led by Colonel Jim Keane, United States Army.

03:05.170 --> 03:07.780
Today's ceremony is rooted in military tradition,

03:07.780 --> 03:10.150
dating back to the 18th century, under the reign

03:10.150 --> 03:12.443
of King Frederick the Great of Prussia.

03:12.790 --> 03:15.120
During this time, organizational flags

03:15.120 --> 03:17.440
were developed with colors and symbols

03:17.440 --> 03:18.783
unique to each unit.

03:19.280 --> 03:21.260
When the change of command took place,

03:21.260 --> 03:23.350
the outgoing Commander passed the flag

03:23.530 --> 03:26.193
to the individual assuming command.

03:26.460 --> 03:28.130
This was done in front of the unit,

03:28.130 --> 03:31.140
so that all could witness their new leader

03:31.150 --> 03:33.493
assuming this leadership position.

03:33.890 --> 03:37.090
Whoever controlled the flag, also controlled

03:37.090 --> 03:39.583
the troops and their allegiance.

03:39.890 --> 03:42.170
This symbolic tradition has continued

03:42.370 --> 03:44.283
throughout military history.

03:48.820 --> 03:51.120
- Ladies and Gentlemen, in keeping with

03:51.120 --> 03:53.433
the rich tradition of the United States Navy,

the official party will pass through a group

03:55.510 --> 03:57.703
of sailors, known as sideboys.

03:58.480 --> 04:01.080
Sideboys were posted in two rows on the Quarter Deck

04:01.150 --> 04:04.813
when a visiting dignitary boarded or disembarked a ship.

04:05.040 --> 04:07.933

04:28.060 --> 04:29.213

04:29.660 --> 04:32.510
When Honors are rendered, and during the National Anthem,

04:32.670 --> 04:34.500
it is customary for military members

04:34.500 --> 04:37.020

16:47.480 --> 16:49.130
and I'm the Senator for Maryland,

16:49.380 --> 16:51.730
so I'm gonna brag a little bit about our state.

16:52.460 --> 16:54.663
General Nakasone, I just want you to know,

16:54.803 --> 16:58.463
that team Maryland, indeed, the entire nation,

16:58.560 --> 17:01.080
is behind you and supports your mission

17:01.260 --> 17:04.593
that will take place in this incredible facility,

17:04.940 --> 17:08.090
and to Admiral Rogers, thank you for a job

17:08.090 --> 17:11.150
very, very well done, you have devoted your life

17:11.370 --> 17:15.784
to public service and we salute you to a job well done.

17:15.784 --> 17:18.034
(applause)

17:22.269 --> 17:24.186
Congratulations to all.

17:24.413 --> 17:26.663
(applause)

17:30.640 --> 17:32.023
- Thank you Senator Cardin.

17:33.040 --> 17:35.460
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Honorable Robert Joyce,

17:35.460 --> 17:37.403
Special Assistant to the President,

17:37.510 --> 17:40.793
and Cyber Security Coordinator National Security Staff.

17:41.147 --> 17:43.397
(applause)

17:45.740 --> 17:47.040
- Thank you Admiral White.

17:47.390 --> 17:48.793
It's a pleasure to be here.

17:48.990 --> 17:51.853
Growing up as part of the NSA and Cyber Com family,

17:52.030 --> 17:54.290
to be able to come out and represent the White House

17:54.290 --> 17:56.570
at such an occasion is just an honor

17:57.430 --> 18:00.470
and I'd really like to reinforce the way

18:00.470 --> 18:03.490
the nation has recognized that cyberspace

18:03.490 --> 18:07.000
is now an element, key and vital, to our security

18:07.010 --> 18:09.860
as well as our properity and for those reasons,

18:09.860 --> 18:11.550
we've made the investment in things

18:11.550 --> 18:15.570
like the facilities here, the people that are coming

18:15.570 --> 18:19.750
to both the military in Cyber Command and NSA

18:19.750 --> 18:21.697
and the civilians that serve at NSA.

18:22.891 --> 18:27.240
The continued focus on that importance

18:27.397 --> 18:30.830
was shown as the President elevated Cyber Command

18:30.830 --> 18:32.933
to a Unified Combatant Command last year.

