Haney (third from right), U.S. Strategic Command commander, welcomes members of the USSTRATCOM Deterrence and Assurance Academic Alliance to Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., May 11, 2015. Haney invited the alliance representatives to USSTRATCOM headquarters to discuss a variety of topics related to the command's global strategic missions. The meeting is part of his ongoing effort to build and maintain enduring relationships with partner organizations from the private sector, academia and allied nations to address challenges in the strategic operating environment. "The Academic Alliance aims to stimulate new thinking and develop future generations of deterrence and assurance practitioners by collaborating with local and national universities, promoting mission-related research topics within their departments, and participating in speaking engagements and workshops," said Michelle Black, USSTRATCOM's academic alliance coordinator. The alliance currently consists of USSTRATCOM and eight local and national universities. USSTRATCOM is one of nine DoD unified combatant commands and is charged with strategic deterrence; space operations; cyberspace operations; joint electronic warfare; global strike; missile defense; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; combating weapons of mass destruction; and analysis and targeting. <br />Left to right - USSTRATCOM Academic Alliance members who attended the meeting: U.S. Air Force Maj.
