Breaking the Kill Chain From Space

Space Force is focused on Chinese ballistic missiles.

Chinese missiles threaten American ships and facilities in the western Pacific:

China has invested heavily in its long-range strike capabilities, and the U.S. Space Force is working to identify the vulnerabilities in China’s kill chains should conflict arise, the leader of the service’s Indo-Pacific component said Oct. 22.

The kill chain has links that can be broken. Although sadly, land facilities can't maneuver, reducing the links that can be broken. 

The focus on Earth is a good demonstration why I never thought Space Force should be based on the Navy. Save that for when our military moves beyond the Earth-Moon system.
