		In the realm of military science, the concept of space warfare is quite young, having come into existence only when the space age came about approximately five decades ago.
		Since space warfare is pushing its way to the forefront of the US government’s national strategic concerns, we should clearly define space warfare and strategy for the coming decades, without the overwhelming influences of land-, naval-, or air-warfare doctrine.
		When dealing with hostile nations and their space operations, the United States must contend with eavesdropping intelligence satellites that monitor activities around the globe: high-resolution imagery satellites that photograph troop movements or buildup operations (similar to the buildup during Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Middle East in 2003).
