NORTHCOM/STRATCOM/TRANSCOM/11-15 March 2008






I visit three unified commands: one regional and two functional commands. The OBJECTIVE is to learn more about U.S. military command infrastructure.

NORTHCOM is the newest US combatant command until AFRICOM fully stands up later this year.

STRATCOM has recently undergone major revisions by absorbing parts of former SPACECOM.

TRANSCOM is responsible for moving military resources over land, sea, and air.

They are located in the “heartland” of the United States. MILAIR is planned for travel to each of these three locations. I traveling through Colorado Springs, Colorado; Omaha, Nebraska; and St. Louis, Missouri. And end with a reception at Boeing in St. Louis and a tour of the “Gateway Arch” to the West before return.
