Air Force Space and Cyber Community

In October, Col. Rod Pohlmann, USAF (Ret.), chapter vice president for education, served as the commentator for the chapter's October luncheon held at the Peterson Air Force Base Club. After welcoming the membership back from the summer break, he provided a few chapter announcements, introduced the head table and then lunch was served. William R. Marion II, chief technology officer, headquarters Air Force Space Command Communications and Information, treated the audience to a presentation. Marion's chief responsibilities are to provide senior technical guidance, architectures and strategic planning for the Air Force's space and cyber community. As such, he presented current concerns in these key areas that must be addressed in the near future. He emphasized that one of the major challenges involves migrating the Air Force's cyber community from a wired to a wired-wireless capability that still protects security concerns and takes advantage of the numerous technology advanced mobile assets available in industry today. Marion closed his presentation by taking a few questions from the audience.
