led by Colonel Jim Keane, United States Army.

69
00:03:05,170 --> 00:03:07,780
Today's ceremony is rooted in military tradition,

70
00:03:07,780 --> 00:03:10,150
dating back to the 18th century, under the reign

71
00:03:10,150 --> 00:03:12,443
of King Frederick the Great of Prussia.

00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:15,120
During this time, organizational flags

73
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,440
were developed with colors and symbols

74
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,783
unique to each unit.

75
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,260
When the change of command took place,

76
00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:23,350
the outgoing Commander passed the flag

77
00:03:23,530 --> 00:03:26,193
to the individual assuming command.

78
00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:28,130
This was done in front of the unit,

79
00:03:28,130 --> 00:03:31,140
so that all could witness their new leader

80
00:03:31,150 --> 00:03:33,493
assuming this leadership position.

81
00:03:33,890 --> 00:03:37,090
Whoever controlled the flag, also controlled

82
00:03:37,090 --> 00:03:39,583
the troops and their allegiance.

83
00:03:39,890 --> 00:03:42,170
This symbolic tradition has continued

84
00:03:42,370 --> 00:03:44,283

85

89
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,080

90
00:04:01,150 --> 00:04:04,813

00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,933

00:13:14,620 --> 00:13:18,300
Our prayer, is that through US Cyber Comms elevation

189
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:20,693
as the newest unified combat command,

190
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,040
all will know us as a friend to unite with

191
00:13:24,350 --> 00:13:28,560
or as a fearless opponent who's readiness

192
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,823
is steadfast and determination is unmatched.

193
00:13:33,130 --> 00:13:37,080
As this command and support agency

194
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,483
stands in the gap to defend our nation,

195
00:13:39,690 --> 00:13:42,623
grant all associated with us diligence,

196
00:13:42,660 --> 00:13:44,863
faithfulness, and teachability.

197
00:13:45,470 --> 00:13:48,103
In your eternal name, we pray, Amen.

198
00:13:51,230 --> 00:13:53,750
- Thank you Sergeant First Class White and Chaplain Webber.

199
00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:55,803
Ladies and Gentlemen, please be seated.

200
00:13:58,270 --> 00:13:59,660

202
00:14:01,770 --> 00:14:04,743
Mrs. Rogers is receiving a bouquet of red roses.

203
00:14:05,210 --> 00:14:07,200
Mrs. Rogers roses are in full bloom

204
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,540
symbolizing the beauty and fulfillment

205
00:14:09,550 --> 00:14:11,563
of her time with us.

00:14:14,171 --> 00:14:16,421
(applause)

207
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,790
Mrs. Nakasone is receiving a bouquet of yellow roses.

208
00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:28,740
Yellow is the color of a new beginning.

National Security Agency, Central Security Service.

211
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,330

(applause)

215
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:56,730
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Honorable Ben Cardin,

216
00:14:56,730 --> 00:14:58,313
Senator from Maryland.

217
00:14:59,788 --> 00:15:02,038
(applause)

218
00:15:05,610 --> 00:15:10,253
- Secretary Shannon, Director Coats, Admiral Rogers,

219
00:15:10,260 --> 00:15:13,840
General Nakasone, it's really a pleasure

00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,090
for me to be here to represent the Congress

of the United States to acknowledge

222
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,410
this extraordinary moment.

223
00:15:21,410 --> 00:15:23,080
I'm pleased to be here with my colleague,

224
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,530
Congressman Sarbanes and representing

225
00:15:26,530 --> 00:15:30,023
the American people on this historic moment.

226
00:15:30,730 --> 00:15:32,960
In just a few weeks, where we are right now

227
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,313
is gonna be the Cyber epicenter of the world.

228
00:15:38,470 --> 00:15:41,960
What's gonna happen here is gonna be remarkable,

229
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,563
incredible, and will help keep not only America safer,

230
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:48,443
but our world safer.

231
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,010
And first and foremost, I wanna thank

232
00:15:51,010 --> 00:15:53,980
the men and women who are devoting their life

233
00:15:54,580 --> 00:15:57,890
to making America safe, that wear the uniform

234
00:15:57,890 --> 00:16:01,420
of our nation and serve in the security agencies

235
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,463
that make this possible.

236
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:06,233
Thank you for your incredible service.

237
00:16:06,780 --> 00:16:09,383
I'm also here to brag a little bit about Maryland.

238
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,943
Because Cyber Command is located in Maryland.

239
00:16:14,030 --> 00:16:15,573
NSA is in Maryland.

240
00:16:15,890 --> 00:16:19,490
We have the expertise here, we are proud

241
00:16:19,490 --> 00:16:21,773
of what is happening throughout our state.

242
00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:24,750
I serve on the Naval Academy Board of Visitors.

243
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:27,170
We're very proud of the Cyber facility being

244
00:16:27,170 --> 00:16:30,713
constructed there, the state of the art in the world.

245
00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:32,760
We're proud the work done at NIST,

246
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,260
the Cyber Excellence Center with partnership

247
00:16:36,260 --> 00:16:37,730
with Montgomery County, we're proud

248
00:16:37,730 --> 00:16:40,180
of the University of Maryland and it's commitment

249
00:16:40,180 --> 00:16:42,800
to Cyber Excellence, we're proud of what's done

250
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,873
at the Applied Physics Lab in Hopkins,

251
00:16:44,890 --> 00:16:46,890
in other words, we're proud of Maryland,

252
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,130
and I'm the Senator for Maryland,

253
00:16:49,380 --> 00:16:51,730
so I'm gonna brag a little bit about our state.

254
00:16:52,460 --> 00:16:54,663
General Nakasone, I just want you to know,

255
00:16:54,803 --> 00:16:58,463
that team Maryland, indeed, the entire nation,

256
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,080
is behind you and supports your mission

257
00:17:01,260 --> 00:17:04,593
that will take place in this incredible facility,

258
00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:08,090
and to Admiral Rogers, thank you for a job

259
00:17:08,090 --> 00:17:11,150
very, very well done, you have devoted your life

260
00:17:11,370 --> 00:17:15,784
to public service and we salute you to a job well done.

261
00:17:15,784 --> 00:17:18,034
(applause)

262
00:17:22,269 --> 00:17:24,186
Congratulations to all.

263
00:17:24,413 --> 00:17:26,663
(applause)

264
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,023
- Thank you Senator Cardin.

265
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,460
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Honorable Robert Joyce,

266
00:17:35,460 --> 00:17:37,403
Special Assistant to the President,

267
00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:40,793
and Cyber Security Coordinator National Security Staff.

268
00:17:41,147 --> 00:17:43,397
(applause)

269
00:17:45,740 --> 00:17:47,040
- Thank you Admiral White.

270
00:17:47,390 --> 00:17:48,793
It's a pleasure to be here.

271
00:17:48,990 --> 00:17:51,853
Growing up as part of the NSA and Cyber Com family,

272
00:17:52,030 --> 00:17:54,290
to be able to come out and represent the White House

273
00:17:54,290 --> 00:17:56,570
at such an occasion is just an honor

274
00:17:57,430 --> 00:18:00,470
and I'd really like to reinforce the way

275
00:18:00,470 --> 00:18:03,490
the nation has recognized that cyberspace

276
00:18:03,490 --> 00:18:07,000
is now an element, key and vital, to our security

277
00:18:07,010 --> 00:18:09,860
as well as our properity and for those reasons,

278
00:18:09,860 --> 00:18:11,550
we've made the investment in things

279
00:18:11,550 --> 00:18:15,570
like the facilities here, the people that are coming

280
00:18:15,570 --> 00:18:19,750
to both the military in Cyber Command and NSA

281
00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:21,697
and the civilians that serve at NSA.

282
00:18:22,891 --> 00:18:27,240
The continued focus on that importance

283
00:18:27,397 --> 00:18:30,830
was shown as the President elevated Cyber Command

284
00:18:30,830 --> 00:18:32,933
to a Unified Combatant Command last year.

285
00:18:33,888 --> 00:18:37,800
I can't skip this occasion without thanking

286
00:18:38,020 --> 00:18:39,800
Admiral Rogers for having the vision

287
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,540
and the leadership to drive us to this historic moment

288
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,420
and I'd really like to welcome General Nakasone

289
00:18:46,420 --> 00:18:49,207
as he takes the helm of both Cyber Command

290
00:18:49,207 --> 00:18:53,330
and NSA where he's really got the expertise

291
00:18:53,330 --> 00:18:56,160
to understand the mission and the focus on the people

292
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,710
who will fill the center and do those missions

293
00:18:58,710 --> 00:19:01,990
and bring us to a place where we can have that peace,

294
00:19:01,990 --> 00:19:04,550
safety, and prosperity through cyberspace.

295
00:19:04,550 --> 00:19:05,753
So thank you all.

296
00:19:06,931 --> 00:19:09,181
(applause)

297
00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:15,363
- Thank you Mr. Joyce.

298
00:19:15,930 --> 00:19:18,430
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Honorable Patrick M. Shanahan,

299
00:19:18,430 --> 00:19:20,343
Deputy Secretary of Defense.

300
00:19:20,774 --> 00:19:23,024
(applause)

301
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:28,170
Well good afternoon everyone, how are we?

