 With your look around the Air Force, I'm technical sergeant, Air Command. General Anthony Cotton is the new commander of U.S. Strategic Command. He's Stratcom's eighth commander, taking over from Navy Admiral Charles Richard in a ceremony at Offit Air Force Base, Nebraska. Cotton takes responsibility for the nation's nuclear triad with ballistic missile submarines, long-range strategic bombers, and intercontinental ballistic missiles. He formerly commanded Air Force Global Strike Command overseeing two of the three legs of the triad. He relinquished that command to General Thomas Bousier. Bousier spoke at the Change of Command Ceremony at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, saying Global Strike's mission is critical to national defense and that it would take the whole team of military and civilians to compete and win. Technicians are working to update equipment at launch control centers for the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. A total of 15 missile alert facility sites are getting the upgrades. Much of the equipment tagged for replacement came online about 50 years ago. The upgrades consist of switching out floppy disk drives for flash data drives and upgrading oxygen regeneration units that ensure breathable air in case of a strike on the facility. Major Corey Seton, who's directing the deployment of New Tech, says the upgrades will provide the support needed to sustain operations to the end of the system's life cycle. Colonel Clarence Bud Anderson was promoted to the honorary rank of Brigadier General, honoring the 100-year-old World War II Triple Ace. Air Force Chief of Staff General C. Q. Brown Jr. presided over the ceremony. Anderson is the oldest living American fighter ace and the last American Triple Ace fighter from World War II. He flew 116 combat missions as a fighter pilot, shooting down 16 enemy aircraft. The title of ace is earned by pilots shooting down five enemies. That's your look around the Air Force.
