00:00.510 --> 00:02.621
says Richard here , Commander U . S .

00:02.621 --> 00:04.843
Strategic Command . Great to be back in

00:04.843 --> 00:06.954
Huntsville . I think some of you know

00:06.954 --> 00:09.010
that I'm an Alabama native and it is

00:09.010 --> 00:11.010
always nice to get a chance to come

00:15.399 --> 00:17.950
a shout out to all the folks at J F C C

I M D . Uh S M D C as you heard me talk

00:21.660 --> 00:24.760
about at the symposium here last week ,

00:24.940 --> 00:28.550
we are going into uncharted waters . Uh ,

00:28.560 --> 00:31.370
we are having to deter to peer nuclear

00:31.370 --> 00:34.280
capable opponents at the same time who

00:34.280 --> 00:36.560
have to be to her differently . Missile

00:36.560 --> 00:39.640
defense is a key aspect of that , not

00:39.640 --> 00:41.880
only on behalf of us , but also on the

00:41.880 --> 00:44.580
part of our allies . Very proud of all

00:44.580 --> 00:46.580

00:48.747 --> 00:50.913

00:52.920 --> 00:54.930
leading the way maintaining mission

00:54.930 --> 00:56.986
readiness through Covid . And I'll ,

00:56.986 --> 00:59.041
just as one of many examples I could

00:59.041 --> 01:01.208
give you , the work is going on at the

01:01.208 --> 01:02.874
tech center and the diesel in

01:02.874 --> 01:04.986

01:04.986 --> 01:06.930
we're going to have to do if we're

01:06.930 --> 01:09.041
going to be able to defend the nation

01:09.041 --> 01:09.550
