Navigation and Positioning
Seeks to control the information environment and establish information superiority.
Counter Information
Supply timely and accurate environmental information, including space environment and atmospheric weather
Weather Services
Operations intended to directly achieve strategic effects by striking at the enemy’s center of gravity (COG). The attack should affect the enemy’s entire effort rather than just a single action, battle, or operation and should produce effects well beyond the proportion or effect expended in the execution.
Strategic Attacks
