to assess that behavior , how to 434 00:17:51,372 --> 00:17:53,539 respond when adversaries fall short of 435 00:17:53,539 --> 00:17:55,706 the standards , how from a position of 436 00:17:55,706 --> 00:17:58,450 strength to compel see bearing nations 437 00:17:58,450 --> 00:18:01,320 to operate within those rules . I know 438 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,542 it has taken a long time to get to that 439 00:18:03,542 --> 00:18:05,487 point where those conversations or 440 00:18:05,487 --> 00:18:07,487 conventions are widely accepted and 441 00:18:07,487 --> 00:18:09,598 followed . The world has been working 442 00:18:09,598 --> 00:18:11,653 this issue for literally centuries . 443 00:18:11,653 --> 00:18:14,150 About seven decades elapsed between 444 00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:16,420 talk of absolute freedom of navigation 445 00:18:16,420 --> 00:18:19,070 upon the seas and Woodrow Wilson's 14 446 00:18:19,070 --> 00:18:21,530 points to the early nineties when the U . 447 00:18:21,530 --> 00:18:23,840 S . Accepted most of the provisions of 448 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,360 the UN convention on the law of the sea . 449 00:18:27,740 --> 00:18:30,250 That convention included established in 450 00:18:30,250 --> 00:18:32,850 the territorial sea or it's commonly 451 00:18:32,850 --> 00:18:35,080 known as the 12 mile offset of 452 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,370 sovereign territory belonging to the 453 00:18:37,370 --> 00:18:40,130 state at borders for many , many years . 454 00:18:40,130 --> 00:18:42,352 That offset was three nautical miles or 455 00:18:42,352 --> 00:18:45,030 basically the maximum standoff distance , 456 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,200 a typical cannon shot . Subsequent 457 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,144 adjustments reflected the changing 458 00:18:50,144 --> 00:18:52,560 reality of naval engagements and the 459 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,010 capabilities of weapons systems . So 460 00:18:56,010 --> 00:18:57,880 there is no similarly defined 461 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,770 territorial offsets in the space domain 462 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,462 and maybe with today's technology , the 463 00:19:03,462 --> 00:19:05,462 actual offset distances wouldn't be 464 00:19:05,462 --> 00:19:07,610 that critical anyway . The protection 465 00:19:07,610 --> 00:19:09,666 of our space assets , I think we can 466 00:19:09,666 --> 00:19:13,440 agree in this room is critical . I know 467 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,850 we don't have centuries or even decades 468 00:19:15,850 --> 00:19:18,072 to get to the same level of agreement , 469 00:19:18,340 --> 00:19:20,950 but it might take you out for our part 470 00:19:21,540 --> 00:19:23,651 in the effort that is with respect to 471 00:19:23,651 --> 00:19:25,651 us . Space . Com's military role in 472 00:19:25,651 --> 00:19:27,762 protecting and defending the domain . 473 00:19:27,762 --> 00:19:29,818 We can learn from the example of the 474 00:19:29,818 --> 00:19:31,929 maritime domain . We can leverage the 475 00:19:31,929 --> 00:19:34,540 Navy's experience and expertise , the 476 00:19:34,540 --> 00:19:36,670 cultural integration inherent and 477 00:19:36,670 --> 00:19:38,781 rigorous and successful collaboration 478 00:19:39,140 --> 00:19:41,730 might be harder to enact . Usually it 479 00:19:41,730 --> 00:19:44,900 takes generations . Unfortunately , our 480 00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:47,770 competitors won't afford us that luxury . 481 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,550 If policy is downstream from culture , 482 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,984 let's see if we can't reverse that 483 00:19:52,984 --> 00:19:55,151 trend and give the culture of maritime 484 00:19:55,151 --> 00:19:56,929 and space collaboration greater 485 00:19:56,929 --> 00:19:59,370 emphasis . So that starts with our 486 00:19:59,370 --> 00:20:02,790 people , one of my five key tasks 487 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,560 building the command to compete and win 488 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,600 requires a war fighting and an 489 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,290 operational culture and in a global 490 00:20:10,290 --> 00:20:12,620 conflict which could easily extend 491 00:20:12,690 --> 00:20:14,850 beyond the globe . It requires 492 00:20:14,850 --> 00:20:17,220 understanding , integrating with and 493 00:20:17,220 --> 00:20:19,820 influencing space effects with the 494 00:20:19,820 --> 00:20:23,380 following in mind . Our objective is to 495 00:20:23,380 --> 00:20:26,480 deter conflict in space and our mission 496 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,647 is to protect and defend our interests 497 00:20:28,647 --> 00:20:30,910 in the domain . I think our Navy 498 00:20:30,910 --> 00:20:33,460 shipmates are a key part of that effort . 499 00:20:34,140 --> 00:20:36,084 I think the challenges we shared , 500 00:20:36,084 --> 00:20:38,307 given the similarities in our operating 501 00:20:38,307 --> 00:20:40,790 environments gives us the framework for 502 00:20:40,790 --> 00:20:43,540 continued collaboration just as well be 503 00:20:43,540 --> 00:20:45,550 your teammates and your mission to 504 00:20:45,550 --> 00:20:47,860 protect the sea lines of communication . 505 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,407 We know you'll be shoulder to shoulder 506 00:20:50,407 --> 00:20:52,550 with us and protecting and defending 507 00:20:52,550 --> 00:20:55,970 the space lines of communication . So 508 00:20:55,970 --> 00:20:58,248 ladies and gentlemen there you have it . 509 00:20:58,248 --> 00:21:00,414 Thank you for your attention today . I 510 00:21:00,414 --> 00:21:04,230 hope my objective today was to at least 511 00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:06,130 try to draw some synergy and 512 00:21:06,130 --> 00:21:08,440 similarities between the maritime 513 00:21:08,450 --> 00:21:11,250 undersea Note Main and the Space Domain . 514 00:21:11,250 --> 00:21:13,083 Because I think there's a lot of 515 00:21:13,083 --> 00:21:15,250 synergies there really look forward to 516 00:21:15,250 --> 00:21:17,472 Admiral Gilda and his team . What great 517 00:21:17,472 --> 00:21:19,639 support they have given to the U . S . 518 00:21:19,639 --> 00:21:21,806 Space command . And as I mentioned , I 519 00:21:21,806 --> 00:21:23,972 think there's a lot of synergy between 520 00:21:23,972 --> 00:21:26,083 these two great functions both in the 521 00:21:26,083 --> 00:21:28,250 maritime domain and the Space domain . 522 00:21:28,250 --> 00:21:30,194 So again , thank you for having me 523 00:21:30,194 --> 00:21:32,194 today for a few minutes to share my 524 00:21:32,194 --> 00:21:34,417 thoughts with you and I would be remiss 525 00:21:34,417 --> 00:21:37,670 if I did not close with go Army . Thank 526 00:21:37,670 --> 00:21:39,059 you . Have a great day . 527 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,170 Yeah . Okay . 528 00:21:52,940 --> 00:21:55,107 General Dickinson . Thank you for your 529 00:21:55,107 --> 00:21:57,218 insights and your words today . We're 530 00:21:57,218 --> 00:21:59,162 very grateful to have had you as a 531 00:21:59,162 --> 00:22:01,218 speaker for this luncheon and I hope 532 00:22:01,218 --> 00:22:03,329 everybody has a great rest of the day 533 00:22:03,329 --> 00:22:05,440 and a great rest of the event .
