The U.S. Army is a branch of the U.S. military that plays a significant role in space, primarily as a major user of space-based capabilities. It relies on satellite communications, GPS, and missile warning systems to support terrestrial operations. The Army's Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) operates the 1st Space Brigade, which utilizes satellites and space technology for communication, intelligence, and force protection, working with partners like the U.S. Space Force. Key activities include space operations, missile defense, and developing space-related technologies for future warfare.
