Chapter Luncheon Highlights Strategic Deterrence |
In October, Elizabeth Durham-Ruiz, director, Command, Control, Communications and Computer Systems and chief information officer, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, spent time with the chapter discussing the mission of her directorate. Durham-Ruiz pointed out the significance of strategic deterrence. No plans work if strategic deterrence fails. It underpins all plans. She highlighted that Adm. Charles Richard, USN, commander of USSTRATCOM, along with the secretary of defense, have recognized China's recent jump in warfighting capability as "China's strategic breakout." |