18:33.888 --> 18:37.800
I can't skip this occasion without thanking

18:38.020 --> 18:39.800
Admiral Rogers for having the vision

18:39.800 --> 18:43.540
and the leadership to drive us to this historic moment

18:44.000 --> 18:46.420
and I'd really like to welcome General Nakasone

18:46.420 --> 18:49.207
as he takes the helm of both Cyber Command

18:49.207 --> 18:53.330
and NSA where he's really got the expertise

18:53.330 --> 18:56.160
to understand the mission and the focus on the people

18:56.160 --> 18:58.710
who will fill the center and do those missions

18:58.710 --> 19:01.990
and bring us to a place where we can have that peace,

19:01.990 --> 19:04.550
safety, and prosperity through cyberspace.

19:04.550 --> 19:05.753
So thank you all.

19:06.931 --> 19:09.181
(applause)

19:13.990 --> 19:15.363
- Thank you Mr. Joyce.

19:15.930 --> 19:18.430
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Honorable Patrick M. Shanahan,

19:18.430 --> 19:20.343
Deputy Secretary of Defense.

19:20.774 --> 19:23.024
(applause)

19:26.120 --> 19:28.170
Well good afternoon everyone, how are we?

19:28.380 --> 19:29.313
Good, good.

19:30.426 --> 19:34.030
I put together some formal remarks, Admiral,

19:34.030 --> 19:36.330
cause I have to get a few things off my chest.

19:36.566 --> 19:38.440
(laughing)

19:38.440 --> 19:41.090
This will be fun and we've introduced

19:41.090 --> 19:43.150
so many wonderful people, I just would like

19:43.150 --> 19:45.010
maybe a special call out to the families.

19:45.010 --> 19:46.690
It's so wonderful to have you here

19:46.690 --> 19:49.033
and this is a really special time.

19:49.423 --> 19:51.673
(applause)

19:56.470 --> 19:58.710
Thank you all for being here to honor

19:58.710 --> 20:01.373
Admiral Rogers four year tenure.

20:01.990 --> 20:04.810
Transferred command to General Nakasone

20:04.810 --> 20:08.520
and elevate Cyber Comm to full Unified Combatant

20:08.870 --> 20:12.083
Command Status, standing up our 10th Co Comm,

20:12.660 --> 20:17.660
first new addition since Afri Comm began operations in 2007.

20:19.070 --> 20:21.990
For more than 1,000 years, militaries have vied

20:22.250 --> 20:24.143
for dominance on land and sea.

20:25.100 --> 20:28.120
For the last 100 years, we have dominated

20:28.330 --> 20:32.593
in the air, today we are at the dawn of a new era.

20:33.430 --> 20:36.823
Facing the reality of wars changing character.

20:37.760 --> 20:40.850
The emergence of cyberspace and outer space

20:40.990 --> 20:43.483
as contested war fighting domains,

20:44.330 --> 20:47.983
equal in importance with land, sea and air.

20:49.470 --> 20:52.653
Cyberspace is not bound by geography.

20:53.450 --> 20:55.830
It is not bound by the physical prowess

20:55.830 --> 20:57.093
of our adversaries.

20:58.180 --> 21:01.810
The next 10 years will look significantly different

21:01.810 --> 21:06.683
than the last 10, more than any of us likely can imagine.

21:08.200 --> 21:10.540
The Department of Defense will ensure our military

21:10.540 --> 21:14.260
is ready to fight and win against any adversary

21:14.710 --> 21:16.753
across every domain.

21:17.660 --> 21:21.320
Dominating the cyber domain at the speed of relevance

21:21.760 --> 21:24.163
and maintaining our competitive advantage.

21:25.060 --> 21:29.570
Admiral Rogers, over four years, you anticipated

21:29.570 --> 21:33.260
the demands of the cyber domain before they had

21:33.260 --> 21:34.823
been full articulated.

