What is the PLA Strategic Support Force (SSF) responsible for?

• A. Organization managing cyber, space, and electronic warfare
• B. Space Systems Department
• C. Missile Defense Command
• D. National Aeronautics Service

Answer: (A)

The PLA Strategic Support Force is the branch charged with coordinating and controlling the PLA’s information-domain capabilities—cyberspace, space operations, and electronic warfare—to provide information dominance for military operations. This means managing space-based assets, secure communications, and cyber operations (defense and offense), as well as electronic attack and protection of networks, so that PLA forces can observe, decide, and act with superior information. It isn’t a single department focused only on space systems, nor a dedicated missile-defense command, and there is no separate agency called the National Aeronautics Service.
