U.S. Navy Adm. Charles “Chas” Richard, commander of U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), speaks to his key staff on the battle deck of USSTRATCOM’s command and control facility (C2F) during Exercise Global Lightning 20 at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., Jan. 30, 2020. Global Lightning is an annual command and control exercise that employs global operations in coordination with other combatant commands, services, U.S. government agencies, and allies to deter, detect and, if necessary, defeat strategic attacks against the United States and its allies. This is the first major exercise USSTRATCOM conducted entirely from the C2F, the command’s newest weapon system that enables it to connect to national leadership, all three legs of the triad, and other platforms key to executing operations.