302
00:19:28,380 --> 00:19:29,313
Good, good.

303
00:19:30,426 --> 00:19:34,030
I put together some formal remarks, Admiral,

304
00:19:34,030 --> 00:19:36,330
cause I have to get a few things off my chest.

305
00:19:36,566 --> 00:19:38,440
(laughing)

306
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,090
This will be fun and we've introduced

307
00:19:41,090 --> 00:19:43,150
so many wonderful people, I just would like

308
00:19:43,150 --> 00:19:45,010
maybe a special call out to the families.

309
00:19:45,010 --> 00:19:46,690
It's so wonderful to have you here

310
00:19:46,690 --> 00:19:49,033
and this is a really special time.

311
00:19:49,423 --> 00:19:51,673
(applause)

312
00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:58,710
Thank you all for being here to honor

313
00:19:58,710 --> 00:20:01,373
Admiral Rogers four year tenure.

314
00:20:01,990 --> 00:20:04,810
Transferred command to General Nakasone

315
00:20:04,810 --> 00:20:08,520
and elevate Cyber Comm to full Unified Combatant

316
00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:12,083
Command Status, standing up our 10th Co Comm,

317
00:20:12,660 --> 00:20:17,660
first new addition since Afri Comm began operations in 2007.

318
00:20:19,070 --> 00:20:21,990
For more than 1,000 years, militaries have vied

319
00:20:22,250 --> 00:20:24,143
for dominance on land and sea.

320
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:28,120
For the last 100 years, we have dominated

321
00:20:28,330 --> 00:20:32,593
in the air, today we are at the dawn of a new era.

322
00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:36,823
Facing the reality of wars changing character.

323
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,850
The emergence of cyberspace and outer space

324
00:20:40,990 --> 00:20:43,483
as contested war fighting domains,

325
00:20:44,330 --> 00:20:47,983
equal in importance with land, sea and air.

326
00:20:49,470 --> 00:20:52,653
Cyberspace is not bound by geography.

327
00:20:53,450 --> 00:20:55,830
It is not bound by the physical prowess

328
00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:57,093
of our adversaries.

329
00:20:58,180 --> 00:21:01,810
The next 10 years will look significantly different

330
00:21:01,810 --> 00:21:06,683
than the last 10, more than any of us likely can imagine.

331
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,540
The Department of Defense will ensure our military

332
00:21:10,540 --> 00:21:14,260
is ready to fight and win against any adversary

333
00:21:14,710 --> 00:21:16,753
across every domain.

334
00:21:17,660 --> 00:21:21,320
Dominating the cyber domain at the speed of relevance

335
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,163
and maintaining our competitive advantage.

336
00:21:25,060 --> 00:21:29,570
Admiral Rogers, over four years, you anticipated

337
00:21:29,570 --> 00:21:33,260
the demands of the cyber domain before they had

338
00:21:33,260 --> 00:21:34,823
been full articulated.

339
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,480
Your efforts informed this year's

340
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,580
National Defense Strategy, a road map for America's military

341
00:21:41,580 --> 00:21:45,473
that takes a clear eyed look at the world as it is,

342
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,280
recognizing cyberspace as a war fighting domain

343
00:21:50,210 --> 00:21:53,670
and our need to innovatively shape, expand,

344
00:21:53,670 --> 00:21:55,803
and dominate the competitive space.

345
00:21:57,030 --> 00:22:00,200
In a time of renewed great power competition,

346
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,600
Nations as different as Russia and China

347
00:22:03,290 --> 00:22:07,560
seek to leverage cyberspace and build asymmetric

348
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,980
advantage over our military and terrorists use

349
00:22:10,980 --> 00:22:14,200
the cyber domain to spread their poisonous

350
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,803
ideology of hate.

351
00:22:17,050 --> 00:22:19,600
In this environment, there can be no complacency

352
00:22:20,620 --> 00:22:23,700
as we field lethal resilient and adaptable

353
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:26,163
joint force capable of defending the nation.

354
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,620
Admiral Rogers, you have tackled an explosion

355
00:22:29,620 --> 00:22:32,913
of threats, and explosion of technology,

356
00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:36,410
and explosions in demand and capacity

357
00:22:37,610 --> 00:22:40,993
all with little history or policy precedent to draw upon.

358
00:22:41,950 --> 00:22:44,080
You have worked closely with our services

359
00:22:44,370 --> 00:22:46,560
to keep our cyber mission force on track

360
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,913
to reach it's full operational capability.

361
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:53,230
You have grown our defensive capabilities

362
00:22:53,230 --> 00:22:56,510
to protect DOD assets and offensive capabilities

363
00:22:56,980 --> 00:22:59,023
to take the fight to our adversaries.

364
00:22:59,690 --> 00:23:02,490
To include standing up joint force task force

365
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,363
areas to challenge Isis alongside our partners,

366
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:10,220
illustrating our ability to integrate cyber operations

367
00:23:10,220 --> 00:23:12,383
in a broader military campaign.

368
00:23:13,820 --> 00:23:15,860
You leave a strong foundation behind

369
00:23:15,860 --> 00:23:16,913
as your legacy.

370
00:23:18,510 --> 00:23:21,930
Today's elevation of Cyber Comm is an acknowledgement

371
00:23:21,930 --> 00:23:26,880
that this new war fighting domain has come of age

372
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,760
as well as a tangible indicator of the Department's

373
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,913
investment in our cyber capabilities.

374
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,950
Admiral, or Mike, thank you for nearly 37 years

375
00:23:39,950 --> 00:23:42,100
of service upholding our constitution

376
00:23:42,750 --> 00:23:44,593
and defending the American people,

377
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,713
a gift we cannot repay, a gift we will treasure.

378
00:23:50,862 --> 00:23:53,112
(applause)

379
00:24:01,378 --> 00:24:03,682
Thank you for your dedication to this team.

380
00:24:03,690 --> 00:24:06,520
One that lives up to the symbolism of the eagle

381
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,963
on the Cyber Comm and NSA seals.

382
00:24:09,610 --> 00:24:13,190
Your expertise and skill pierce the darkness

383
00:24:13,260 --> 00:24:15,313
and allow us to remain vigilant.

384
00:24:16,610 --> 00:24:18,163
I also wanna thank your family.

385
00:24:18,930 --> 00:24:22,050
Dana, your wife, your kids, Justin, Patrick,

386
00:24:22,050 --> 00:24:26,973
I know John is here, and Dana's parents, Bud and Mary.

387
00:24:28,170 --> 00:24:30,513
Dana, Mike gets to come home now.

388
00:24:31,780 --> 00:24:33,590
We appreciate your patience and willingness

389
00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:36,633
to share him with us, he's all yours.

390
00:24:37,521 --> 00:24:39,360
(laughing)

391
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:40,943
- [Mike] Careful what you wish for.

392
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,660
(laughing)

393
00:24:42,660 --> 00:24:46,180
- Mike, please go take care of your lovely bride

394
00:24:46,180 --> 00:24:47,343
and wonderful family.

395
00:24:47,730 --> 00:24:49,480
We will take care of the team here.

396
00:24:50,875 --> 00:24:53,125
(applause)

397
00:25:00,670 --> 00:25:02,820
There's no going back now General Nakasone.

398
00:25:03,340 --> 00:25:04,573
Here we go, okay.

399
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,350
General Nakasone, today you become the primary

400
00:25:07,350 --> 00:25:09,553
guardian of our nation's cyber domain.

401
00:25:10,550 --> 00:25:12,770
Admiral Rogers has built capability

402
00:25:13,010 --> 00:25:17,140
and integration, your challenge is to build scale

403
00:25:17,910 --> 00:25:20,903
and to strengthen our arsenal of cyber weapons,

404
00:25:21,260 --> 00:25:24,053
cyber shields, and cyber warriors.

405
00:25:25,220 --> 00:25:29,360
With 31 years of preparation under your belt,

406
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:31,900
including four tours here, one at Cyber Comm

407
00:25:31,900 --> 00:25:35,180
and three at NSA, you bring a wealth

408
00:25:35,180 --> 00:25:38,220
of practical experience as well as

409
00:25:38,220 --> 00:25:42,283
the proven ability to generate engagement and teamwork.

410
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,230
Thank you for your contributions in defense

411
00:25:45,230 --> 00:25:48,070
of this nation and your service, and thank you

412
00:25:48,070 --> 00:25:49,883
for taking this assignment.

413
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,950
Now, if it's okay, can I take a few minutes

414
00:25:53,950 --> 00:25:55,225
and talk to your family?

415
00:25:55,225 --> 00:25:56,058
- [General Nakasone] Please.

416
00:25:56,058 --> 00:25:56,963
- Okay, all right, good.

417
00:25:57,180 --> 00:26:01,613
Susan, this is no change of command for you.

418
00:26:02,380 --> 00:26:04,843
I know you've been in command all along.

419
00:26:05,186 --> 00:26:07,269
(laughing)

420
00:26:07,610 --> 00:26:10,090
I appreciate you signing up for this tour of duty

421
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,773
and enabling your husband's success,

422
00:26:13,020 --> 00:26:14,373
thus protecting our nation.

423
00:26:16,073 --> 00:26:19,550
To your wonderful children, Sarah, Daniel,

424
00:26:19,550 --> 00:26:22,930
David, and Joseph, I ask you to support your father

425
00:26:22,930 --> 00:26:26,220
like he supports you when you're tackling something

426
00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:27,223
hard at school.

427
00:26:28,610 --> 00:26:31,083
Send your dad notes of encouragement.

428
00:26:31,810 --> 00:26:33,693
Give him a call, send him a text.

429
00:26:33,870 --> 00:26:35,003
Wash his car.

430
00:26:35,513 --> 00:26:37,410
(laughing)

431
00:26:37,410 --> 00:26:39,890
Providing him reminders of team Nakasone

432
00:26:39,890 --> 00:26:42,683
will help him keep his batteries charged.

433
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,700
And also like to recognize and thank

434
00:26:47,190 --> 00:26:51,420
Edwin and Mary, General Nakasone's parents

435
00:26:51,420 --> 00:26:54,683
who've come out from Saint Paul, Minnesota.

436
00:26:55,916 --> 00:26:58,166
(applause)

437
00:27:05,895 --> 00:27:08,060
I asked General Nakasone, I said well,

438
00:27:08,060 --> 00:27:09,183
how old's your dad?

439
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,693
And he said 91.

440
00:27:13,730 --> 00:27:16,613
I said well, does he still drive?

441
00:27:18,063 --> 00:27:20,440
And General Nakasone said yeah he went out

442
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:21,990
and bought a new car this year.

443
00:27:22,531 --> 00:27:24,614
(laughing)

444
00:27:24,703 --> 00:27:26,253
We're so proud of your son.

445
00:27:26,990 --> 00:27:28,880
Can you believe that he would grow up

446
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,223
to defend the nation and be this fearless warrior?

447
00:27:32,890 --> 00:27:35,373
Amazing, so thank you, thank you.

448
00:27:37,539 --> 00:27:39,789
(applause)

449
00:27:45,531 --> 00:27:49,948
And to the folks from Cyber Comm and NSA communities.

450
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,910
You are at the cutting edge of the domain

451
00:27:52,910 --> 00:27:54,853
that will define the next century.

452
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,203
I'll speak frankly.

453
00:27:57,770 --> 00:27:59,810
General Nakasone's success depends

454
00:27:59,810 --> 00:28:03,793
on your success, embrace his leadership.

455
00:28:04,830 --> 00:28:07,163
Fuel his passion for the job.

456
00:28:07,970 --> 00:28:09,663
Feed his spirit.

457
00:28:10,460 --> 00:28:13,353
Together you will create something magical.

458
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,860
So in closing, General Nakasone,

459
00:28:16,860 --> 00:28:19,350
I'd like to share with you one of the favorite

460
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:21,700
quotes my father shared with me and one that

461
00:28:22,730 --> 00:28:27,250
I've read many, many times in difficult jobs.

462
00:28:27,250 --> 00:28:29,970
I consider it the serenity prayer

463
00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:31,660
of difficult jobs and many of you

464
00:28:31,660 --> 00:28:35,090
have heard this quote before from Theodore Roosevelt,

465
00:28:35,090 --> 00:28:37,493
but I think it's appropriate.

466
00:28:38,830 --> 00:28:40,410
It is not the critic who counts,

467
00:28:40,410 --> 00:28:43,890
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles

468
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,053
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

469
00:28:49,070 --> 00:28:52,923
The credit belongs to the man who's actually in the arena.

470
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:57,713
Who's face is marred by dust and sweat and blood.

471
00:28:58,340 --> 00:29:02,770
Who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes up short

472
00:29:02,770 --> 00:29:07,030
again and again, because there is no effort without err

473
00:29:07,850 --> 00:29:11,320
and shortcoming, but who does actually strive

474
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,870
to do the deeds, who knows great enthusiasms,

475
00:29:14,870 --> 00:29:18,180
the great devotions, who spins himself

476
00:29:18,180 --> 00:29:22,340
in a worthy cause, who, at the best knows,

477
00:29:22,340 --> 00:29:24,680
in the end the triumph of high achievement

478
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,570
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails

479
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,430
while daring greatly so that his place shall never be

480
00:29:33,430 --> 00:29:36,530
with those cold and timid souls who neither know

481
00:29:36,530 --> 00:29:38,693
victory nor defeat.

482
00:29:39,710 --> 00:29:42,880
General Nakasone, I can think of no better man

483
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,413
to have in the arena than you.

484
00:29:45,220 --> 00:29:46,923
This will not be an easy job.

485
00:29:47,580 --> 00:29:48,860
But I look forward to working with you

486
00:29:48,860 --> 00:29:51,163
and witnessing all you will accomplish.

487
00:29:51,670 --> 00:29:54,003
God speed and God bless America.

488
00:29:54,700 --> 00:29:56,950
(applause)

489
00:30:07,821 --> 00:30:09,400
- Thank you Mr. Deputy Secretary.

490
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,980
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Honorable Daniel R. Coats,

491
00:30:11,980 --> 00:30:13,773
Director of National Intelligence.

492
00:30:14,144 --> 00:30:16,394
(applause)

493
00:30:22,218 --> 00:30:24,620
- Well thank you very much for the honor to be here

494
00:30:24,620 --> 00:30:26,770
and representing the intelligence community

495
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,740
on this momentous and important day

496
00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:34,610
when we see the stand up of a Cyber Command

497
00:30:35,980 --> 00:30:40,060
and also pay tribute to a leader who has given

498
00:30:40,060 --> 00:30:43,893
his career and his life to service for this country.

499
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,600
I've had the pleasure and the honor

500
00:30:49,250 --> 00:30:53,323
of working with Admiral Rogers,

501
00:30:53,850 --> 00:30:56,370
as a Senator sitting on the Dias

502
00:30:56,940 --> 00:30:58,820
looking down and asking, trying to ask

503
00:30:58,820 --> 00:31:01,503
tough question, he had the answer to every one of them.

504
00:31:01,930 --> 00:31:03,753
And then now in my current role,

505
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,030
sitting down below the dias as my former

506
00:31:07,030 --> 00:31:09,813
Senators ask those tough questions of me.

507
00:31:10,180 --> 00:31:11,810
Trust me, it's much better to be up there

508
00:31:11,810 --> 00:31:14,673
looking down, than down there looking up.

509
00:31:14,980 --> 00:31:16,370
I had one thing that saved me,

510
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,763
because Mike Rogers was sitting next to me.

511
00:31:19,260 --> 00:31:20,810
I can't tell you how many times

512
00:31:20,810 --> 00:31:22,760
in a tough question related to NSA

513
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,770
or a number of cyber issues or technical issues

514
00:31:25,770 --> 00:31:30,000
that are pretty complicated, as the question

515
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,960
was being asked and then finished, you could probably

516
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,990
see me, if it was broadcast, oh Mike

517
00:31:34,990 --> 00:31:36,290
you take this one will ya?

518
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:38,760
I can't tell ya how many times I said

519
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,260
Mike you better take this one.

520
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,060
We worked together on a number of issues,

521
00:31:43,060 --> 00:31:46,000
none more important than the reauthorization

522
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:48,400
of the legislation that would provide us

523
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,020
access to find out what our foreign adversaries

524
00:31:52,020 --> 00:31:54,743
and enemies who were plotting against us.

525
00:31:55,452 --> 00:31:58,880
Virtually all that we got that was significant,

526
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,930
some was contributed by a number of agencies

527
00:32:00,930 --> 00:32:03,363
but none more so than NSA.

528
00:32:03,830 --> 00:32:06,860
Mike had to sail through some tough waters

529
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,713
and he did it as only a leader can do it.

530
00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:15,390
He led this agency back from a difficult situation

531
00:32:15,940 --> 00:32:19,250
to an absolutely essential agency doing tremendous

532
00:32:19,250 --> 00:32:22,220
work and providing the kind of intelligence

533
00:32:22,220 --> 00:32:25,093
that we need in order to keep our people safe.

534
00:32:25,260 --> 00:32:27,860
Mike, I can't thank you enough for your leadership,

535
00:32:27,860 --> 00:32:31,173
for all you've gone through, you're a tenacious worker,

536
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,750
is that correct, Dana, you're gonna have to try

537
00:32:35,750 --> 00:32:38,663
to slow him down, I don't know how you're gonna do that.

538
00:32:39,380 --> 00:32:40,663
We weren't able to do it.

539
00:32:42,580 --> 00:32:45,413
But anyway, we are so grateful for your leadership.

540
00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:49,120
I'm so honored to have served with you

541
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,540
and we wish you just nothing but the best

542
00:32:52,810 --> 00:32:54,890
in the future and do try to slow down

543
00:32:54,890 --> 00:32:55,763
a little bit.

544
00:32:56,790 --> 00:32:59,093
General Nakasone, congratulations to you.

545
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,300
What an honor to be the first person

546
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:06,220
to lead a new command, one that is absolutely essential

547
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,063
in terms of how we protect our country.

548
00:33:10,004 --> 00:33:12,740
The challenge is large and is growing

549
00:33:12,740 --> 00:33:14,410
as we were talking earlier,

550
00:33:14,410 --> 00:33:16,983
expanding at a rapid pace.

