About

The Army's land power is hinged in space. General Gordon R. Sullivan Throughout US history, the military services have fought to guard US national interests on land, on sea, and in the air. Historically, whoever held and used the "high ground" had a significant advantage over his adversaries. While holding high ground in itself does not ensure victory, it has restricted the enemy's freedom to maneuver. Space, the ultimate high ground, has joined land, sea, and air as a medium in which national defense can be prosecuted. Therefore, the Army has a vital interest in the farseeing aspects of space technology. Space offers the Army unique or enhanced capabilities to achieve land dominance.
