Gen. John Hyten, Commander, U.S. Strategic Command

Gen. John Hyten, Commander, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), visited Vice Adm. Nancy Norton, Director, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and Commander, Joint Forces Headquarters - DoD Information Networks (JFHQ-DODIN) at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, Nov. 26 before speaking with the men and women of the Joint System Engineering and Integration Office (JSEIO). JSEIO conducts systems engineering to develop and implement an integrated National Leadership Command Capability (NLCC) communications and computer network capability using appropriately validated operations requirements. On October 3, 2018, the Secretary of Defense appointed USSTRATCOM Commander to be the Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) enterprise lead with increased responsibilities for operations, requirements, and systems engineering and integration, to include JSEIO. This new NC3 governance role requires close coordination and involvement of all stakeholders to ensure all NC3 capability requirements are identified and addressed, and technology and innovation opportunities are leveraged as the enterprise is modernized. General Hyten's goal is to remove stovepipes across the nuclear enterprise.
