Warfighting, collaboration demoed at NSTTC Users' Conference
June 13, 2024

Space Delta 11 held its annual National Space Test and Training Complex (NSTTC) Users' Conference from June 4-7, 2024, concentrating on current and future range and aggressor users.
The event aimed to educate attendees on range and aggressor capabilities, provide onboarding guidance, and foster discussions among key stakeholders who rely on Delta 11 for realistic training.
The NSTTC integrates various test and training range services across multiple environments. Unlike traditional air and ground ranges, it combines space and ground nodes to create unique environments tailored to specific testing and training needs.

U.S. Space Force Brig. Gen. Todd Moore, former deputy commander of Space Training and Readiness Command, opened the conference by emphasizing the importance of realistic training environments.
"From the very beginning of standing up STARCOM and developing operational test and training infrastructure, it was clear this was one of the most important investments we needed to make," Moore said.
"If we don't have a place where we can punish each other for bad decisions, where we can acknowledge what does and does not work, we are never going to be ready for combat."

Delta 11 officials stated that this year's conference aimed to identify warfighter needs and align range capabilities to enhance combat readiness and effectiveness.
Over 300 attendees, including space professionals and industry leaders, convened to discuss initiatives across multiple NSTTC domains, including space electromagnetic warfare, orbital warfare, and cyber and digital operations.
Domain-specific working groups were organized to provide detailed insights, encourage collaboration, and address essential requirements for diverse operations.

The conference featured a capabilities event, offering demonstrations of NSTTC equipment such as the 25th Space Range Squadron's Range Closed Loop Environment, Transportable Range Operations Center, the 57th Space Aggressor Squadron's Aggressor Relative Trajectory System, 98th Space Range Squadron's Range Control Software and HARRIER Command and Control Software, and the 527th Space Aggressor Squadron's SATCOM EMI Demo.
The NSTTC Cyber Range also hosted a "Capture the Flag" event for conference participants.
Delta 11 commander, U.S. Space Force Col. Jay Steingold, said the conference successfully established new relationships and initiated dialogues with a diverse group of Department of Defense personnel and industry partners.

"Delta 11 is dedicated to advancing our capabilities and ensuring our warfighters are prepared for the challenges of today and tomorrow," Steingold said. "This conference is a testament to our commitment to continuous improvement and collaboration across the space domain."
The vision for the NSTTC is built around four focus areas: Service Capability, Joint Applicability, Integrated Test, and Threat Representation.
These areas ensure that the NSTTC provides interconnected, scalable, and distributed physical and digital ranges for full-spectrum test and training, helping space warfighters develop, validate, and sharpen joint warfighting solutions to prevail in conflict.

Exercise RED SKIES 24 achieved success during its inaugural execution from Dec. 11-15. The exercise represents the U.S. Space Force's latest service exercise, emphasizing the orbital warfare, or OW, discipline, which applies orbital dynamics and satellite flight to Space Force operations.

Hosted by the Space Training and Readiness Command, or STARCOM, through the 392nd Combat Training Squadron, or CTS, the OW-focused exercise provided training for Guardians from Space Operations Command, or SpOC.

The overarching objective of RED SKIES aims to equip Guardians with the skills necessary to respond to potential attacks on U.S. satellite systems.

U.S. Space Force Brig. Gen. Todd Moore, STARCOM deputy commander, described RED SKIES as the first advanced training event enabling Guardians to employ operationally-representative tactics in a dynamic, threat-representative orbital domain, securing the nation's interests in space.

"I can confidently say that this 'first-ever' will become a mainstay in how SpOC and STARCOM partner to ensure we achieve the true goals and objectives of advanced training," Moore said. "There is a lot more to come as we iterate on a capability like this and will drive to include every SpOC Delta that wants to prove they are ready."

RED SKIES initially took the form of a simulation-based exercise, with plans to transition to live on-orbit operations via satellites in the future, according to U.S. Space Force Lt. Col. Scott Nakatani, 392nd CTS commander.

"Exercise RED SKIES is breaking ground for the U.S. Space Force, creating the environment to practice the skills and planning necessary to protect and defend the space domain," Nakatani said. "RED SKIES will grow from here, expanding to include more units under realistic command-and-control scenarios with an emphasis on executing coordinated, integrated space sorites. We are building service orbital warfare experience in simulation with an eye on transitioning RED SKIES into the live-fly on-orbit exercise we need as a service."

The first RED SKIES exercise centered on tactical command and control of multiple satellites, with Guardian operators engaging aggressors to achieve layered space effects.

This experience led to the identification of requirements for enhancing the realism of orbital warfare simulations and refining integrated sortie planning processes.

These lessons will be incorporated into future RED SKIES exercises and shared across U.S. Space Force service exercises, marking a significant advancement for the U.S. Space Force, Nakatani said.

U.S. Space Force Capt. DeShawna Moore, 392nd CTS lead exercise planner, noted the exercise's success and highlighted the integration among multiple deltas to tackle challenging on-orbit scenarios.

"As the lead planner and exercise director for RED SKIES, the exercise was extremely successful," Moore said. "Integration among multiple deltas to plan through and execute some of the toughest on-orbit problems for layered effects accomplished the exercise's primary objective. We will take the lessons to make the next execution better."

The initiation of on-orbit exercises like RED SKIES underscores the evolving nature of military space operations. As the space domain continues to gain importance for national security, these exercises demonstrate the commitment to developing combat-ready forces capable of operating effectively in space.

