... The previous chapters illustrate that the Navy's current capstone concept Sea Power 21 will directly depend on space support -- thus, it is critical for the Department of the Navy to treat space support as a priority. The Committee on the Navy's Needs in Space for Providing Future Capabilities believes that if the Department of the Navy implements the recommendations made in this study, the Navy and Marine Corps will be better able to transform successfully into an even more effective and relevant force within the DOD.
