Airmen and Guardians are inextricably linked through a shared history. Prior to the creation of the United States Space Force (USSF) in 2019, the United States Air Force (USAF) detailed its space operational doctrine in Air Force Doctrine Publication (AFDP) 3-14, Counterspace. This new Space Support doctrine explains the Airman's perspective on the many interdependencies between the air and space domains. This revision details the current support relationships between the two services and the mission interplay required for successful integration of military airpower and spacepower. Finally, this publication clarifies the change of responsibility for space operations to the USSF and reflects the USAF's continued reliance on space capabilities to enable global airpower.
