What's so special 782 00:34:05,060 --> 00:34:07,730 about this coming decade ? And how can 783 00:34:07,730 --> 00:34:10,990 we as a team get ready for it ? Well , 784 00:34:10,990 --> 00:34:13,101 if you haven't heard it's china china 785 00:34:13,101 --> 00:34:15,212 china , What's interesting about this 786 00:34:15,212 --> 00:34:17,530 decade is when we look at the the 787 00:34:17,540 --> 00:34:21,180 autocratic regimes , we look at Russia 788 00:34:21,190 --> 00:34:23,301 obviously , what's going on in Russia 789 00:34:23,301 --> 00:34:25,357 right now ? This is this is 10uous . 790 00:34:25,357 --> 00:34:28,020 We've not been in this space before . 791 00:34:28,030 --> 00:34:30,530 Right ? So our professionalism matters 792 00:34:31,060 --> 00:34:33,460 and and every move we make deterrence 793 00:34:33,460 --> 00:34:35,682 matters how we do it together . Right ? 794 00:34:35,682 --> 00:34:38,016 And that includes things like sanctions , 795 00:34:38,016 --> 00:34:40,750 which hurts you driving up fuel , Right ? 796 00:34:40,750 --> 00:34:42,972 What are we willing to put up with ? So 797 00:34:42,972 --> 00:34:45,194 that we can show Russia they can't just 798 00:34:45,194 --> 00:34:47,250 roll into some territory and take it 799 00:34:47,250 --> 00:34:49,360 over and kill tens of thousands of 800 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,700 civilians . But it's painful for us 801 00:34:52,700 --> 00:34:54,990 because , you know , good cost of goods 802 00:34:54,990 --> 00:34:57,240 are going up and you know , and just 803 00:34:57,240 --> 00:34:59,350 add to our woes . And then I think 804 00:34:59,350 --> 00:35:02,380 about china and and the various 805 00:35:02,380 --> 00:35:05,120 activities they've been part of , We 806 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,330 have to hold people to account , you 807 00:35:07,330 --> 00:35:09,550 know , international norms should mean 808 00:35:09,550 --> 00:35:11,780 something . So because we're seeing 809 00:35:11,780 --> 00:35:15,760 this rise of these two powers and 810 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,090 what they're doing and the coercion 811 00:35:18,090 --> 00:35:19,980 that's occurring from an economic 812 00:35:19,980 --> 00:35:22,036 standpoint . And the things I talked 813 00:35:22,036 --> 00:35:24,040 about right , that that's that was 814 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,150 unforeseen . I mean , maybe maybe 20 815 00:35:27,150 --> 00:35:29,094 years ago some people were talking 816 00:35:29,094 --> 00:35:31,330 about it . We figured that the more you 817 00:35:31,330 --> 00:35:33,441 integrate with democracy , the better 818 00:35:33,441 --> 00:35:35,052 you would get and you follow 819 00:35:35,052 --> 00:35:37,163 international norms . That is not the 820 00:35:37,163 --> 00:35:39,108 case , right ? So there's a lot at 821 00:35:39,108 --> 00:35:42,240 stake in this decisive decade . And we 822 00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:44,462 talk about making sure that we have the 823 00:35:44,462 --> 00:35:47,330 capability right now to see doubt in 824 00:35:47,330 --> 00:35:50,420 the mind of our adversaries , but they 825 00:35:50,420 --> 00:35:52,587 will be successful in anything whether 826 00:35:52,587 --> 00:35:56,520 that's china uh coercing their their 827 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,050 near neighbors or over fishing 828 00:36:00,060 --> 00:36:04,020 or it's dprk and testing of testing of 829 00:36:04,020 --> 00:36:07,440 weapons , right ? We have to band 830 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,880 together now more than ever across 831 00:36:10,890 --> 00:36:12,779 international with our allies and 832 00:36:12,779 --> 00:36:15,001 partners to ensure that we remain ready 833 00:36:15,001 --> 00:36:17,900 into the future and we can stand for 834 00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:20,840 international law . It's that big . 