STRATCOM Commanders Reading List

(source) Professional development is essential to the successful execution of our mission - to provide global security for America. One key component to professional development is reading and critically thinking about military issues, history, and leadership. I (Gen Chilton, USAF) am pleased to announce the following selections for my 2010 Commander's Professional Reading List. It is my intent that this list will serve as a guide for all STRATCOM military and civilian personnel to enhance their professional knowledge.