551
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,460
That's going to be very demanding for you

552
00:33:20,460 --> 00:33:24,490
and Susan and family, but you have been

553
00:33:25,170 --> 00:33:28,590
selected by your peers because they are confident

554
00:33:29,140 --> 00:33:34,140
in your ability to take the time from Admiral Rogers

555
00:33:34,860 --> 00:33:37,280
and move into the next generation here

556
00:33:37,380 --> 00:33:41,110
of how we deal with cyber, so we wish you well

557
00:33:41,110 --> 00:33:43,943
and God speed as you move forward into that.

558
00:33:44,570 --> 00:33:47,550
The Director of O&B wanted me to remind you

559
00:33:47,820 --> 00:33:50,340
that even though you are double hatted

560
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,850
and serving two 24/7 jobs, you're only

561
00:33:54,850 --> 00:33:55,933
gonna get one salary.

562
00:33:57,046 --> 00:33:59,296
(laughing)

563
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,153
Sorry.

564
00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:09,630
In any event, I think everyone in this room

565
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,830
feels honored to be here today to say

566
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,870
farewell, good bye, and well done faithful servant

567
00:34:18,230 --> 00:34:20,810
to Mike, and General to congratulate you

568
00:34:20,810 --> 00:34:22,830
and say we're gonna be standing with you

569
00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:26,700
all the way through as we move into this next chapter

570
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:30,553
of dealing with cyber issues, serving,

571
00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:36,570
leading the NSA and I just can't tell you

572
00:34:36,570 --> 00:34:41,570
how much the country appreciates the former leadership

573
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,703
and will appreciate the leadership to come.

574
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,633
So welcome, congratulations.

575
00:34:47,830 --> 00:34:50,803
Admiral Rogers, thank you for your dedicated service.

576
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,530
(applause)

577
00:35:04,429 --> 00:35:05,920
- Thank you Director Coats.

578
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,070
Ladies and Gentlemen, Admiral Michael S Rogers,

579
00:35:09,070 --> 00:35:13,093
United States Navy, Commander, United States Cyber Command,

580
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,500
Director, National Security Agency and Chief

581
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,263
Central Security Service.

582
00:35:18,980 --> 00:35:21,160
(applause)

583
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,647
- More titles, more titles.

584
00:35:25,537 --> 00:35:26,370
Woo hoo.

585
00:35:28,050 --> 00:35:29,550
Please, thank you all very, very much.

586
00:35:29,550 --> 00:35:31,100
Let me be up front with you.

587
00:35:31,100 --> 00:35:32,130
If I get a little emotional

588
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:36,253
it's cause, quite frankly, I'm just overwhelmed with this.

589
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:39,390
I think back first, I wanna say, add my thanks

590
00:35:39,390 --> 00:35:41,640
to those who have been previously recognized.

591
00:35:42,150 --> 00:35:45,983
I also wanna thank those who made this day possible.

592
00:35:46,210 --> 00:35:49,513
Not just this ceremony, for the band, the color guard,

593
00:35:50,250 --> 00:35:53,530
to the great sideboys that you saw, to protocol,

594
00:35:53,530 --> 00:35:55,753
to the men and women that put all this together.

595
00:35:56,610 --> 00:35:58,000
But I wanna thank those men and women

596
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,763
years ago who aren't here today, who had this vision.

597
00:36:03,770 --> 00:36:06,170
The idea and the power of thought

598
00:36:06,770 --> 00:36:09,040
is something that is incredibly powerful

599
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,983
and this room is a reflection, this building,

600
00:36:12,756 --> 00:36:14,373
is a reflection of that power.

601
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,673
I also wanna very publicly thank Dana.

602
00:36:20,020 --> 00:36:23,233
As you've heard, I pride myself on driving myself.

603
00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:26,780
When your grandfather was a coal miner

604
00:36:26,780 --> 00:36:28,463
who went through Ellis Island,

605
00:36:28,660 --> 00:36:30,713
came to the United States as an immigrant,

606
00:36:30,713 --> 00:36:32,800
when your father worked, never went to college

607
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,410
and worked four jobs as a kid when you were growing up,

608
00:36:35,410 --> 00:36:37,913
you know the power of hard work.

609
00:36:38,290 --> 00:36:40,683
And I've embraced that idea for my family.

610
00:36:40,780 --> 00:36:42,230
Father, I thank you for that.

611
00:36:42,750 --> 00:36:44,300
Dana has had to live with this.

612
00:36:44,704 --> 00:36:46,954
(laughing)

613
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,340
But the thing that kept me going was the fact

614
00:36:49,340 --> 00:36:51,983
that I knew I always had somebody at home who loved me.

615
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:53,840
I may not have been able to give her the time

616
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,770
and attention that she deserved, many times

617
00:36:55,770 --> 00:36:58,323
she'd be asleep and I would just pat her.

618
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,303
But Dana, I can't thank you enough.

619
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,420
But Dana is representative of the families

620
00:37:05,420 --> 00:37:08,360
of this nation that serve, not just those military

621
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,710
members and civilians at Cyber Command and NSA,

622
00:37:11,010 --> 00:37:12,660
but the families that power them.

623
00:37:13,020 --> 00:37:15,820
If you are the family member of somebody

624
00:37:15,820 --> 00:37:18,050
who's on team Cyber Command or team NSA,

625
00:37:18,050 --> 00:37:19,060
or you're the family member

626
00:37:19,060 --> 00:37:21,700
of somebody who is serving and has served

627
00:37:21,780 --> 00:37:23,470
in the Department of Defense, will you please

628
00:37:23,470 --> 00:37:24,463
stand for a minute?

629
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,400
Come on there's a lot more of you out there.

630
00:37:29,899 --> 00:37:32,149
(applause)

631
00:37:39,646 --> 00:37:40,970
I just wanna say thank you.

632
00:37:40,970 --> 00:37:42,410
Now one of the reasons I'm overwhelmed

633
00:37:42,410 --> 00:37:44,110
is I think back to four years ago.

634
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,490
General Alexander retired one week,

635
00:37:46,490 --> 00:37:48,233
I was not confirmed in time.

636
00:37:48,670 --> 00:37:50,520
Had a great party that weekend with my family,

637
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,500
they came in but said hey apologize,

638
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:54,600
it doesn't look like it's coming together.

639
00:37:55,610 --> 00:37:57,520
The next week, typical, on a Monday night

640
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,040
get confirmed, hey Rogers you gotta

641
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,217
turn over, you get out at Fleet Cyber

642
00:38:00,217 --> 00:38:03,867
and you gotta get over to Cyber Command at NSA.

643
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:06,523
So literally here at Ft. Meade, Ops three,

644
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,223
turn over my own responsibilities,

645
00:38:09,670 --> 00:38:11,460
grab my briefcase, get in my Honda Civic,

646
00:38:11,460 --> 00:38:15,030
drive the quarter mile over to Ops two B,

647
00:38:15,030 --> 00:38:16,850
walk up and there's the Deputy Director

648
00:38:16,850 --> 00:38:19,480
and there's the Deputy Commander at Cyber Command

649
00:38:19,810 --> 00:38:21,970
and the three of us just shake hands

650
00:38:22,190 --> 00:38:23,330
and that's our turn over.

651
00:38:23,330 --> 00:38:24,990
Hey, let's strap this on and let's see

652
00:38:24,990 --> 00:38:25,823
where we can go.

653
00:38:26,230 --> 00:38:27,760
And I look in this room and I see all of you

654
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,860
and I think wow, have we come a long way

655
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,363
in four years.

656
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,670
To the men and women of Cyber Command

657
00:38:34,670 --> 00:38:37,363
and not just Cyber Command, the components,

658
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,210
our teammates, our partners, those who power

659
00:38:40,210 --> 00:38:42,163
this Cyber enterprise.

660
00:38:43,570 --> 00:38:45,060
I wanna say thank you for what you've done

661
00:38:45,060 --> 00:38:46,323
over the last four years.

662
00:38:47,030 --> 00:38:51,593
Four years ago, we were handed a structure and a plan.

663
00:38:52,380 --> 00:38:54,830
Our job was to take that structure and that plan,

664
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,040
build it out, create a vision, operationalize

665
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,963
this idea and ensure that it was integrated

666
00:38:59,963 --> 00:39:01,510
into the broader set of activities

667
00:39:01,510 --> 00:39:03,410
executed by the Department of Defense.

668
00:39:04,140 --> 00:39:06,090
And while doing this, increase the defense

669
00:39:06,090 --> 00:39:08,980
ability of the Department of Defense information networks,

670
00:39:08,980 --> 00:39:11,090
think about how we're gonna safeguard its weapons,

671
00:39:11,090 --> 00:39:13,433
its systems, its platforms, its data.

672
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:15,990
Think about how we're gonna generate more

673
00:39:15,990 --> 00:39:17,570
offensive capabilities designed to give

674
00:39:17,570 --> 00:39:19,500
our policy makers and our operational commanders

675
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:24,500
a greater range of options, and with all of that,

676
00:39:25,140 --> 00:39:27,970
18 months ago, we say we're gonna take on Isis

677
00:39:27,970 --> 00:39:30,470
as our first real challenge on the offensive side.

