What we do

USSPACECOM leverages commercial space capabilities to mitigate gaps, enhance architecture resilience, and maintain a technological advantage over competitors. To support this, the Capability and Resource Integration Directorate (J8) advocates for necessary mission funding and requirements. Within J8, the Commercial Integration Branch and its Industry Engagement Team act as the primary entry point for industry partners. They implement the command's commercial strategy, coordinate senior leadership engagements, and integrate commercial solutions into operations to deter and overcome threats to space capabilities.