Moore emphasized the significance of these exercises, stating, "Realistic simulation like this allows us to refine tactical skills that drive us towards tactically relevant thinking ... more towards what it means to ensure space superiority - as U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman noted in C-Note #14, we are a service and not a 'combat support agency' because when directed, the U.S. Space Force may need to control our domain by force."

"This SKIES event is also helping us define clearer requirements in the future to ensure that the space industry develops the training tools to compete and prevail in our domain," Moore added. "Competition and combat in space is new and current space capabilities are vulnerable. We need to be equipped and ready for any conflict in, from, or through space. During RED SKIES, these Guardians achieved more for OW readiness than anything else we've done to date as a combined STARCOM/SPOC team."

Other senior leaders during the exercise included U.S. Space Force Brig. Gen. Todd Moore, STARCOM deputy commander, U.S. Space Force Col. Phillip Verroco, Delta 5 commander, U.S. Space Force Col. Robert Schreiner, the National Reconnaissance Office's Aerospace Data Facility Colorado commander, Royal Canadian Air Force Col. Catherine Marchetti, 7th Wing commander and Canadian Space Operations Center director, Royal Australian Air Force Group Captain Darrell May, Director of Space Forces, and Royal Air Force Group Captain Richard Niven, United Kingdom Space Command chief of staff.

SPACE FLAG 23-1 hosted a total of 165 participants. The training audience included 63 space warfighters from every mission Delta in the Space Operations Command. The National Reconnaissance Office leveraged SPACE FLAG to train nine members from their Space Force Element, and the U.S. Air Force Reserves sent three space warfighters to receive training.

Allied partners sent 26 space warfighters to SPACE FLAG with six coming from Australia, three from Canada, and 17 from the United Kingdom.

It took 33 members of the 392d CTS to put on the exercise with outstanding support from the 57th Space Aggressor Squadron, 527th Space Aggressor Squadron, the U.S. Air Force's 318th Range Squadron, and the U.S. Air Force Reserves' 26th Space Aggressor Squadron. STARCOM Delta 1's 319th Combat Training Squadron provided a SPACE FLAG preparatory course to all mission planning leads of the training audience a week before the exercise.

"For the first time in SPACE FLAG, Cyber Guardians and Super Coders planned and executed simulated combat operations in real-time throughout the entirety of the exercise," said U.S. Space Force Capt. Karl Pruhsmeier, 392d CTS and SPACE FLAG 23-1 exercise director. "Using a U.S. Air Force cyber range, the 527th Space Aggressor squadron was able to help us train multi-domain mission planning and execution, which exposed numerous opportunities to enhance mission assurance for orbital warfare, space domain awareness, space battle management, and other space warfighting functions."

SPACE FLAG is the only space exercise in the Department of Defense accredited as a Joint National Training Capability. The next iteration of SPACE FLAG will occur in April 2023 where the 392d CTS plans to train U.S. and Coalition space warfighters again, marking the first time SPACE FLAG offers back-to-back Coalition combat training events.

Space Force Training, Readiness Field Command Activated In Colorado

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colorado (AFNS) - The Department of the Air Force activated the third and final field command of the U.S. Space Force, Space Training and Readiness Command, in a ceremony here Aug. 23.

Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall approved the final organizational structure for STARCOM's establishment on Aug. 13, and Chief of Space Operations Gen. John W. "Jay" Raymond wasted no time putting the new command's leadership team in place.

Brig. Gen. Shawn N. Bratton, Air National Guard, assumed command after leading the STARCOM planning team since February 2021. Col. Todd Moore will be the deputy commander and will promote to brigadier general in September, and Chief Master Sgt. James Seballes will be the senior enlisted leader of the new field command.

"Today marks a significant milestone for the U.S. Space Force," said Raymond. "The stand-up of STARCOM is a critical step in aligning education, training, and test and evaluation units under one command, in support of the nation's newest military Service. With our three field commands and commanders now in place, we continue to transition from inventing the force to integrating it, with a targeted focus on developing combat-ready space forces and delivering critical space warfighting capabilities to joint and coalition forces."

People are at the heart of STARCOM's mission. It is charged with preparing Guardians to prevail in competition and conflict through innovative education, training, doctrine, and test. It will deliberately develop Guardians from accessions to separation or retirement, and at every career milestone in between, providing realistic and accessible training, range, and test environments to support the warfighter.

"As space capabilities have evolved over the decades from novelty to nicety to necessity, so has the need to have a military service focused on the space domain that is supported by a command dedicated to developing space professionals," said Bratton. "The bottom line is that STARCOM will prepare every Guardian to prevail in conflict through innovative warfighting capabilities and tactics that keep USSF ahead of any emerging threat."

STARCOM's five goals are: build the USSF training enterprise, develop a domain-focused education enterprise, develop space doctrine and tactics, build the test and range infrastructure, and develop and reinforce Space Force culture. It will accomplish these goals through the missions of its five subordinate deltas, which are organized around a specific function, such as test, doctrine, training, etc.

With the standup of STARCOM also comes a heightened focus on establishing the Space Test Enterprise necessary to deliver robust and credible space capabilities and prepare Guardians to respond to future threats.

"USSF is taking a bold step with the standup of STARCOM by implementing a service-wide integrated test philosophy and bridging the gap between acquisition and operational communities to field resilient space capabilities at speed," said Col. Nick Hague, Director of Test and Evaluation, Headquarters USSF. "Within STARCOM, Space Force will develop the talent, test infrastructure, and test culture that will help secure our nation's interests in the space domain."

During the ceremony, STARCOM deltas - the five subordinate O-6 commands - were also activated. Deltas are comprised of squadrons focused on specific tactics.
