Leader Discusses NC3 Today Versus NC3 Tomorrow

In May, Vice Adm. David Kriete, USN, deputy commander, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, spent time with the chapter discussing nuclear command, control and communications (NC3) as the fourth Arm of the TRIAD. Adm. Kriete emphasized the necessity of having the right gear and the right message. He commented on how the traditional triad now has a fourth leg consisting of NC3, which is fostered by groups like AFCEA. NC3 depends on being able to rapidly and securely connect to accomplish tasks. NC3 is increasingly important where orders are given in adverse conditions. Adm. Kriete commented on NC3 today versus NC3 tomorrow, where it must remain safe, secure, and reliable. The next NC3 challenge will be to explore an NC3 architecture that will transcend into the future. Adm. Kriete said the cyber threat has been increasing in frequency and capability. USSTRATCOM's significance is in bringing global effects/impacts to bear. Adm. Kriete concluded by sharing that a good deal is revealed to the public, but enough is concealed to enable operations with freedom of effects.