21:35.920 --> 21:37.480
Your efforts informed this year's

21:37.480 --> 21:41.580
National Defense Strategy, a road map for America's military

21:41.580 --> 21:45.473
that takes a clear eyed look at the world as it is,

21:45.840 --> 21:49.280
recognizing cyberspace as a war fighting domain

21:50.210 --> 21:53.670
and our need to innovatively shape, expand,

21:53.670 --> 21:55.803
and dominate the competitive space.

21:57.030 --> 22:00.200
In a time of renewed great power competition,

22:00.200 --> 22:02.600
Nations as different as Russia and China

22:03.290 --> 22:07.560
seek to leverage cyberspace and build asymmetric

22:07.560 --> 22:10.980
advantage over our military and terrorists use

22:10.980 --> 22:14.200
the cyber domain to spread their poisonous

22:14.200 --> 22:15.803
ideology of hate.

22:17.050 --> 22:19.600
In this environment, there can be no complacency

22:20.620 --> 22:23.700
as we field lethal resilient and adaptable

22:23.700 --> 22:26.163
joint force capable of defending the nation.

22:27.440 --> 22:29.620
Admiral Rogers, you have tackled an explosion

22:29.620 --> 22:32.913
of threats, and explosion of technology,

22:33.750 --> 22:36.410
and explosions in demand and capacity

22:37.610 --> 22:40.993
all with little history or policy precedent to draw upon.

22:41.950 --> 22:44.080
You have worked closely with our services

22:44.370 --> 22:46.560
to keep our cyber mission force on track

22:46.560 --> 22:49.913
to reach it's full operational capability.

22:51.370 --> 22:53.230
You have grown our defensive capabilities

22:53.230 --> 22:56.510
to protect DOD assets and offensive capabilities

22:56.980 --> 22:59.023
to take the fight to our adversaries.

22:59.690 --> 23:02.490
To include standing up joint force task force

23:02.640 --> 23:06.363
areas to challenge Isis alongside our partners,

23:06.900 --> 23:10.220
illustrating our ability to integrate cyber operations

23:10.220 --> 23:12.383
in a broader military campaign.

23:13.820 --> 23:15.860
You leave a strong foundation behind

23:15.860 --> 23:16.913
as your legacy.

23:18.510 --> 23:21.930
Today's elevation of Cyber Comm is an acknowledgement

23:21.930 --> 23:26.880
that this new war fighting domain has come of age

23:27.920 --> 23:30.760
as well as a tangible indicator of the Department's

23:30.760 --> 23:33.913
investment in our cyber capabilities.

23:35.240 --> 23:39.950
Admiral, or Mike, thank you for nearly 37 years

23:39.950 --> 23:42.100
of service upholding our constitution

23:42.750 --> 23:44.593
and defending the American people,

23:45.720 --> 23:49.713
a gift we cannot repay, a gift we will treasure.

23:50.862 --> 23:53.112
(applause)

24:01.378 --> 24:03.682
Thank you for your dedication to this team.

24:03.690 --> 24:06.520
One that lives up to the symbolism of the eagle

24:06.760 --> 24:08.963
on the Cyber Comm and NSA seals.

24:09.610 --> 24:13.190
Your expertise and skill pierce the darkness

24:13.260 --> 24:15.313
and allow us to remain vigilant.

24:16.610 --> 24:18.163
I also wanna thank your family.

24:18.930 --> 24:22.050
Dana, your wife, your kids, Justin, Patrick,

24:22.050 --> 24:26.973
I know John is here, and Dana's parents, Bud and Mary.

24:28.170 --> 24:30.513
Dana, Mike gets to come home now.

24:31.780 --> 24:33.590
We appreciate your patience and willingness

24:33.590 --> 24:36.633
to share him with us, he's all yours.

24:37.521 --> 24:39.360
(laughing)

24:39.360 --> 24:40.943
- [Mike] Careful what you wish for.

24:41.160 --> 24:42.660
(laughing)

24:42.660 --> 24:46.180
- Mike, please go take care of your lovely bride

24:46.180 --> 24:47.343
and wonderful family.

24:47.730 --> 24:49.480
We will take care of the team here.

24:50.875 --> 24:53.125
(applause)

25:00.670 --> 25:02.820
There's no going back now General Nakasone.

