Global Commons - Space and Cyberspace

The "global commons" of space and cyberspace are vitally important to our way of life. Our civil, military, and commercial activities are dependent upon access to cyberspace and space-based capabilities, and we can expect future adversaries to attack these dependencies. Our dependence on these capabilities and their associated vulnerabilities requires us to focus our efforts to ensure US freedom of action in these domains.

FULL STATEMENT OF
GENERAL KEVIN P. CHILTON
COMMANDER
UNITED STATES STRATEGIC COMMAND
BEFORE THE STRATEGIC FORCES SUBCOMMITTEE
SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE
