With the change of the internal and external environments and the space security concept, the US military space strategy undergoes major adjustments, from emphasis on improving the satellite system function to focus on how to improve the protective abilities of the space architectures and how to secure the functions of space architectures under the adverse conditions. This paper traces the change of the US space security concept also the purpose and the method of the strategy transformation to a disaggregated military space architecture. The strategy transformation is analyzed from various aspects such as the top level planning, the evaluation indexes of the architecture and the main difficulties. The implementation statues, the methods and the difficulties of the strategy transition in the fileds of the military communication, the missile warning, the reconnaissance, the meteorology and the navigation satellite systems are analyzed.
