Next to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Commander of the Strategic Command is the most powerful person in the military.  STRATCOM was formed out of the old Strategic Air Command (SAC), and is SAC on steroids.  In addition to strategic bombers and Minuteman missiles, STRATCOM picked up submarine launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), the space mission, and the national cyber security program.

Last month I had the pleasure of attending the STRATCOM change of command ceremony where Air Force General John E. Hyten took command of this far-reaching organization.  I won't go into detail, but I KNOW the character and devotion to service this man embodies and am very comfortable that he will continue to serve honorably under the Trump administration.
