text: Space Operational Environment
  * Space control—used to protect joint and allied space capabilities while denying space capabilities
  to the adversary, as situations require. The DOD employ a variety of measures to help assure the
  use of the space domain for all responsible parties. Consistent with the inherent right of self-
  defense, deters others from interference and attack, and defends our space systems. NAVWAR
  allows the Army to take deliberate defensive and offensive actions to assure Army and joint forces
  have access to PNT.
  * SATCOM—interruption of SATCOM will have a direct and immediate impact on all military
  operations. Interruption of a signal can cause significant degradation to all mission operations.
  * Satellite operations—access to military satellites is dependent upon transmission control and
  payload control so military operations get a reliable satellite signal, and know the data is verified
  legitimate.
  * Missile warning and defense—provides warning indications, protection for troops, and
  confirmation of events for battle damage assessment. Enables attribution of actions of state
  involvement and specific missile launches which provides additional characteristics of threat
  actors’ capabilities.
  * Environmental monitoring information can provide significant, wide-ranging impacts due to
  actual or possible interruptions to SATCOM, PNT, SSA, missile warning indications, force
  protection, and overall on mission operations.
  * Space-based surveillance and reconnaissance supports information which may have significant
  impact on military, commercial, and civil space sectors.
  Economic
  2-25. Encompasses individual and group behaviors related to producing, distributing, and consuming
  resources. Does the village have a high unemployment rate that makes it easy for the enemy to coerce
  villagers to perform tasks for pay or other benefits? Space operations should consider financial means
  available to purchase space capabilities from a third party that may provide asymmetric advantages. Space
  capabilities may be helpful by increasing interaction with locals or harmful as may be the case with AD
  capabilities.
  * SSA—understanding adversary intent and the stability of the host nation’s economic community
  contributes to the joint force commander’s situational understanding of natural resources and
  likelihood host nation citizens support friendly actions. Strong economies foster strong citizenship
  and help deter insurgent actors.
  * PNT—the global economy has numerous dependencies on reliable GPS signals. Interruption of
  GPS or other GNSS signals may have an impact on economic stability. Timing signals are used
  by many nations’ commercial sectors—for banking, stock markets, power grids, news media and
  telecommunications capabilities including cellular networks, computer networks and cloud
  computing, agricultural sectors for large-scale farming, construction sectors for precise survey,
  and transportation sectors for navigation and accurate delivery forecasts.
  * SATCOM—interruptions of SATCOM may have an impact on political stability, economic
  stability,
  Interruptions to SATCOM may have economic impacts on commercial sector from lack of
  o
  economic news and transfer of monetary funds.
  Internet availability for computer networks for military (NIPRNET and SIPRNET), business,
  o
  and commercial or social use.
  * Missile warning and defense—provides warning indications and protection opportunities. A
  missile impact could cause large scale destruction of critical infrastructure which could cripple
  portions or an entire economic structure.
  Social
  2-26. Describes the cultural, religious, and ethnic makeup within an OE and the beliefs, values, customs,
  and behaviors of society members. Consider who the influential people are in the village—for example, are
  they religious leaders, tribal leaders, warlords, criminal bosses, prominent families, or even teenagers with
