the Space Force<\/a>\u2019s new training branch was immediately faced with pulling together scattered pieces of the Pentagon\u2019s nearly 80-year-old military space enterprise into a singular training hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSTARCOM boss Maj. Gen. Shawn Bratton spent that first year hashing out how to bring people into the service, whether as a new recruit or from elsewhere in the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now Space Force guardians need to get good at their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In its second year, STARCOM is turning to the problem of specialized training: what skills to teach and how to provide them \u2014 and how to make it better than before, when space training fell under the Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s raised a flood of new questions: How should the Space Force measure the readiness of its troops? What training is best done virtually, and what should remain in the real world? How does the service build a high-tech National Space Test and Training Complex that can keep up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe own spacecraft we can fly \u2026 but that traditionally never happened until you showed up in your operational unit,\u201d Bratton said Tuesday at the annual Interservice\/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think we\u2019re considering now moving the needle back into training with live operations, but I don\u2019t know how to measure the value of training that\u2019s done live, actual sorties on a spacecraft, versus training that\u2019s done in the simulator,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That need for real-world practice reflects an increasingly offensive posture among military space units and a growing awareness of the cyber and physical threats their systems face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, Bratton said live training could add new depth for guardians practicing to fend off attacks on orbiting satellites \u2014 without being there in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can go to sea, you can put the aircraft in the air \u2026 but unless you\u2019re one of just a handful that becomes an astronaut, no guardian is ever going to go into the domain,\u201d Bratton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To better understand the Space Force\u2019s options, Bratton visited an organization that\u2019s prepared people to work in the cosmos for decades: NASA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There, he was struck by what sustained investment in detailed, modern virtual training can accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen you talk to an astronaut, he\u2019s like, \u2018The first time I dock at the [International Space Station] is the first time I\u2019m flying in that \u2026 vehicle,\u2019\u201d Bratton said. \u201cThe infrastructure they built and the dedication to training and the ability to replicate, even down to the smallest detail, what happens when you\u2019re in the capsule, shows the dedication of that organization to training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Defense Department needs to stop shortchanging training to fund other programs instead, he said: \u201cWe have to stop giving that away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guardians must also learn to work as a team to fly their GPS satellites and manage their missile-tracking radars. So, Bratton is looking to the sea rather than the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think we need to really, probably, go spend some time with the Navy,\u201d he said, likening the situation to working on a ship. \u201cHow do you train as a crew that operates a single vehicle or, in our case, a constellation of spacecraft? \u2026 None of our spacecraft are operated by a single individual.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Space, cyber and intel specialists handle those spacecraft together, he said, but they don\u2019t train as a team until later in the process. Starting that training earlier could make units more cohesive and responsive when they get to a real ops floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simulators that let those teams work together in the digital realm, regardless of their job or where they sit, would move that forward as well, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s one goal for the National Space Test and Training Center that\u2019s now in the works. Setting up the infrastructure for such a massive endeavor is among STARCOM\u2019s greatest technical challenges, Bratton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the Space Force\u2019s fledgling reputation as the most digital-forward military service, Bratton still isn\u2019t sold on how some of the most buzzy technologies could help train guardians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t seen an implementation of it that I can point to and say, \u2018That\u2019s the thing that we need,\u2019\u201d he said of artificial intelligence. \u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of ideas of what could be realized with AI, but \u2026 it\u2019s not quite mature enough in implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And though he\u2019s pushing for cutting-edge simulation tech, he\u2019s conscious of its limits for uses like large-scale, joint combat exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bratton\u2019s team will hash out those details as the Department of the Air Force decides on a permanent home for STARCOM. He\u2019d also like Congress to pass overdue federal spending legislation so the Space Force\u2019s work can move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c[Fiscal] \u201823 is the first budget year for STARCOM. Everything\u2019s a new start for me,\u201d he said of programs that are on hold without initial funding. \u201cIt really is painful in these early years for the Space Force.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
