  operation. Some space operations are executed before other aspects of the overall operation. Defined, but
  flexible processes are used to structure space operation planning.
  4-11. The SSE focuses on integration of the wide range of space capabilities across all warfighting
  functions. The SSE educates members of the staff to ensure they are fully aware of space capabilities,
  limitations, and vulnerabilities. They routinely work with members of the coordinating and special staffs.
  4-12. When the number of subordinate echelons exceeds the capacity of the SSE to provide effective
  support, the SSE should request augmentation from an ARSST. At echelons below division, where no space
  operations officers are assigned, brigade and battalion staffs receive support from their higher command’s
  SSE in the form of space running estimates and other planning products. Requests for space support, space-
  related information, or personnel augmentation follow unit standard operating procedures.
  4-13. The SSE senior space operations officer may be designated as the command’s special technical
  operations chief if one is not organically assigned. When directed to fill the special technical operations
  position, the chief will manage the billets for the command, have oversight of special technical operation
  planning, requests, exercises, operations, and inspections. The chief ensures all special technical operations
  informational security requirements are met. The details of these operations are largely classified and specific
  training is required prior to assumption of duties.
  ARMY SPACE SUPPORT TEAMS
  4-14. An ARSST provides space planning expertise, capabilities, products, and SSA of space assets. When
  serving as a part of an ARSST, the space operations officer leads a specialized operations team which
  provides space operations-related support to staff and products in support of the SSE. In the absence of an
  SSE, the ARSST assumes all roles and responsibilities of the SSE in addition to retaining the duties of an
  ARSST. ARSST may augment the staff space operations officer at echelon. The ARSSTs are a low-density,
  high-demand deployable team.
  4-15. An ARSST’s primary function is to deploy and integrate with a unit’s staff to provide direct support.
  The team provides the commander and staff with situational understanding of the space domain. An ARSST
  acts in direct support to Army divisions, corps, joint task force, Marine Expeditionary Forces, theater
  sustainment command, and Army service component command headquarters, and may be deployed to
  support an SSE. The ARSST’s expertise of space capabilities and the ability to produce products significantly
  contribute to current and future operations. An ARSST team may be tailored in a variety of ways to fulfill a
  request for forces.
  ARMY HEADQUARTERS, CORPS AND DIVISION
  CORPS AND DIVISION
  4-16. The corps is the focal point for the planning and execution of space operations. The corps is the
  principal integrator of space capabilities in support of unified land operations. Each corps contains an organic
  SSE, usually assigned to the movement and maneuver cell. The SSE plans, coordinates, integrates, and
  synchronizes space capabilities into operations for corps, division, and subordinate units. For space planning,
  all land component coordination runs up to the corps headquarters. The SSE coordinates directly with other
  space staffs and SCA for support to meet corps requirements.
  4-17. The primary tactical warfighting headquarters is the division. The primary task of the division
  headquarters is to direct the operations of its subordinate brigade combat teams and supporting brigades.
  Each division contains an organic SSE, usually assigned to the movement and maneuver cell in the current
  operations section. The SSE plans, coordinates, and integrates space capabilities into operations for division
  and subordinate units.
  4-18. Division SSEs contain the resources necessary to be an Army forces headquarters during the conduct
  of a crisis response or limited contingency operations without additional Army augmentation.
