Pure Strategy is an inquiry into the fundamental truth of strategy; its purpose, place, utility, and value.

No state relies on space for its military & economic security more than the United States, a reliance that grows daily more precarious. The United States Air Force has been charged with protecting American & allied space assets in peace & in war, &, at the direction of civilian authority, denying access to space to adversaries in times of crisis & conflict. It is a stark reality of international politics that great power shapes the arena in which state interaction takes place, & yet the exercise of power should be neither capricious nor arbitrary. The United States should endeavor at once to establish military supremacy in space, as it has already done at sea & in the air, for the purpose of stabilizing peace & extending into the foreseeable future its ongoing period of liberal hegemony.