835 00:36:28,580 --> 00:36:30,747 And then we have a couple of questions 836 00:36:30,747 --> 00:36:33,580 that deal with cyber uh one uh talks 837 00:36:33,580 --> 00:36:36,590 about transparency and how it's it's 838 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,070 critical to be transparent . So we all 839 00:36:39,070 --> 00:36:41,126 know that we're on the same sheet of 840 00:36:41,126 --> 00:36:43,237 music logistically . But how do we do 841 00:36:43,237 --> 00:36:45,760 that with the cyber threat that these 842 00:36:45,770 --> 00:36:47,714 near peer competitors bring to the 843 00:36:47,714 --> 00:36:50,420 fight ? And a similar question , how do 844 00:36:50,420 --> 00:36:52,753 we need to change things like R . A . O . 845 00:36:52,753 --> 00:36:54,976 C . S . What does that look like in the 846 00:36:54,976 --> 00:36:57,670 future ? As much as I want to throw 847 00:36:57,670 --> 00:36:59,890 this question to Michelle Hayworth and 848 00:37:00,710 --> 00:37:03,460 I think . Yeah . Yeah . Yeah so like 849 00:37:03,460 --> 00:37:05,682 last year I was in command for 48 hours 850 00:37:05,682 --> 00:37:07,849 when I stood up here and I did say I'm 851 00:37:07,849 --> 00:37:09,793 gonna throw it to the folks in the 852 00:37:09,793 --> 00:37:11,793 front . But I know I'm not gonna do 853 00:37:11,793 --> 00:37:15,550 that to you on on cyber attacks , Right 854 00:37:15,550 --> 00:37:17,772 cyber protection . You know we're we're 855 00:37:17,772 --> 00:37:19,717 trying to in these work groups and 856 00:37:19,717 --> 00:37:21,939 again thanks to ted Ryback and the team 857 00:37:21,939 --> 00:37:24,161 for for the committee committees work . 858 00:37:24,161 --> 00:37:24,110 I'm trying to bring us together to 859 00:37:24,110 --> 00:37:27,310 understand and to share you know share 860 00:37:27,310 --> 00:37:29,600 best practices let you know what we're 861 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,433 trying to do to hook you up with 862 00:37:31,433 --> 00:37:33,489 resources like IT systems uh so that 863 00:37:33,489 --> 00:37:35,711 you understand what could be coming and 864 00:37:35,711 --> 00:37:38,110 what's the next steps for us to sort of 865 00:37:38,460 --> 00:37:40,793 share , what has happened to each other ? 866 00:37:40,793 --> 00:37:43,780 I know that maybe be a concerning topic , 867 00:37:43,790 --> 00:37:46,012 especially when your competitors in the 868 00:37:46,012 --> 00:37:48,780 commercial marketplace . But in the end 869 00:37:48,790 --> 00:37:50,846 there are adversaries they're really 870 00:37:50,846 --> 00:37:53,030 not interested in in our competition . 871 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,370 They're just interested in ensuring 872 00:37:55,380 --> 00:37:57,790 that you cannot mobilize the force and 873 00:37:57,790 --> 00:37:59,734 we cannot deploy the force forward 874 00:37:59,734 --> 00:38:01,568 because once we deploy the force 875 00:38:01,568 --> 00:38:03,623 forward then they're in trouble . So 876 00:38:03,623 --> 00:38:05,846 they don't care what company are they , 877 00:38:05,846 --> 00:38:07,957 they know how we they've watched us , 878 00:38:07,957 --> 00:38:10,012 They know how we how we mobilize and 879 00:38:10,012 --> 00:38:09,760 deploy and they're gonna go after 880 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,470 anybody's system that they can't to 881 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,790 delay , degrade or deny our ability to 882 00:38:15,790 --> 00:38:17,920 do that . So it behooves us to work 883 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,350 together to the maximum extent possible 884 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,087 to share the threats when you're being 885 00:38:23,087 --> 00:38:25,570 attacked to to work with this and to 886 00:38:25,570 --> 00:38:27,860 share that threat amongst other users , 887 00:38:27,860 --> 00:38:30,370 even if it's anonymous . So that other 888 00:38:30,370 --> 00:38:32,426 people to include the government can 889 00:38:32,426 --> 00:38:34,648 learn from who is program your networks 890 00:38:34,648 --> 00:38:37,150 uh and who's getting after uh you know , 891 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,960 who means harm to us . It's very 892 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,182 helpful for us to know and share that . 