Speaker(s):
Mr. Mike Morgan, Executive Director, Air Force Global Strike Command Operations and Communications, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana; Colonel Matthew Brooks, Commander, 5th Bomber Wing, Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota; Colonel Stacy Jo Huser, Commander, 90th Missile Wing, F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming; Colonel Rick Gibbs, Commander, 377th Air Base Wing, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico; Colonel Brandon Parker, Commander, 7th Bomber Wing, Dyess Air Force Base, Texas
The Air Force is stretched between the culmination of reductions in end strength numbers, ops requirements and the increasing financial strain of maintaining the current infrastructure while needing to modernize its weapon systems. Wing Commanders must deal with these realities while still being called upon to improve the effectiveness of their organizations and absorb additional mission requirements.