25:03.340 --> 25:04.573
Here we go, okay.

25:05.200 --> 25:07.350
General Nakasone, today you become the primary

25:07.350 --> 25:09.553
guardian of our nation's cyber domain.

25:10.550 --> 25:12.770
Admiral Rogers has built capability

25:13.010 --> 25:17.140
and integration, your challenge is to build scale

25:17.910 --> 25:20.903
and to strengthen our arsenal of cyber weapons,

25:21.260 --> 25:24.053
cyber shields, and cyber warriors.

25:25.220 --> 25:29.360
With 31 years of preparation under your belt,

25:29.360 --> 25:31.900
including four tours here, one at Cyber Comm

25:31.900 --> 25:35.180
and three at NSA, you bring a wealth

25:35.180 --> 25:38.220
of practical experience as well as

25:38.220 --> 25:42.283
the proven ability to generate engagement and teamwork.

25:43.040 --> 25:45.230
Thank you for your contributions in defense

25:45.230 --> 25:48.070
of this nation and your service, and thank you

25:48.070 --> 25:49.883
for taking this assignment.

25:51.560 --> 25:53.950
Now, if it's okay, can I take a few minutes

25:53.950 --> 25:55.225
and talk to your family?

25:55.225 --> 25:56.058
- [General Nakasone] Please.

25:56.058 --> 25:56.963
- Okay, all right, good.

25:57.180 --> 26:01.613
Susan, this is no change of command for you.

26:02.380 --> 26:04.843
I know you've been in command all along.

26:05.186 --> 26:07.269
(laughing)

26:07.610 --> 26:10.090
I appreciate you signing up for this tour of duty

26:10.720 --> 26:12.773
and enabling your husband's success,

26:13.020 --> 26:14.373
thus protecting our nation.

26:16.073 --> 26:19.550
To your wonderful children, Sarah, Daniel,

26:19.550 --> 26:22.930
David, and Joseph, I ask you to support your father

26:22.930 --> 26:26.220
like he supports you when you're tackling something

26:26.220 --> 26:27.223
hard at school.

26:28.610 --> 26:31.083
Send your dad notes of encouragement.

26:31.810 --> 26:33.693
Give him a call, send him a text.

26:33.870 --> 26:35.003
Wash his car.

26:35.513 --> 26:37.410
(laughing)

26:37.410 --> 26:39.890
Providing him reminders of team Nakasone

26:39.890 --> 26:42.683
will help him keep his batteries charged.

26:44.040 --> 26:46.700
And also like to recognize and thank

26:47.190 --> 26:51.420
Edwin and Mary, General Nakasone's parents

26:51.420 --> 26:54.683
who've come out from Saint Paul, Minnesota.

26:55.916 --> 26:58.166
(applause)

27:05.895 --> 27:08.060
I asked General Nakasone, I said well,

27:08.060 --> 27:09.183
how old's your dad?

27:09.880 --> 27:12.693
And he said 91.

27:13.730 --> 27:16.613
I said well, does he still drive?

27:18.063 --> 27:20.440
And General Nakasone said yeah he went out

27:20.440 --> 27:21.990
and bought a new car this year.

27:22.531 --> 27:24.614
(laughing)

27:24.703 --> 27:26.253
We're so proud of your son.

27:26.990 --> 27:28.880
Can you believe that he would grow up

27:28.880 --> 27:32.223
to defend the nation and be this fearless warrior?

27:32.890 --> 27:35.373
Amazing, so thank you, thank you.

27:37.539 --> 27:39.789
(applause)

27:45.531 --> 27:49.948
And to the folks from Cyber Comm and NSA communities.

27:50.720 --> 27:52.910
You are at the cutting edge of the domain

27:52.910 --> 27:54.853
that will define the next century.

27:55.800 --> 27:57.203
I'll speak frankly.

27:57.770 --> 27:59.810
General Nakasone's success depends

27:59.810 --> 28:03.793
on your success, embrace his leadership.

28:04.830 --> 28:07.163
Fuel his passion for the job.

28:07.970 --> 28:09.663
Feed his spirit.

28:10.460 --> 28:13.353
Together you will create something magical.

