AURORA, Colo.—Space superiority emerged as a major theme of the 2025 AFA Warfare Symposium, so Air & Space Forces Magazine Editor-in-Chief Tobias Naegele spoke with retired Space Force Col. Jennifer Reeves, now a senior fellow with the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, to go deeper on the significance of that theme and what it means for the Space Force.
The Space Force’s small size has limited its capacity to consider what role it will play in future operations on and around the moon. That needs to change, according to Vice Chief of Operations Gen. Shawn Bratton.
