From August 10 to 21, 2025, more than 350 participants from the U.S. Department of Defense, industry, and nine partner nations (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Norway) gathered at Maxwell Air Force Base (Alabama) to participate in the Schriever Wargame 2025 (SW 25) space exercise.

This forward-looking strategic and operational exercise, organized by the Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM) and Space Delta 10 of the US Space Force, looks ten years into the future to:

• Test strategies and policies in spatial conflict scenarios,
• Explore emerging technologies,
• Guide the design of future forces,
• Strengthen security and interoperability among allies.

The aims of this exercise are to anticipate and understand potential threats, identify the capabilities needed to address them, and make informed decisions today to prevent conflicts tomorrow.

Under the auspices of the French Space Command (CDE), a French delegation composed of personnel from the CDE, DGRIS, CNES, and industrial partners participated in this exercise: proud to have contributed to the collective effort to consolidate our common security and ensure that our forces remain among the most effective in the world.