28:14.840 --> 28:16.860
So in closing, General Nakasone,

28:16.860 --> 28:19.350
I'd like to share with you one of the favorite

28:19.500 --> 28:21.700
quotes my father shared with me and one that

28:22.730 --> 28:27.250
I've read many, many times in difficult jobs.

28:27.250 --> 28:29.970
I consider it the serenity prayer

28:29.990 --> 28:31.660
of difficult jobs and many of you

28:31.660 --> 28:35.090
have heard this quote before from Theodore Roosevelt,

28:35.090 --> 28:37.493
but I think it's appropriate.

28:38.830 --> 28:40.410
It is not the critic who counts,

28:40.410 --> 28:43.890
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles

28:44.880 --> 28:48.053
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

28:49.070 --> 28:52.923
The credit belongs to the man who's actually in the arena.

28:53.700 --> 28:57.713
Who's face is marred by dust and sweat and blood.

28:58.340 --> 29:02.770
Who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes up short

29:02.770 --> 29:07.030
again and again, because there is no effort without err

29:07.850 --> 29:11.320
and shortcoming, but who does actually strive

29:11.320 --> 29:14.870
to do the deeds, who knows great enthusiasms,

29:14.870 --> 29:18.180
the great devotions, who spins himself

29:18.180 --> 29:22.340
in a worthy cause, who, at the best knows,

29:22.340 --> 29:24.680
in the end the triumph of high achievement

29:25.440 --> 29:28.570
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails

29:29.200 --> 29:33.430
while daring greatly so that his place shall never be

29:33.430 --> 29:36.530
with those cold and timid souls who neither know

29:36.530 --> 29:38.693
victory nor defeat.

29:39.710 --> 29:42.880
General Nakasone, I can think of no better man

29:42.880 --> 29:44.413
to have in the arena than you.

29:45.220 --> 29:46.923
This will not be an easy job.

29:47.580 --> 29:48.860
But I look forward to working with you

29:48.860 --> 29:51.163
and witnessing all you will accomplish.

29:51.670 --> 29:54.003
God speed and God bless America.

29:54.700 --> 29:56.950
(applause)

30:07.821 --> 30:09.400
- Thank you Mr. Deputy Secretary.

30:09.400 --> 30:11.980
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Honorable Daniel R. Coats,

30:11.980 --> 30:13.773
Director of National Intelligence.

30:14.144 --> 30:16.394
(applause)

30:22.218 --> 30:24.620
- Well thank you very much for the honor to be here

30:24.620 --> 30:26.770
and representing the intelligence community

30:27.160 --> 30:31.740
on this momentous and important day

30:32.070 --> 30:34.610
when we see the stand up of a Cyber Command

30:35.980 --> 30:40.060
and also pay tribute to a leader who has given

30:40.060 --> 30:43.893
his career and his life to service for this country.

30:45.560 --> 30:48.600
I've had the pleasure and the honor

30:49.250 --> 30:53.323
of working with Admiral Rogers,

30:53.850 --> 30:56.370
as a Senator sitting on the Dias

30:56.940 --> 30:58.820
looking down and asking, trying to ask

30:58.820 --> 31:01.503
tough question, he had the answer to every one of them.

31:01.930 --> 31:03.753
And then now in my current role,

31:03.920 --> 31:07.030
sitting down below the dias as my former

31:07.030 --> 31:09.813
Senators ask those tough questions of me.

31:10.180 --> 31:11.810
Trust me, it's much better to be up there

31:11.810 --> 31:14.673
looking down, than down there looking up.

31:14.980 --> 31:16.370
I had one thing that saved me,

31:16.370 --> 31:18.763
because Mike Rogers was sitting next to me.

31:19.260 --> 31:20.810
I can't tell you how many times

31:20.810 --> 31:22.760
in a tough question related to NSA

31:22.760 --> 31:25.770
or a number of cyber issues or technical issues

31:25.770 --> 31:30.000
that are pretty complicated, as the question

31:30.000 --> 31:32.960
was being asked and then finished, you could probably

31:32.960 --> 31:34.990
see me, if it was broadcast, oh Mike

31:34.990 --> 31:36.290
you take this one will ya?

