Mark Beverstock (center left), Assistant Chief of Defence Staff, Nuclear Chemical Biological, at USSTRATCOM Headquarters, Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., Nov. 9, 2015, at the conclusion of Exercise GLOBAL THUNDER 16. Allied participation in the exercise strengthens relationships with our international partners and provides additional levels of resiliency in our combined forces. GLOBAL THUNDER is an annual U.S. Strategic Command training event that assesses command and control functionality in all USSTRATCOM mission areas and affords component commands a venue to evaluate their joint operational readiness. GLOBAL THUNDER 16 was based on a notional scenario with fictitious adversaries and planning was conducted for more than a year prior to the exercise. One of nine DoD unified combatant commands, USSTRATCOM has global strategic missions, assigned through the Unified Command Plan, which include 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. Also pictured: U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Clinton E. Crosier (left), USSTRATCOM director of plans and policy; the Honorable Mr. Richard Berthon (second from left), British Diplomatic Service defence counsellor, nuclear; U.K. Royal Navy Capt. Dicky Daws (second from right), USSTRATCOM U.K. liaison officer; and U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Allen W. Batschelet (right), USSTRATCOM chief of staff. (USSTRATCOM photo by U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt.
