Army Missle Defense Systems Integration

Mission — Army Missle Defense Systems Integration source

This Program Element (PE) funds missile defense systems integration efforts for the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command in its role as the Army Service Component Command (ASCC) to USSTRATCOM and USSPACECOM. USASMDC: Headquarters, Department of the Army General Order 37, dated 16 October 2006, designated USASMDC as the Army proponent for ground-based midcourse defense (GMD), the Army integrator for global missile defense, and the ASCC of the U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). Upon its establishment, USASMDC became the Army Service Component Command of the United States Space Command (USSPACECOM). Army Regulation (AR) 10-87 Army Commands, Army Service Component Commands, and Direct Reporting Units dated 4 September 2007, and AR 5-22 The Army Force Modernization Proponent System dated 19 August 2009 designate USASMDC as the Army specified proponent for Global Missile Defense (GMD) capabilities. As the Army proponent for GMD, USASMDC is responsible for developing warfighting concepts, conducting warfighting experiments to validate those concepts, identifying capabilities needed to implement the validated concepts, and developing Doctrine, Organizations, Training, Material, Leadership & Education, Personnel, Facilities and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) solutions to realize GMD capabilities. As the Army integrator for global missile defense, USASMDC is responsible for reviewing programs managed by the Army, other Services, Defense agencies and National agencies to ensure that they are correctly synchronized and will ultimately provide the capabilities required by USSTRATCOM and USSPACECOM to execute their global missile defense responsibilities to provide protection of the homeland and regional/theater missile defense. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $3.551 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative." The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.076 million for civilian personnel to optimize the workforce in compliance with Executive Order 14210, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative."

Mission — Missile Defense Battlelab source

Project TR5 funds the Strategic Missile Defense (SMD) Force Development activities of the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) Space and Missile Defense Center of Excellence (SMDCoE). The SMDCoE is the warfighting function lead and Department of the Army force modernization proponent to develop the associated operational prototyping, experimentation, operational analysis, and modeling and simulation in support of SMD capabilities for current and future Forces. The SMDCoE SMD Force Development workforce supports the research and doctrine development from one of the SMDCoE principal locations in Huntsville, AL; Colorado Springs, CO; and Joint Base Langley-Eustis. As the Army proponent for SMD, USASMDC serves as the Army's bridge between technical development and operational fielding. The SMDCoE is responsible for developing warfighting concepts, conducting experiments and wargames to validate those concepts, identifying capabilities needed to implement the validated concepts, and developing Doctrine, Organizations, Training, Material, Leadership & Education, Personnel, Facilities and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) solutions to field current and future SMD capabilities. As the Army integrator for SMD, USASMDC is responsible for reviewing programs managed by the Army, other Services, Defense agencies and National agencies to ensure that they are correctly synchronized and will ultimately provide the capabilities required by USSTRATCOM, USSPACECOM and Western Hemisphere Command to execute their SMD responsibilities.