893 00:38:42,182 --> 00:38:44,349 So I think you see on the intelligence 894 00:38:44,349 --> 00:38:46,516 side that will share more and more and 895 00:38:46,516 --> 00:38:46,310 I think that's where we need to go . 896 00:38:46,310 --> 00:38:49,660 But that requires trust between 897 00:38:49,660 --> 00:38:51,438 everyone that requires security 898 00:38:51,438 --> 00:38:53,830 clearances and trust uh that we're not 899 00:38:53,830 --> 00:38:56,170 gonna steal the secrets of a company 900 00:38:56,170 --> 00:38:59,120 and that uh we're gonna be honest about 901 00:38:59,130 --> 00:39:01,241 about the level of attack and what it 902 00:39:01,241 --> 00:39:03,690 means to our nation . Uh And jeez I 903 00:39:03,690 --> 00:39:05,801 don't know what it means to the AOC . 904 00:39:05,801 --> 00:39:07,857 But I do know that when we did a day 905 00:39:07,857 --> 00:39:09,912 without the AOC , it was not a great 906 00:39:09,912 --> 00:39:11,801 day . Uh So this is about assured 907 00:39:11,801 --> 00:39:14,950 command control and having encrypted 908 00:39:14,950 --> 00:39:17,006 communications , which is what we're 909 00:39:17,006 --> 00:39:19,228 trying to do . Not our assets have that 910 00:39:19,228 --> 00:39:21,283 we're trying to do carry on kits for 911 00:39:21,283 --> 00:39:23,228 encrypted communications so we can 912 00:39:23,228 --> 00:39:26,260 maintain uh C two over assets around 913 00:39:26,260 --> 00:39:29,680 the world and we have to it has to be 914 00:39:29,690 --> 00:39:32,060 resilient as well . Right ? If they 915 00:39:32,060 --> 00:39:34,590 take out a certain satellite or a 916 00:39:34,590 --> 00:39:36,757 certain bandwidth , we need to be able 917 00:39:36,757 --> 00:39:38,812 to use something else , whether it's 918 00:39:38,812 --> 00:39:38,790 line aside or beyond line of sight so 919 00:39:38,790 --> 00:39:41,450 that we can maintain uh that connection 920 00:39:42,070 --> 00:39:45,610 because the name of the game will be 921 00:39:45,620 --> 00:39:49,550 recovering from disruption . You may 922 00:39:49,550 --> 00:39:51,772 see in your supply change , you can see 923 00:39:51,772 --> 00:39:53,883 it in your operations and daily , but 924 00:39:53,883 --> 00:39:55,828 we have to be able to recover from 925 00:39:55,828 --> 00:39:58,050 disruption that requires that that that 926 00:39:58,050 --> 00:40:00,161 secure C two and and likely this will 927 00:40:00,161 --> 00:40:02,440 be um at echelon are distributed C two 928 00:40:02,450 --> 00:40:04,730 capabilities that will have forward uh 929 00:40:04,740 --> 00:40:06,796 in case you lose connection with the 930 00:40:06,796 --> 00:40:09,580 AOC in this case on the airside . So we 931 00:40:09,580 --> 00:40:11,747 have to think through those constructs 932 00:40:11,747 --> 00:40:13,469 and make them available to our 933 00:40:13,469 --> 00:40:15,136 commercial partners . So they 934 00:40:15,136 --> 00:40:17,302 understand it can provide the feedback 935 00:40:17,302 --> 00:40:19,524 on how that would work should they lose 936 00:40:19,524 --> 00:40:20,913 C two ? Great question . 937 00:40:24,020 --> 00:40:26,140 Okay , good 938 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,153 ma'am , in your presentation you 939 00:40:31,153 --> 00:40:33,950 mentioned about new ideas that it's 940 00:40:33,950 --> 00:40:36,220 time to get on with it . Well , how do 941 00:40:36,220 --> 00:40:38,810 we all with all of our organizations , 942 00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:41,080 change the risk calculus with our 943 00:40:41,090 --> 00:40:43,630 people . So they will take those risks 944 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,870 and be innovative rather than just 945 00:40:45,870 --> 00:40:48,092 stuck where we are , you know , the age 946 00:40:48,092 --> 00:40:50,890 old question on change management . Uh 947 00:40:50,900 --> 00:40:53,730 and you know , I'm huge Simon Sinek fan 948 00:40:53,740 --> 00:40:56,920 start with why , you know , and ask 949 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,440 yourself deep down why why are we doing , 950 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,551 what does it mean ? What does it mean 951 00:41:01,551 --> 00:41:01,550 to me ? And in the end , that's why I 952 00:41:01,550 --> 00:41:03,772 got down to international law , right ? 