WASHINGTON — The U.S. cannot fall into the trap of focusing on warfighting domains when debating responses to an adversary, Gen. John Hyten, the head of United States Strategic Command, said Tuesday.
Speaking at the annual Space and Missile Defense Symposium in Huntsville, Ala., Hyten also called for a change in how the U.S. conducts missile defense tests, which he believes needs to emphasize lessons learned over pure tactical success.
United States Strategic Command, or STRATCOM, is the lead organization for America’s nuclear arsenal but also has dominion over space and cyber operations. Hyten himself comes from the U.S. Air Force space community, giving him a clear sense of how other nations are improving their capabilities in those areas.
