The Pentagon has released “The National Military Strategic Plan for the War on Terrorism”—an “authoritative” document intended to sort out and synchronize DOD efforts in the so-called “long war.” One key provision of the 40-page document—which can be found here, but, caution, it’s a slow load because it’s image heavy—is official designation of the head of US Special Operations Command as the “supported combatant commander.”
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
