PLAYING BY THE RULES
The drastic increase in commercial space activities within the last decade has motivated the emergence of behavioral norms concerning space domain management. Although generally viewed as too restrictive on military activities, establishing and adhering to such norms may actively benefit rather than constrain military freedom of action. Consolidating broad-ranging discussions on space behavior, this article examines the incentives for the US military to abide by norms, the current international frameworks governing armed conflict in space, and the role of commercial integration in shaping space warfighting doctrine. By clearly delineating operational limits concerning debris generation, thresholds and triggers, information-sharing, and the use of antisatellite weapons, norms of behavior improve military freedom of action and support the Space Force’s warfighting abilities.

OPTIMIZING OFFICER RETENTION IN THE US SPACE FORCE
This article proposes a targeted talent management strategy to optimize officer retention within the US Space Force. In exploring how retention influences operational readiness and strategic effectiveness, this article underscores the critical nature of talent management in maintaining US space dominance. A strategy that integrates a comprehensive career-mapping doctrine, algorithm-based assignment systems, and order-of-merit promotion practices aligns officers’ aspirations with organizational goals, thereby enhancing job satisfaction and retention. Rather than focusing primarily on broad retention strategies across various military branches, such a strategy specifically addresses the Space Force’s unique challenges and needs.

Developing national power in space : a theoretical model
\"Exploring the nature of space programs and how nations can maximize advantages gained from space operations, this book draws from military and economic theory to describe an original model of the development and employment of a nation's ability to operate in space. Chapters discuss implications for the history and organization of America's space program, particularly its military dimension\"--Provided by publisher.

Eisenhower at the dawn of the Space Age
Historians have established a norm whereby President Eisenhower's actions in relation to the dawn of the space age are judged solely as a response to the Soviet launch of the Sputnik satellite, and are indicative of a passive, negative presidency. His low-key actions are seen merely as a prelude to the US triumph in space which is largely bookended first by President Kennedy’s man-to-the-moon pledge in 1961, and finally by Neil Armstrong’s moon landing eight years later. This book presents an alternative view of the development of space policy during Eisenhower’s administration, assessing the hypothesis that his space policy was not a reaction to the heavily-propagandized Soviet satellite launches, or even the effect they caused in the US political and military elites, but the continuation of a strategic journey. This study engages with three distinct but converging strands of literature and proposes a revised interpretation of Eisenhower’s actions in relation to rockets, missiles and satellites: namely that Eisenhower was operating on a parallel path to the established norm that started with the Bikini Atoll Castle H-bomb tests; developed through the CIA's reconnaissance efforts and was distilled in the Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 which set a policy for US involvement in outer space that matched Eisenhower’s desire for a balanced budget and fundamental belief in maintaining peace. President Eisenhower was not interested in joining a “space race”: while national security underpinned his thinking, his space policy actions were strategic steps that actively sidestepped internecine armed forces rivalry, and provided a logical next step for both civilian and military space programs at the completion of the International Geophysical Year. In reassessing the United States’ first space policy, the book adds to the revisionism under way in relation to the Eisenhower presidency, focusing on the “Helping Hands” that enabled him to wage peace.

BOOK
The Decision to Attack
The debate over cyber technology has resulted in new considerations for national security operations. States find themselves in an increasingly interconnected world with a diverse threat spectrum and little understanding of how decisions are made within this amorphous domain.
With The Decision to Attack, Aaron Franklin Brantly investigates how states decide to employ cyber in military and intelligence operations against other states and how rational those decisions are. In his examination, Brantly contextualizes broader cyber decision-making processes into a systematic expected utility–rational choice approach to provide a mathematical understanding of the use of cyber weapons at the state level.
Discussed:
The Key Concepts of Cyber
The Motivation and Utility for Covert Action
Digital Power
Anonymity and Attribution in Cyberspace
Cyber and Conventional Operations:
The Dynamics of Conflict
Defining the Role of Intelligence in Cyberspace
How Actors Decide to Use Cyber—a Rational
Choice Approach
Cognitive Processes and Decision-Making
in Cyberspace
Finding Meaning in the Expected Utility of
International Cyber Conflict