678
00:39:31,190 --> 00:39:32,520
You think about what we've done there.

679
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:33,900
Taking them on at the battlefields

680
00:39:33,900 --> 00:39:36,110
of Syria and Iraq, the things we've done

681
00:39:36,110 --> 00:39:38,860
that we're not gonna get into in the information arena.

682
00:39:39,230 --> 00:39:41,170
I know what you've done, the leadership of this nation

683
00:39:41,170 --> 00:39:43,520
knows what you have done, the leadership of this department

684
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,770
knows what you have done.

685
00:39:44,910 --> 00:39:46,973
It is a reflection of this organization,

686
00:39:47,570 --> 00:39:49,530
the Department of Defense and this government's

687
00:39:49,530 --> 00:39:51,710
belief in you, that we will elevate Cyber Command

688
00:39:51,710 --> 00:39:54,290
to a combatant commander, as General Nakasone

689
00:39:54,290 --> 00:39:55,513
assumes his role.

690
00:39:56,020 --> 00:39:59,590
That is a testament to you and everything that you have done

691
00:40:00,150 --> 00:40:02,403
and I, and the nation, thank you for that.

692
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,360
General Nakasone will be an inspired leader for you.

693
00:40:05,410 --> 00:40:07,253
He will take this even further.

694
00:40:07,710 --> 00:40:09,703
Because I agree with the Dep Sec Def,

695
00:40:09,910 --> 00:40:12,820
we got a great vision, I think, we got a great way forward.

696
00:40:12,820 --> 00:40:14,790
Now it's about how do we generate capacity

697
00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:16,950
on a global scale and that will bring its own

698
00:40:16,950 --> 00:40:19,240
set of challenges, but I know that you are up

699
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:20,153
to that challenge.

700
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,860
To the men and women of the National Security Agency

701
00:40:22,860 --> 00:40:24,850
and the Service Cryptologic Elements,

702
00:40:24,850 --> 00:40:27,893
and the broader global sigenth enterprise,

703
00:40:28,910 --> 00:40:31,010
thank you for what you do for this nation.

704
00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:34,573
We have had a challenging time in the past four years.

705
00:40:34,690 --> 00:40:36,430
I can remember one time sitting there talking

706
00:40:36,430 --> 00:40:39,840
to the leadership team at NSA, as we were thinking

707
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,270
to ourselves, how are we gonna deal with some of this

708
00:40:42,860 --> 00:40:44,920
and I'm a big, as my family knows, I love movies

709
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,560
and I love music, and one of the things that struck

710
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,880
me was Apollo 13, when people are saying

711
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,900
Oh this is terrible, we're gonna lose the crew,

712
00:40:52,900 --> 00:40:56,880
we're gonna lose the mission and the then Mission Commander

713
00:40:57,490 --> 00:40:59,940
turns to the group and says this will not be

714
00:40:59,940 --> 00:41:02,630
our worst day, this will be our best day

715
00:41:03,030 --> 00:41:04,760
because we will not define ourselves

716
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,260
by adversity but we will define ourselves

717
00:41:07,260 --> 00:41:10,120
how a group of motivated men and women come together

718
00:41:10,130 --> 00:41:12,140
to make a difference for this nation, our friends,

719
00:41:12,140 --> 00:41:13,003
and are allies.

720
00:41:13,430 --> 00:41:15,933
You have done that in spades.

721
00:41:16,660 --> 00:41:19,250
This nation entrusts us with an amazing

722
00:41:19,250 --> 00:41:20,703
set of capabilities.

723
00:41:21,170 --> 00:41:24,253
We are given access to data of incredible sensitivity.

724
00:41:24,650 --> 00:41:26,720
We must continue to safeguard that,

725
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:28,370
ensure the appropriate security

726
00:41:28,540 --> 00:41:31,793
and remember the trust the nation places is us.

727
00:41:32,180 --> 00:41:34,010
We execute our critical mission

728
00:41:34,010 --> 00:41:36,800
of foreign intelligence and cybersecurity at NSA

729
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,930
within a legal framework and a set of policies

730
00:41:39,930 --> 00:41:41,703
that we follow to the letter.

731
00:41:42,150 --> 00:41:43,673
That is our strength.

732
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,210
That is what generates the confidence

733
00:41:46,210 --> 00:41:49,320
of this nation that these many resources

734
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,340
that are granted to us are being used

735
00:41:51,340 --> 00:41:54,050
appropriately, wisely, and in the best interest

736
00:41:54,050 --> 00:41:56,850
of the citizens we serve and I am proud,

737
00:41:56,850 --> 00:41:59,113
as I look back, as I think to myself today,

738
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:00,743
I am both happy and proud.

739
00:42:01,060 --> 00:42:03,560
Happy because I feel hey I have pushed myself

740
00:42:03,690 --> 00:42:05,430
and the two organizations, the two teams

741
00:42:05,430 --> 00:42:07,480
that I have been a part of, are in a better place

742
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,583
today than we were when we started.

743
00:42:09,950 --> 00:42:12,060
And I look forward to the day, years from now,

744
00:42:12,060 --> 00:42:13,700
General Nakasone will be standing here

745
00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:16,020
in front of an audience and he too will say

746
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:19,000
I feel proud because the two organizations I leave

747
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:21,713
are in a better place now, than when I got there.

748
00:42:21,950 --> 00:42:23,900
I look forward to seeing where that run,

749
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:26,393
where that challenge is gonna take all of you.

750
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,260
I thank you for who you are and what you do

751
00:42:29,260 --> 00:42:31,803
and I look forward to watching that journey.

752
00:42:32,420 --> 00:42:34,793
You have a great leader coming today.

753
00:42:35,290 --> 00:42:39,200
Serve him well and remember what it is that we do.

754
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,600
We serve the citizens of this nation

755
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,800
and our friends and allies around the world.

756
00:42:44,260 --> 00:42:47,263
And we never, never violate that trust.

757
00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:49,943
And we always remember what we are about.

758
00:42:50,010 --> 00:42:51,610
And that doesn't matter if you're a part

759
00:42:51,610 --> 00:42:53,743
of Cyber Command or you're part of NSA.

760
00:42:54,380 --> 00:42:56,250
Lastly, let me also specifically thank

761
00:42:56,250 --> 00:42:58,130
Chairman Joe Dunford for being, and Ellen,

762
00:42:58,130 --> 00:42:59,580
for being here with us today.

763
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,560
You know, when you serve at this level,

764
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,440
my teammates in the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

765
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,630
Combatant Commanders, you get to see a side

766
00:43:06,630 --> 00:43:08,740
of it sometimes where you see this from the inside

767
00:43:08,740 --> 00:43:10,770
and you realize wow, how hard is this.

768
00:43:10,770 --> 00:43:12,740
These men and women who are willing

769
00:43:12,740 --> 00:43:15,820
to take on these amazing responsibilities

770
00:43:15,820 --> 00:43:18,203
and to just do it tirelessly.

771
00:43:19,340 --> 00:43:21,640
And Joe and I, many instances, I can remember calling,

772
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,093
talking to him, some things that hopefully,

773
00:43:24,620 --> 00:43:27,320
neither of us writes the book will ever become public.

774
00:43:27,702 --> 00:43:29,530
(laughing)

775
00:43:29,530 --> 00:43:31,960
But on the other hand, I was always blessed,

776
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,793
no matter how tough things got.

777
00:43:33,970 --> 00:43:36,640
No matter how, quite frankly, inaccurate

778
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,690
some of the stuff I'm reading and seeing.

779
00:43:38,720 --> 00:43:41,530
I always knew that I had a Chairman who had my back

780
00:43:41,530 --> 00:43:44,580
who I loved talking to because he always was honest

781
00:43:44,580 --> 00:43:45,413
and straight.

782
00:43:45,590 --> 00:43:48,090
Joe I just wanna say thanks so much for who you are

783
00:43:48,090 --> 00:43:50,523
and what you do every day for this nation.

784
00:43:51,167 --> 00:43:53,417
(applause)

785
00:44:01,350 --> 00:44:02,747
With that, I'm often asked, So Rogers what are

786
00:44:02,747 --> 00:44:03,930
you gonna do?

787
00:44:03,930 --> 00:44:05,590
Well let me tell you, priority number one,

788
00:44:05,590 --> 00:44:07,453
I have got to get some sleep.

789
00:44:07,950 --> 00:44:09,580
(laughing)

790
00:44:09,580 --> 00:44:11,050
As I'm laying in bed last night,

791
00:44:11,050 --> 00:44:13,500
literally, Dana says to me, so what do you think?

792
00:44:13,503 --> 00:44:16,403
You know you got less than 24 hours of responsibility left

793
00:44:16,445 --> 00:44:18,230
and I said, man we're gonna run through the tape.

794
00:44:18,230 --> 00:44:20,923
Little did I know, two hours later the phone calls.

795
00:44:21,620 --> 00:44:24,270
I reach out, looked at it, unlisted number,

796
00:44:24,270 --> 00:44:26,423
and I'm going okay I know this is work.

797
00:44:26,750 --> 00:44:28,880
Talked to work, hey Sir we need to talk.

