Exercise Space Flag is a United States Space Force (USSF) exercise intended to train tactical space units to gain and maintain space superiority. It aims to present realistic threats to analyze and respond to in a contested, degraded, and operationally-limited environment. Modeled after the U.S. Air Force's Red Flag Exercise, it is the USSF's largest space-warfare exercise.[1][2]
