Takayuki Onozuka, Japan’s Joint Staff Defense Plans and Policy Department director general; and other leaders to discuss space, cyber, and missile defense as part of an ongoing collaborative effort by USSTRATCOM and Japan’s Ministry of Defense to continue growing their partnership. 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.