953 00:41:03,780 --> 00:41:06,320 And our democracy , if you keep asking 954 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,431 why it's gonna delve too that to what 955 00:41:08,431 --> 00:41:10,640 it really means to be an american 956 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,751 citizen and to have the freedoms that 957 00:41:12,751 --> 00:41:16,560 we have here , Right ? So uh this is uh 958 00:41:16,570 --> 00:41:19,400 it's an imperative that that we are 959 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,620 part of an international system that 960 00:41:21,620 --> 00:41:23,740 works together to preserve 961 00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:26,110 international law , right ? If that 962 00:41:26,110 --> 00:41:28,230 starts to erode , then we think about 963 00:41:28,230 --> 00:41:30,650 legal legal challenges and , you know , 964 00:41:30,660 --> 00:41:32,790 every issues companies operating 965 00:41:32,790 --> 00:41:35,380 overseas , right ? All of that starts 966 00:41:35,380 --> 00:41:38,010 to crumble , right ? And then and then 967 00:41:38,010 --> 00:41:40,300 we're just in a catfight , right ? So 968 00:41:40,300 --> 00:41:43,320 it's super important that you link your 969 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,264 mission . So we start with at your 970 00:41:45,264 --> 00:41:47,153 formations that , you know , your 971 00:41:47,153 --> 00:41:49,376 flight level and your your office level 972 00:41:49,376 --> 00:41:51,960 and and down into the operations area . 973 00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:54,566 What you do matter ? You know , it's 974 00:41:54,566 --> 00:41:56,621 sloppy Ukraine , right ? What you're 975 00:41:56,621 --> 00:41:58,677 doing , you're working late , you're 976 00:41:58,677 --> 00:42:00,788 coming up with new ideas to move very 977 00:42:00,788 --> 00:42:02,843 hazardous equipment or getting , you 978 00:42:02,843 --> 00:42:05,010 know , ensuring that the truck drivers 979 00:42:05,010 --> 00:42:07,010 are safe and moving all that has we 980 00:42:07,010 --> 00:42:09,066 have not moved that much stuff . And 981 00:42:09,066 --> 00:42:11,121 that kind of pays , you know , maybe 982 00:42:11,121 --> 00:42:13,380 since World War two , uh so you know , 983 00:42:13,390 --> 00:42:16,420 getting not looking , taking the risk , 984 00:42:16,430 --> 00:42:19,810 what is a disciplined risk 985 00:42:19,810 --> 00:42:22,440 taking ? What are you allowing , what 986 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,820 are your empowering your subordinates 987 00:42:24,820 --> 00:42:27,270 to do within disciplined risk taking , 988 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,169 right discipline , meaning you've 989 00:42:29,169 --> 00:42:31,280 thought through it , the second order 990 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,113 effects could be you've had that 991 00:42:33,113 --> 00:42:33,040 discussion . You're willing to take the 992 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,700 risk because the risk of staying the 993 00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:39,033 same is worse than the risk of changing . 994 00:42:39,033 --> 00:42:41,144 As I said , some of our systems don't 995 00:42:41,144 --> 00:42:45,120 scale , uh , and our ability to keep a 996 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,610 pace of the logistics flow , it's not 997 00:42:48,610 --> 00:42:50,832 guaranteed . So what are we gonna do to 998 00:42:50,832 --> 00:42:52,832 guarantee that ?
