He will decide what are the next candidates to do that,\u201d Lt. Gen. David Miller told reporters in a Feb. 27 briefing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman announced in September the service <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2023\/09\/14\/space-force-aims-for-more-efficient-operations-with-integrated-units\/\" target=\"_blank\">would pilot an integrated mission delta construct<\/a> as a way to better align responsibility, authority and resources within mission areas. The concept is a departure from the service\u2019s current unit structure, which separates operations, sustainment and acquisition into separate commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Force chose positioning, navigation and timing, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spaceforce.mil\/News\/Article-Display\/Article\/3678324\/delta-commanders-share-opportunities-lessons-learned-from-becoming-integrated-m\/\" target=\"_blank\">PNT, as well as electronic warfare as the first two mission areas<\/a> to test out the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Miller said the service has been analyzing lessons from the first few months of the effort and made recommendations to Saltzman for which mission areas should be included in the next phase. He would not discuss his proposal with reporters and didn\u2019t disclose the timing of an announcement, but said to expect more details \u201cin the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can imagine that my recommendations are pretty aggressive,\u201d Miller said. \u201cBut we\u2019re going to go with whatever the service chief and the [Air Force secretary] decide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since implementing the construct, the PNT and electronic warfare integrated mission deltas have seen significant efficiency improvements, according to Miller \u2014 blowing past testing milestones and fielding capabilities in \u201crecord time.\u201d For PNT, he said, the team demonstrated the ability to quickly address service outages now that its commander has authority for all of the system\u2019s sustainment and maintenance, which would have previously resided in a separate command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the model has worked well for those two mission areas and Miller expects the same in other areas, he noted that the integrated approach may not be the right fit for all capability sets. Some, for example, may not be designed to present combat forces and so would function better under a single delta with a more focused responsibility scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t think that in every case and every situation that you\u2019ll see an IMD, or Integrated Mission Delta, be a requirement,\u201d he said. \u201cSome of those deltas don\u2019t need that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lt.
