McMahon (left of center), senior enlisted leader of USSTRATCOM, meet with APEX 44 participants at the Dougherty Conference Center, Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., March 22, 2017.

APEX is a Department of Defense (DoD) Senior Executive Service orientation program for newly appointed senior executives for a practical and theoretical understanding of the structure and processes of the Office of the Secretary of Defense; the combatant commands, including USSTRATCOM; the joint staff; and the military departments. The program also helps civilian leaders gain an enterprise-wide perspective that encompasses expectations, opportunities and challenges currently facing DoD. One of nine DoD unified combatant commands, USSTRATCOM has global strategic missions assigned through the Unified Command Plan that include strategic deterrence; space operations; cyberspace operations; joint electronic warfare; global strike; missile defense; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; and analysis and targeting.
