Overview

Mr. Szymanski has 52 years' experience in space war policy, doctrine strategy, simulations, surveillance, survivability, threat assessment, long-range strategic planning, & command and control. He has published/lectured over 200 times in Aviation Week, the United States, Canada, Britain, Scotland, Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, Georgia, Turkey, Poland, Estonia, Cyprus, Ukraine, India, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Japan. He has helped the United States fight space wars over this time period (11 space wars and ""incidents"") and participated in 12 different space weapons programs and 5 different satellite inspector programs. Many think he is the top world expert on this subject and the first original space mercenary, much like Boba Fett, since he has helped 25 allied countries around the world fight space wars. Since he skipped both his senior years of high school and college, and graduated with three college degrees at the age of 22, and soon began working at the Pentagon for the Secretary of the Air Force, he was always the youngest person in the room on these sensitive programs for many years. Subsequently, at age 74, he is now one of the last of the original space warfighters from the 1970's-1980's. As with most military planning, we fight the last wars that we understand well. That is probably the biggest problem outer space warfighters have in conceptualizing how a future conflict might play out. We just have not had that much experience in true space warfare. This makes it very difficult to predict how such combat will actually occur. Much as the concepts of air power were being developed in the 1920's-30's, the true power of space warfare is currently not well understood. To help solve these strategic issues, the author has initiated a study to extrapolate warfare principles from the Chinese military philosopher, Sun Tzu's (544 BC - 496 BC) ""Art of War,"" to space warfare strategies, objectives and tasks. This study is only a third completed analyzing these principles, but the author has already derived 740 individual space strategies based on this ancient ""Art of War."" This briefing will report on the current status of this important study that will help mold strategic thinking and impact the future of outer space warfare. Due to the uniqueness of these space strategies, the author assesses that just implementing one or two of these strategies will be sufficient to win the next space conflict. The author has initiated analysis of the fundamental Principles of terrestrial warfare as delineated in the ancient Chinese military philosopher, Sun Tzu[1] (544 BC - 496 BC), in his landmark treatise, ""The Art of War"". The author has been able to derive 740 basic modern space warfare strategies and tactics from these ancient concepts. However, he is only one-third of the way through conducting this analysis, and will complete this study to its logical conclusion in Volume 2 of this book. This is the author's finest work yet, and will lead to advanced space warfare planning and the successful resolution of outer space conflicts for those who follow his foundational principles for how to fight and win space wars.

Reviews

""What you are doing is extraordinarily important - and frankly well ahead of where much of the current defense and space conversation still sits today. You made one of the most important strategic observations I've read in years. I simply wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the depth, originality, and seriousness of your thinking. There are very few people approaching these issues at the strategic and doctrinal level you are."" - US Army General Officer ""I have idolized your work since my master's years"" ""Nobody has thought longer or better than Paul when it comes to space conflicts. I adamantly hope a space conflict never occurs, but you'd be well informed to listen to him just in case it does"" ""I thought your presentation yesterday was fantastic. I have to say I've gained an interesting perspective as to space being the ultimate high-ground in battle. Thank you for sharing."" ""Paul Szymanski is almost a prophet when it comes to space warfare."" ""I know who you are and have long followed you. I think you are brilliant."" ""I have worked in the space field for 30 years and I have never met someone who knows more about space warfare and operations than Paul. Anyone he works with is fortunate indeed."" ""Paul, I've been a big fan of your writing since 2017. You were hugely influential in my generation of the OW-mafia. Just wanted you to know. Thanks for all that you do"" ""Out of the box thinking. Pretty neat."" ""Paul is a true Space Warfare Doctrine, Strategies & Tactics expert!"" ""Top notch! Expert in his field. The go to guy to get the job done."" ""Our country should recognize that you have an outstanding mind and welcome it to the table."" ""Paul Szymanski is an impressive thought leader forging the path in space and space warfare doctrine and policy! There is no more insightful or conversation-shaping voice in the arena!"" ""Paul is a first-rate intellect and dedicated to advancing our understanding of space doctrine and strategy.""