798
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,323
Okay no sweat, I'll get my clothes,

799
00:44:31,417 --> 00:44:33,250
I'll be down in the vault, I'll be up

800
00:44:33,250 --> 00:44:36,330
and so I'm thinking to myself, boy these jobs

801
00:44:36,330 --> 00:44:37,983
just don't wanna let go.

802
00:44:39,420 --> 00:44:41,810
And I'm still reminded as the team reminded me

803
00:44:41,810 --> 00:44:43,180
earlier this morning, hey remember,

804
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:45,300
you still have one more congressional testimony, Sir,

805
00:44:45,300 --> 00:44:49,663
before you leave, so, but it'll soon be over.

806
00:44:50,010 --> 00:44:52,370
But thank you all very, very much for who you are

807
00:44:52,370 --> 00:44:54,270
and what you do and the one thing that unites

808
00:44:54,270 --> 00:44:56,003
everybody, finally, in this room.

809
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,594
Whether you're US, you're part of the coalition team,

810
00:44:59,594 --> 00:45:03,723
we all have dedicated ourselves, uniformed, civilian,

811
00:45:03,770 --> 00:45:07,053
active, reserve, officer, enlisted, it doesn't matter.

812
00:45:07,500 --> 00:45:09,830
Every one of us in this room has dedicated ourselves

813
00:45:09,830 --> 00:45:12,180
to the idea that we are part of something bigger

814
00:45:12,180 --> 00:45:15,393
than ourselves and that is an amazing thing.

815
00:45:16,570 --> 00:45:18,533
Don't ever take that for granted.

816
00:45:19,363 --> 00:45:21,480
Okay, and with that I thank you all very, very much.

817
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:22,687
God speed to all of you.

818
00:45:22,951 --> 00:45:25,201

819
00:45:57,940 --> 00:45:59,290

Today, the passing of this flag

844
00:47:24,990 --> 00:47:27,423
has additional special significance.

845
00:47:27,730 --> 00:47:29,885
This passing of the flag marks the elevation

902
00:51:45,670 --> 00:51:48,220
Perhaps none more significant that the new guy

903
00:51:48,730 --> 00:51:50,450
at a Change of Command Ceremony

904
00:51:51,130 --> 00:51:52,830
should keep his remarks very short

905
00:51:53,660 --> 00:51:56,023
and ensure an early start to the reception.

906
00:51:57,950 --> 00:51:59,240
Although some of you may think

907
00:51:59,240 --> 00:52:01,023
that I'm gonna buck this tradition,

908
00:52:01,460 --> 00:52:02,953
I assure you, I'm not.

909
00:52:03,720 --> 00:52:05,880
More importantly, I was counseled by several

910
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:10,283
who wish to remain anonymous that offered this advice.

911
00:52:10,930 --> 00:52:12,903
Keep it short, Dad.

912
00:52:13,463 --> 00:52:15,713
(laughing)

913
00:52:18,220 --> 00:52:19,700
So for the many distinguished guests,

914
00:52:19,700 --> 00:52:20,883
thank you very much.

915
00:52:22,180 --> 00:52:23,950
To Secretary Mattis who couldn't be here today.

916
00:52:23,950 --> 00:52:27,043
To Director Coats, obviously Secretary Shanahan,

917
00:52:27,970 --> 00:52:30,660
General Dunford, thank you so much for the trust

918
00:52:30,660 --> 00:52:31,970
and confidence you've placed in me

919
00:52:31,970 --> 00:52:33,110
to lead these two organizations.

920
00:52:33,110 --> 00:52:35,410
I look forward to this tremendous opportunity.

921
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,943
To Admiral Mike Rogers, Outgoing Commander and Director,

922
00:52:40,570 --> 00:52:42,733
a tremendous leader to both organizations.

923
00:52:43,610 --> 00:52:47,323
Former boss, congratulations to both you and Dana,

924
00:52:47,430 --> 00:52:49,563
to your family, on a tremendous career.

925
00:52:50,290 --> 00:52:52,560
We are just thoroughly pleased to have had

926
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,580
the association with you and really pleased

927
00:52:55,580 --> 00:52:57,200
as you start your next life together.

928
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,383
Thank you so much for your service to our country.

929
00:52:59,534 --> 00:53:01,784
(applause)

930
00:53:07,550 --> 00:53:09,710
To my family and friends from Hawaii,

931
00:53:09,710 --> 00:53:11,560
to Minnesota, to Maryland, to Virginia,

932
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,260
and places in between, thank you for joining us today.

933
00:53:14,690 --> 00:53:16,550
To Susan, Sarah, Daniel, David, and Joseph,

934
00:53:16,550 --> 00:53:18,790
thank you for all that you've made this day

935
00:53:18,810 --> 00:53:20,933
possible, thank you so very, very much.

936
00:53:21,250 --> 00:53:23,513
And finally to those behind the scenes,

937
00:53:23,660 --> 00:53:26,090
fershings own, to the people that helped me

938
00:53:26,090 --> 00:53:28,485
with my confirmation preparation, my tireless

939
00:53:28,485 --> 00:53:30,537
front office and the great Cyber Comm

940
00:53:30,537 --> 00:53:33,920
and NSA protocol teams who worked incredibly

941
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,700
long hours, thank you so much for your

942
00:53:36,700 --> 00:53:39,713
on again off again approach to this ceremony.

943
00:53:39,780 --> 00:53:42,780
Your approach to what was last Friday,

944
00:53:42,780 --> 00:53:45,730
what became this Friday, my sincerest thanks

945
00:53:45,730 --> 00:53:46,763
for a job well done.

946
00:53:47,281 --> 00:53:49,531
(applause)

947
00:53:53,370 --> 00:53:55,190
So ladies and gentlemen, while today marks

948
00:53:55,190 --> 00:53:57,740
a day of change, it's also a day of new beginnings.

949
00:53:57,990 --> 00:54:00,770
Of our new partnerships and of our enduring commitment

950
00:54:00,820 --> 00:54:02,270
to the defense of our nation.

951
00:54:02,780 --> 00:54:04,333
First, this is a new beginning.

952
00:54:04,770 --> 00:54:06,530
Today we start writing the opening chapter

953
00:54:06,530 --> 00:54:09,480
for US Cyber Command, as our nation's newest

954
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:10,973
Unified Combatant Command.

955
00:54:11,250 --> 00:54:13,410
From Defensive Operations protecting our networks

956
00:54:13,410 --> 00:54:15,730
to Offensive Operations against Isis

957
00:54:15,740 --> 00:54:19,333
and other adversaries, Cyber Comm has matured rapidly.

958
00:54:20,060 --> 00:54:22,780
Our team now has both a challenge, and more importantly,

959
00:54:22,780 --> 00:54:25,420
the opportunity to build a Combatant Command

960
00:54:25,420 --> 00:54:26,453
from the ground up.

961
00:54:27,940 --> 00:54:29,510
The Elevation today marks a proud day

962
00:54:29,510 --> 00:54:31,283
for Cyber Comm and the nation.

963
00:54:32,290 --> 00:54:33,900
And I am fortunate to be here to lead you

964
00:54:33,900 --> 00:54:36,443
into this next chapter of our great history.

965
00:54:37,750 --> 00:54:39,753
New beginnings are also evident.

966
00:54:40,140 --> 00:54:42,640
In this building we find ourselves this afternoon,

967
00:54:43,050 --> 00:54:45,160
the newly constructed integrated Cyber Center

968
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,130
has been designed as a nerve center

969
00:54:47,130 --> 00:54:49,980
for critical national security cyberspace missions,

970
00:54:49,980 --> 00:54:53,523
tying together two powerful national organizations.

971
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,313
The National Security Agency and US Cyber Command.

972
00:54:57,710 --> 00:55:00,590
These connected buildings provide real time

973
00:55:00,590 --> 00:55:02,590
coordination symbolic of the partnership

974
00:55:03,100 --> 00:55:04,810
between two great organizations who track

975
00:55:04,810 --> 00:55:07,453
our adversaries, provide warning,

976
00:55:08,020 --> 00:55:09,920
and if called upon, defend the nation.

977
00:55:10,930 --> 00:55:13,253
Today is also about renewed partnerships.

978
00:55:13,490 --> 00:55:14,690
For the talented men and women

979
00:55:14,690 --> 00:55:17,290
of the National Security Agency, this is a new day

980
00:55:17,290 --> 00:55:19,920
for us as well, along with Cyber Command,

981
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,550
we face similar challenges of adaptive adversaries

982
00:55:23,740 --> 00:55:27,307
and dynamic technologies that demand all we have before.

983
00:55:28,219 --> 00:55:31,600
NSA will continue our unfailing role as a vital

984
00:55:31,900 --> 00:55:36,003
combat support agencies to our nations military forces.

985
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,390
We'll also continue to be the elite foreign signals

986
00:55:39,390 --> 00:55:41,363
intelligence produce across the globe,

987
00:55:41,420 --> 00:55:44,063
coupled with our closest partners and allies,

988
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,819
we're an irreplaceable cornerstone

989
00:55:46,819 --> 00:55:48,553
of our intelligence community.

