  United States Strategic Command - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
General James E. Cartwright is the commander of USSTRATCOM, and serves as the senior commander of the joint military forces from all four branches of the military assigned to the command.
However, to the contrary, their are officials who believe the reorganization into the current setup where the space mission was folded into U.S. Strategic Command and merged into a JFCC for Space and Global Strike creates better synergy and integration of space with other interrelated capabilities rather than have a single entity devoted to space.
Military space operations coordinated by USSC proved to be very valuable for the U.S.-led coalition in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

 frontline: missile wars: excerpts: drawing the line... | PBS
Space weaponisation with strike vehicles, as opposed to space utilisation for non-strike military purposes, should be the focus of the discussions of permitted and prohibited activities.
Space weaponisation, if defined as dealing with strike vehicles but not sensors, is the classification that presumably would ban activities of greatest concern and where agreement might be possible at some point in time.
The problem of space debris is a factor in the weaponisation of space, and in the ability of arms control agreements to deal with weapons in space for both defensive and offensive purposes.

While many would argue that space weapons could give the United States an undeniable near-term edge in war-fighting, many others would argue that space weapons pose far too many risks and costs to be worth what would likely be only a temporary benefit.

Space operations are already recognized as a crucial part of all American military operations.
Military space operations may be indirect, through such staples as navigation, communications, and surveillance/reconnaissance support to the war fighter, or direct, through development and fielding of a range of responsive directed energy and kinetic energy weapons.
All nations are becoming highly dependent on space assets for communications, weather forecasting, navigation and positioning, and surveillance and reconnaissance, and this dependency is growing at an exponential rate.

 Yorkshire CND - Outer Limits: World Must Avoid Arms Race In Space - 22/5/05
The deployment of systems in space with offensive strike capabilities are likely to be destabilising and would leave a lot of countries at the mercy of the US, dependent on the goodwill of Washington for their security, devoid of the present clout they have in foras such as the UN.
Space Strike Weapons — These weapons use directed energy, such as lasers, or kinetic energy (in which the sheer mass and velocity of the projectile/weapon is used) to destroy targets on land, air, and sea or in space.
Space must be prevented from becoming the next battleground — this is in the interests of all, including the US, and towards this end the countries of the world must work, in order to secure space for peaceful uses and for the collective benefit of humankind.

The US must ultimately control the high ground of space by attaining and maintaining space dominance through the use of space systems.
These space systems will be fully interconnected and, because of broad based commercialization, available to practically every nation and major organization on the planet.
A selectively lethal attack has two attributes: it strikes the desired target and only the desired target (thereby greatly reducing collateral, generally civilian, damage) and it can be "tuned" to levels of less than lethal force.

 Non-Proliferation, Arms Control & Disarmament Division - Outer Space and missile Technology
Outer space has not yet witnessed the introduction of space-based weapons on a permanent basis, but this "weapon-free" status may change if the international community does not first prevent space weaponization through the timely negotiation of measures banning the introduction of weapons into outer space.
Given the immense value of outer space for the economic benefit of the international community and the maintenance of international peace and security, not to mention the vast wealth of extraterrestrial resources, other nations might then accelerate research and development of Earth-based and space-based technologies designed to break this monopoly on weaponization.

 Disarmament Diplomacy: Opinion & Analysis - Drawing the Line: the Path to Controlling Weapons in Space
And is space different - and is the value of space for communication, commerce or travel different - in ways that might actually limit the extent to which space becomes weaponised?
Similarly, it is too late to draw the line at space utilisation for non-strike military purposes - including reconnaissance, surveillance and communication satellites where the recipients of the information from the satellites include military agencies.
The only practical place to draw the line today is space weaponisation, that is military strike vehicles - "shooters" - whether located in space or otherwise, that are tested and deployed for warfare in space or elsewhere.

 the nuclear information project: Global Strike Chronology
Although Global Strike is primarily a non-nuclear mission, the information collected for this chronology reveal that nuclear weapons are surprisingly prominent in both the planning and command structure for Global Strike.
The roots of the nuclear option in Global Strike go back more than a decade to the early 1990s, where military planners and policy makers gradually began to broaden the scope of U.S. nuclear strategy to incorporate missions against proliferators armed with weapons of mass destruction.
The operational embodiment of the Global Strike mission is CONPLAN 8022, the detailed strike plan directed against proliferation targets in North Korea, Iran, and elsewhere.

Unlike other European states, whose governments have invested massively in space technology and who are struggling to replicate America’s military space infrastructure, the UK has achieved potential military space independence largely through the efforts of small entrepreneurs, such as SSTL’s CEO, Sir Martin Sweeting, and the Starchaser team.
