Determining If Space Is an Applicable Component to Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield for Ranger Operations When Facing Non-Nation-State Adve

Beschreibung

This study investigates whether or not space Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) applies to 75th Ranger regimental operations when facing non-nation-state adversaries. IPB includes a process in which military commanders and staff planners perform a systematic and continuous process of analyzing the threat and environment in a specific geographic area. Space IPB is the application of the fundamental principles of intelligence preparation of the battlefield to the subject area of space. The study identifies characteristics of space and its effects on Ranger and non-nation-state adversary systems. It identifies commercially available space-related resources for use by the Rangers or a non-nation-state adversary. The study then relates space IPB analysis to Ranger operations when facing non-nation-state adversaries by using two separate situational vignettes. Finally, the study assesses specific Ranger systems that necessitate inclusion in space IPB based on the functional relation to space and space effects. Finally, the study presents the utility in conducting a thorough analysis of the subject area and concludes that space IPB applies to Ranger operations when facing non-nation-state adversaries.
