  the requirements of a single broadcast using a single common message format for integrated
  broadcast service. The common interactive broadcast is a theater-based ultrahigh frequency
  SATCOM broadcast used to connect the producer community with deployed Soldiers. The
  primary focus of the common interactive broadcast is to facilitate the reporting and dissemination
  of threat warning and situation awareness data to combat forces in near real time.
  1-44. Expeditionary Army space operations. Used to disrupt and deny enemy A2 and AD capabilities. The
  primary design is to protect the joint force by targeting critical enemy assets such as integrated air defense
  systems, cruise and ballistic missiles, aerial attack capabilities, and surveillance capabilities. Fires are
  employed to open windows of advantage across the battlefield. Joint forces are supported throughout all
  phases of the joint operation.
  1-45. The forward-deployed units operates in theater as part of the counter-A2 and AD force in support of
  a geographic combatant command and assigned to an Army Service component command. Units integrate
  space operations with intelligence, information operation cyberspace, electronic warfare operations, and
  signal assets to support force protection, target development, and information operations as required. Units
  deliver offensive and defensive cyber effects, leverage joint and Army space capabilities, and employ
  electronic warfare to support mission objectives. Units provide 24-hour command and control, and
  continuous mission analysis to ensure synchronized operations. The four detachment subordinate teams are
  intelligence, cyberspace electromagnetic activities, space operations, and signal.
  1-46. Space teams consist of two entities, a space control planning team on the headquarters staff and a
  space crew to provide effects.
  * The space control planning team provides an organic space support planning capability, and
  consist of space control personnel. The space control planning team characterizes adversary,
  neutral, and friendly space capabilities operating within the terrestrial environment and the space
  domains. They integrate space control and SSA into operations and serve as an advisor to the staff
  members on space control capabilities and limitations. They are the conduit between the staff,
  higher headquarters, and external space support agencies for all space-related activities.
  * The space crew delivers space-related effects. They characterize space capabilities operating
  within the battlespace, support freedom of action within the space domain for friendly forces, and
  defeat enemy efforts that interfere with or attack joint or allied space systems. The space crew
  denies windows of opportunity for the enemy to exploit operations through the space domain.
  They conduct assessment of space systems to support military operations, plan and conduct
  vulnerability assessments, conduct data integrity studies, and quality control to support U.S.
  military SATCOM.
  HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATIONS
  1-47. High altitude air operations are not considered space assets. However, they are so closely aligned
  with space capabilities they belong to the same Force Modernization Proponent. High altitude platforms are
  designed to augment capabilities provided by space-based satellites and provide additional capabilities not
  readily available from space-based sensors in a rapidly changing environment. High altitude operations are
  conducted utilizing the joint aerial layer network between 60,000 and 100,000 feet above mean sea level.
  1-48. High altitude platforms provide rapidly deployed capabilities to tactical forces. Platforms include
  super-pressure balloons, zero-pressure balloons, long endurance fixed-wing aircraft, and dirigibles. Payloads
  may be configured to accommodate one or multiple missions and may be configured as requirements change.
  Payloads may include pseudolites—ground or high altitude-based satellite imitators—synthetic aperture
  radar, wide-area motion sensors, bi-static radar, peer-to-peer data links, and re-transmission or extension
  payloads such as very high frequency, ultrahigh frequency, Ka-band, and other radio band signals.
  1-49. A few advantages of high altitude operations over space-based platforms are persistence over an area,
  extended operating distances for line of sight communications, and being physically closer to the AOR which
  may provide better imagery. One of the disadvantages of high altitude operations compared to space-based
  platforms is the necessity to have air superiority.
