Greetings.  I have had a very insightful and productive time at (AFCEA) WEST 2020.  There were senior officials present to provide the audience and media current information with regard to military activities throughout the globe. Strategy, readiness, technology, flexibility, and deterrence were common themes.  Also, a continued motif was the importance of a rapid, responsive, and integrative force using real time data in order to make informed decisions which might have world-wide impact.
