Crawford III, judge advocate general of the Navy; and Col. Michael Smidt, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) staff judge advocate; provide their senior-level perspectives on legal support to combatant commands during the inaugural USSTRATCOM-hosted Advanced Operations Law Conference at the Dougherty Conference Center, Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., Sept. 9, 2016. The three-day conference, held in collaboration with the National Strategic Research Institute and the University of Nebraska College of Law, brought together USSTRATCOM leadership, attorneys from DoD organizations and academia, and other legal experts to better understand operational law and share thought processes across organizational lines. Topics of discussion included economic targeting, foreign approach to the law of armed conflict, and critical issues in space and cyber law and policy. One of nine DoD unified combatant commands, USSTRATCOM has global strategic missions assigned through the Unified Command Plan, which include strategic deterrence; space operations; cyberspace operations; joint electronic warfare; global strike; missile defense; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; combating weapons of mass destruction; and analysis and targeting.
