Guest Speaker Discusses the Emergence of Enterprise IT

In March, the chapter was honored to have guest speaker Brig. Gen. (Sel.) Chad D. Raduege, USAF. Raduege recently returned to the peninsula from a command tour at the White House Communications Agency and is now the director of cyberspace and information dominance, Headquarters Air Combat Command (ACC), Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. He is responsible for cyberspace and communications policy, resource advocacy and program management supporting the ACC's mission of providing combat-ready forces to deliver dominant combat airpower in support of national security strategy implementation. His team provides critical cyberspace and communications support for the command's 34 wings, 1,300 aircraft, 19 bases and 70 worldwide operating locations with 94,000 active duty and civilian personnel. Raduege talked about the changing focus of IT operations in the Air Force and the emergence of enterprise IT as a Service effort currently being led by the ACC. He also spoke about the ACC commander's goals: Revitalizing Squadrons, Building Leaders and Bringing the Future Faster. The luncheon was a huge success.