990
00:55:49,970 --> 00:55:51,570
And we'll continue to evolve together.

991
00:55:51,570 --> 00:55:54,183
NSA's greatest strength has always been it's people.

992
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:56,810
Our people bring innovation and adaptedness.

993
00:55:56,810 --> 00:55:59,677
NSA's agility and ability to solve the unsolvable

994
00:55:59,677 --> 00:56:01,850
challenges are more critical than ever

995
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,863
and perhaps our mission has never been more demanding.

996
00:56:05,930 --> 00:56:08,760
But we are up to this task, much as this agency

997
00:56:08,780 --> 00:56:10,543
has always been up to the task.

998
00:56:10,950 --> 00:56:12,490
I'm equally proud to be leading you

999
00:56:12,490 --> 00:56:14,240
in this new chapter of our history.

1000
00:56:14,810 --> 00:56:16,510
Finally, we are all here today

1001
00:56:16,510 --> 00:56:18,010
because of a shared commitment

1002
00:56:18,610 --> 00:56:20,060
to the defense of our nation.

1003
00:56:20,510 --> 00:56:22,890
We are at a unique point in our history

1004
00:56:22,890 --> 00:56:24,760
where in cyberspace, we are confronted with both

1005
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,880
rapidly changing technology and adversaries

1006
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,260
that would seek to threaten this country

1007
00:56:29,260 --> 00:56:31,003
in new and unprecedented ways.

1008
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,170
Earlier this year, the Department of Defense

1009
00:56:34,170 --> 00:56:36,170
published our National Defense Strategy.

1010
00:56:36,370 --> 00:56:37,770
To both the Agency and the Command,

1011
00:56:37,770 --> 00:56:39,430
what our Department expects of us

1012
00:56:39,670 --> 00:56:41,443
and what we will deliver is,

1013
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:43,660
a commitment to defend our nation,

1014
00:56:44,340 --> 00:56:46,253
wherever and whenever it needs us.

1015
00:56:46,583 --> 00:56:48,290
A ready and formidable cyber force

1016
00:56:48,290 --> 00:56:50,803
with global and dominant capabilities.

1017
00:56:51,460 --> 00:56:52,890
Unrivaled intelligence support

1018
00:56:52,890 --> 00:56:55,670
to national leaders, government partners,

1019
00:56:55,670 --> 00:56:57,053
and military commanders.

1020
00:56:58,100 --> 00:56:59,900
To forge ahead with new partnerships

1021
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:02,390
and the efficient use of our resources

1022
00:57:02,390 --> 00:57:06,253
that Congress has entrusted with to operative force.

1023
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,260
So standing in front of the men and women

1024
00:57:09,260 --> 00:57:10,990
of NSA and Cyber Comm today, I think about

1025
00:57:10,990 --> 00:57:13,430
how well poised we are to step

1026
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:15,580
into the demands this strategy lays out

1027
00:57:15,580 --> 00:57:18,730
for us, in this moment, we must look

1028
00:57:18,730 --> 00:57:20,470
beyond our past accomplishments,

1029
00:57:20,470 --> 00:57:22,390
we must deliver results and we must continue

1030
00:57:22,390 --> 00:57:25,280
the trailblazing path of this great workforce

1031
00:57:26,230 --> 00:57:28,260
that has earned admiration across the country

1032
00:57:28,260 --> 00:57:29,333
and around the world.

1033
00:57:30,210 --> 00:57:32,090
Ladies and Gentlemen, for US Cyber Command

1034
00:57:32,090 --> 00:57:33,793
and the National Security Agency,

1035
00:57:34,030 --> 00:57:36,330
today is just the start of our new beginnings.

1036
00:57:36,550 --> 00:57:39,230
of our renewed partnerships and our enduring commitment

1037
00:57:39,230 --> 00:57:40,680
to the defense of our nation.

1038
00:57:41,130 --> 00:57:43,920
It's a demanding but exciting journey

1039
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:44,970
we'll be on together.

1040
00:57:45,510 --> 00:57:47,210
We wouldn't want it any other way.

1041
00:57:47,450 --> 00:57:49,200
Thanks, thanks for attending today.

1042
00:57:50,144 --> 00:57:52,394
(applause)

1043
00:58:04,645 --> 00:58:05,717
- Thank you General Nakasone.

1044
00:58:05,717 --> 00:58:07,560
The United States Army Field Band

1045
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,420
will now play the special march

1046
00:58:09,420 --> 00:58:11,060
written by one of their musicians,

1047
00:58:11,060 --> 00:58:14,123
Staff Sergeant J.G. Miller, United States Army.

1048
00:58:14,570 --> 00:58:15,920
He wrote it during the early days

1049
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,603
of United States Cyber Command,

1050
00:58:17,810 --> 00:58:19,440
the march follows some of the traditions

1051
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,810
of John Phillip Sousa and then digresses

1052
00:58:21,810 --> 00:58:24,500
from tradition symbolizing the changing environment

1053
00:58:24,740 --> 00:58:26,693
of today's complex battlefields.

1054
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:28,870
The most meaningful aspects of the piece

1055
00:58:28,870 --> 00:58:31,540
are two short and coded messages of support

1056
00:58:31,740 --> 00:58:33,993
woven into the fabric of the piece itself.

1057
00:58:34,180 --> 00:58:36,570
Messages intended to provide a musical honor

1058
00:58:36,730 --> 00:58:38,410
to the thousands of men and women

1059
00:58:38,590 --> 00:58:41,580
who work tirelessly to keep our freedom safe

1060
00:58:41,850 --> 00:58:44,913
in the ever changing battlefield of cyberspace.

1061
00:58:45,290 --> 00:58:47,890
Men and women who's work is often unrecognized

1062
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:49,933
by those they protect.

1063
00:58:54,961 --> 00:58:58,794
(upbeat military style music)

1064
01:01:14,286 --> 01:01:16,536
(applause)

1065
01:01:25,740 --> 01:01:27,280
- Ladies and Gentlemen, please stand

1066
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,000
for a medley of service songs

1067
01:01:29,250 --> 01:01:31,250
and the departure of the official party.

1068
01:01:33,948 --> 01:01:36,781
(military medley)

1069
01:04:56,069 --> 01:04:58,319
(applause)

1070
01:05:10,198 --> 01:05:12,615
Boatswain, post the sideboys.

1071
01:05:12,742 --> 01:05:14,425
- [Boatswain] Aye Aye, Sir.

1072
01:05:14,425 --> 01:05:16,008
Sideboys attention.

1073
01:05:27,797 --> 01:05:28,964
Forward march.

- [Boatswain] Aye Aye, Sir.

1104
01:08:13,945 --> 01:08:15,853
- [Mike] It's a little ahead of this trip.

1105
01:08:15,853 --> 01:08:17,167

01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:52,633
for attending today's ceremony.

1114
01:08:52,870 --> 01:08:54,210
Please join us for a reception

1117
01:09:03,228 --> 01:09:05,978
(military music)

1118
01:09:51,467 --> 01:09:52,884
- Good afternoon.

1119
01:09:57,057 --> 01:09:59,007
Welcome to the Integrated Cyber Center.

1120
01:09:59,710 --> 01:10:00,683
Admiral Rogers.

1121
01:10:02,632 --> 01:10:04,882
(applause)

1122
01:10:09,620 --> 01:10:13,173
Family members and friends, welcome today.

1123
01:10:13,390 --> 01:10:15,750
We're honored today to have the opportunity

1124
01:10:15,750 --> 01:10:18,570
to open the new Integrated Cyber Center

1125
01:10:18,570 --> 01:10:21,003
that soon many of you are going to see.

1126
01:10:21,510 --> 01:10:24,160
This has been a partnership, a very close partnership

1127
01:10:24,166 --> 01:10:28,040
of a lot of folks, and I won't take much

1128
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:28,950
of Admiral Rogers' time.

1129
01:10:28,950 --> 01:10:33,950
The US Army Core of Engineers Baltimore District,

1130
01:10:34,717 --> 01:10:38,403
Colonel Ed Chamberlain who's the Commander,

1131
01:10:38,570 --> 01:10:41,040
Dara Van Lou who is our Program Manager

1132
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:45,510
out here, and all of our military construction team

1133
01:10:45,998 --> 01:10:50,940
working out here with Hensel Phelps who built

1134
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,610
this half of the building, Walsh Federal Construction

1135
01:10:53,610 --> 01:10:55,660
who built the other half of the building.

1136
01:10:56,528 --> 01:10:58,583
A.E. Kong who designed the building.

1137
01:10:58,900 --> 01:11:01,010
This is a unique project, we built this

1138
01:11:01,010 --> 01:11:03,570
as two separate buildings, we started the one

1139
01:11:03,570 --> 01:11:06,893
to my left first, and finished the one to my right.

1140
01:11:07,440 --> 01:11:10,030
And I usually tell a lot of facts about the building

1141
01:11:10,030 --> 01:11:12,833
that I won't tell that much, but some tidbits,

1142
01:11:12,860 --> 01:11:14,430
you're standing under a veil.

1143
01:11:14,430 --> 01:11:16,300
As you go outside, if you look, you'll see

1144
01:11:16,300 --> 01:11:20,110
some exposed beams that represents unveiling

1145
01:11:20,214 --> 01:11:25,214
the Cyber Command and the NSA Integrated Cybercenter.

