The Pentagon wants the commercial space reserve to support military satellites in orbit

The plan, known as the Commercial Augmentation Space Reserve, or CASR, would allow the US Space Force to use the capabilities of the commercial space sector through “prenegotiated contractual agreements which would be activated in times of crisis or conflict,” according to the service’s Commercial Space Strategy document, which was released in April 2024. Such a plan would combine military, commercial and civil satellites operated by the US and its allies into one “hybrid space architecture,” as the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Unit refers to it.