1146
01:11:25,730 --> 01:11:29,300
You see, behind me is going to be the Joint Operations

1147
01:11:29,300 --> 01:11:32,830
Center, or the watch floor, all the lines on the floor

1148
01:11:33,060 --> 01:11:36,400
emanate out from that and carry into the courtyard

1149
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:38,623
because that's the center of Operations.

1150
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:42,630
Shielded symbolically in copper because

1151
01:11:42,630 --> 01:11:45,450
in previous days, that's how we protected

1152
01:11:45,450 --> 01:11:48,143
our buildings from emanations, from computers,

1153
01:11:48,370 --> 01:11:50,590
and communications that would go off

1154
01:11:50,590 --> 01:11:51,470
of the building.

1155
01:11:51,470 --> 01:11:53,210
The buildings you see on our other campus

1156
01:11:53,210 --> 01:11:54,830
are shielded in copper, this one's not.

1157
01:11:54,830 --> 01:11:56,610
I can't tell you what it's shielded in ,

1158
01:11:56,610 --> 01:11:58,640
but that's okay you don't need to know.

1159
01:11:59,038 --> 01:12:01,288
(laughing)

1160
01:12:03,153 --> 01:12:05,040
The other thing I'd like you to see

1161
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:08,263
when you go inside is the ceiling of the watch floor,

1162
01:12:08,384 --> 01:12:12,230
it is symbolic of heartbeats emanating out

1163
01:12:12,230 --> 01:12:13,880
from the center of the watch floor.

1164
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,173
So this is the building where we're gonna,

1165
01:12:16,289 --> 01:12:18,920
it's gonna play a big role in the operations

1166
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:19,753
for the future.

1167
01:12:20,860 --> 01:12:22,860
So at this time, I'd like to introduce

1168
01:12:23,740 --> 01:12:25,770
someone who's been a key vision

1169
01:12:25,770 --> 01:12:29,710
for not just this building, but the entire campus.

1170
01:12:29,710 --> 01:12:32,410
He's spent as much time out here on the campus

1171
01:12:32,410 --> 01:12:33,853
with me as I have.

1172
01:12:34,780 --> 01:12:38,580
We've spent a lot of time walking

1173
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:40,620
up and down the campus looking at the buildings,

1174
01:12:40,620 --> 01:12:42,790
looking at the construction and Admiral Rogers

1175
01:12:42,790 --> 01:12:44,837
has always been the vision behind this.

1176
01:12:44,837 --> 01:12:48,070
I have a picture, I'm gonna tell that story anyway.

1177
01:12:48,070 --> 01:12:50,450
I have a picture hanging on my wall

1178
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,890
of me and Admiral Rogers on the fourth floor

1179
01:12:53,890 --> 01:12:55,980
of this building overlooking the campus

1180
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,370
and everyone following talking about

1181
01:12:58,370 --> 01:13:00,343
where we were gonna put buildings.

1182
01:13:01,330 --> 01:13:03,390
Actually it was the day after Auburn beat

1183
01:13:03,830 --> 01:13:08,373
Georgia, but Georgia was number one but they beat them.

1184
01:13:08,500 --> 01:13:10,380
And so we were talking about the Auburn Georgia game

1185
01:13:10,380 --> 01:13:12,020
and then all of a sudden, Chief of Staff

1186
01:13:12,020 --> 01:13:16,177
General and we caught him out of the corner

1187
01:13:16,211 --> 01:13:17,440
of our eye, Admiral Rogers say we'll put it

1188
01:13:17,440 --> 01:13:18,273
over there.

1189
01:13:19,127 --> 01:13:21,120
(laughing)

1190
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:24,863
So without further ado, Admiral Michael Rogers.

1191
01:13:25,915 --> 01:13:28,165
(applause)

1192
01:13:37,597 --> 01:13:40,510
- Well today is a great day because it reflects

1193
01:13:40,510 --> 01:13:44,320
the completion of a vision that literally

1194
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:45,453
started years ago.

1195
01:13:45,820 --> 01:13:47,670
And that many of us who do this work today

1196
01:13:47,670 --> 01:13:49,153
as members of the United States Cyber Command

1197
01:13:49,153 --> 01:13:51,870
and the National Security Agency try to carry on

1198
01:13:51,870 --> 01:13:54,420
the legacy of the men and women who came before us.

1199
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:57,083
And their legacy is reflected in this building.

1200
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:00,230
So as you walked up, you saw that what this area,

1201
01:14:00,230 --> 01:14:03,280
we call the East Campus, is the future where

1202
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,000
you're gonna see us representing multiple structures,

1203
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,060
multiple capabilities, right across the street

1204
01:14:08,060 --> 01:14:09,620
is a brand new building, it will be opening

1205
01:14:09,620 --> 01:14:12,680
within the next 60 days where Marine Forces Cyber

1206
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,233
will be operating from.

1207
01:14:14,500 --> 01:14:17,833
There's only growth in here.

1208
01:14:18,500 --> 01:14:20,403
There's growth out here for a reason.

1209
01:14:20,820 --> 01:14:22,850
Because our nation believes in the importance

1210
01:14:22,850 --> 01:14:26,580
of cyber intelligence and it is willing to commit

1211
01:14:26,580 --> 01:14:29,840
our citizens hard earned resources to do it

1212
01:14:30,490 --> 01:14:33,563
and at Cyber Command and at NSA we don't take that lightly.

1213
01:14:34,010 --> 01:14:36,220
We serve the nation and it's citizens

1214
01:14:36,357 --> 01:14:38,600
and we are grateful for their willingness

1215
01:14:38,870 --> 01:14:40,663
to give us this kind of capacity.

1216
01:14:41,130 --> 01:14:43,923
In many ways this building represents the future to me.

1217
01:14:44,570 --> 01:14:46,370
You've got a section that is NSA,

1218
01:14:46,370 --> 01:14:47,970
you've got a middle here, the ops center,

1219
01:14:47,970 --> 01:14:49,603
you'll see just a little later,

1220
01:14:49,620 --> 01:14:51,480
fully integrated and the interagency

1221
01:14:51,480 --> 01:14:53,190
a strong component in all this as well as

1222
01:14:53,190 --> 01:14:55,084
a broader set of partners than just both

1223
01:14:55,084 --> 01:14:57,863
Cyber Command and NSA, and on the far side,

1224
01:14:58,260 --> 01:14:59,430
a section that we're gonna leave purely

1225
01:14:59,430 --> 01:15:00,423
as Cyber Command.

1226
01:15:00,810 --> 01:15:03,260
It's this ability to integrate, hence

1227
01:15:03,260 --> 01:15:05,820
the integrative Cyber Center, to generate

1228
01:15:05,820 --> 01:15:07,010
outcomes for our nation.

1229
01:15:07,010 --> 01:15:09,010
That is the vision behind this building.

1230
01:15:09,740 --> 01:15:11,280
And I'm so proud of the men and women

1231
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,490
that did all this work cause it has really

1232
01:15:13,490 --> 01:15:14,473
been a great ride.

1233
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,703
So without any further ado, I think you are,

1234
01:15:17,820 --> 01:15:19,870
nope we're gonna do the cutting, come on.

1235
01:15:20,493 --> 01:15:22,743
(applause)

1236
01:15:40,413 --> 01:15:42,160
We got everybody in here, tight up for the picture?

1237
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:42,993
Tighten it up.

1238
01:15:48,585 --> 01:15:50,638
We're just gonna pose, everybody put their scissors

1239
01:15:50,638 --> 01:15:51,888
just like this.

1240
01:15:52,770 --> 01:15:53,603
Heads up.

1241
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:00,490
Okay ready for the real thing?

1242
01:16:00,490 --> 01:16:01,640
We're gonna count down.

1243
01:16:01,780 --> 01:16:02,620
Three

1244
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:04,433
Two

1245
01:16:04,900 --> 01:16:05,733
One.

1246
01:16:07,071 --> 01:16:09,321
(applause)

1247
01:16:25,810 --> 01:16:27,970
- I'm the only one standing between you

1248
01:16:27,970 --> 01:16:30,890
and getting in to see the great room.

1249
01:16:30,890 --> 01:16:33,940
This facility is a landmark accomplishment

1250
01:16:34,350 --> 01:16:38,093
and supports the future of Integrated Cyberspace Operations.

1251
01:16:38,750 --> 01:16:40,100
It is more than a building.

1252
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,390
The ICC represents the spirit of support

1253
01:16:43,390 --> 01:16:46,380
the people who advance our vital mission

1254
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:47,810
in support of our nation.

1255
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,420
The ICC represents both an opportunity

1256
01:16:51,890 --> 01:16:55,903
and a responsibility to continually foster innovation,

1257
01:16:56,180 --> 01:16:59,430
collaboration and innovation required to meet

1258
01:16:59,430 --> 01:17:02,403
dynamic needs now and into the future.

1259
01:17:03,490 --> 01:17:05,260
In addition to our thanks for the men and women

1260
01:17:05,260 --> 01:17:07,710
who worked to make this ribbon cutting a reality,