31:37.320 --> 31:38.760
I can't tell ya how many times I said

31:38.760 --> 31:40.260
Mike you better take this one.

31:41.320 --> 31:43.060
We worked together on a number of issues,

31:43.060 --> 31:46.000
none more important than the reauthorization

31:46.100 --> 31:48.400
of the legislation that would provide us

31:48.400 --> 31:52.020
access to find out what our foreign adversaries

31:52.020 --> 31:54.743
and enemies who were plotting against us.

31:55.452 --> 31:58.880
Virtually all that we got that was significant,

31:58.880 --> 32:00.930
some was contributed by a number of agencies

32:00.930 --> 32:03.363
but none more so than NSA.

32:03.830 --> 32:06.860
Mike had to sail through some tough waters

32:07.440 --> 32:09.713
and he did it as only a leader can do it.

32:10.700 --> 32:15.390
He led this agency back from a difficult situation

32:15.940 --> 32:19.250
to an absolutely essential agency doing tremendous

32:19.250 --> 32:22.220
work and providing the kind of intelligence

32:22.220 --> 32:25.093
that we need in order to keep our people safe.

32:25.260 --> 32:27.860
Mike, I can't thank you enough for your leadership,

32:27.860 --> 32:31.173
for all you've gone through, you're a tenacious worker,

32:31.520 --> 32:35.750
is that correct, Dana, you're gonna have to try

32:35.750 --> 32:38.663
to slow him down, I don't know how you're gonna do that.

32:39.380 --> 32:40.663
We weren't able to do it.

32:42.580 --> 32:45.413
But anyway, we are so grateful for your leadership.

32:45.740 --> 32:49.120
I'm so honored to have served with you

32:49.640 --> 32:52.540
and we wish you just nothing but the best

32:52.810 --> 32:54.890
in the future and do try to slow down

32:54.890 --> 32:55.763
a little bit.

32:56.790 --> 32:59.093
General Nakasone, congratulations to you.

32:59.400 --> 33:02.300
What an honor to be the first person

33:02.300 --> 33:06.220
to lead a new command, one that is absolutely essential

33:06.800 --> 33:09.063
in terms of how we protect our country.

33:10.004 --> 33:12.740
The challenge is large and is growing

33:12.740 --> 33:14.410
as we were talking earlier,

33:14.410 --> 33:16.983
expanding at a rapid pace.

33:17.720 --> 33:20.460
That's going to be very demanding for you

33:20.460 --> 33:24.490
and Susan and family, but you have been

33:25.170 --> 33:28.590
selected by your peers because they are confident

33:29.140 --> 33:34.140
in your ability to take the time from Admiral Rogers

33:34.860 --> 33:37.280
and move into the next generation here

33:37.380 --> 33:41.110
of how we deal with cyber, so we wish you well

33:41.110 --> 33:43.943
and God speed as you move forward into that.

33:44.570 --> 33:47.550
The Director of O&B wanted me to remind you

33:47.820 --> 33:50.340
that even though you are double hatted

33:50.640 --> 33:54.850
and serving two 24/7 jobs, you're only

33:54.850 --> 33:55.933
gonna get one salary.

33:57.046 --> 33:59.296
(laughing)

34:03.320 --> 34:04.153
Sorry.

34:07.300 --> 34:09.630
In any event, I think everyone in this room

34:10.920 --> 34:13.830
feels honored to be here today to say

34:14.920 --> 34:17.870
farewell, good bye, and well done faithful servant

34:18.230 --> 34:20.810
to Mike, and General to congratulate you

34:20.810 --> 34:22.830
and say we're gonna be standing with you

34:23.190 --> 34:26.700
all the way through as we move into this next chapter

34:27.559 --> 34:30.553
of dealing with cyber issues, serving,

34:32.720 --> 34:36.570
leading the NSA and I just can't tell you

34:36.570 --> 34:41.570
how much the country appreciates the former leadership

34:43.120 --> 34:45.703
and will appreciate the leadership to come.

34:45.840 --> 34:47.633
So welcome, congratulations.

34:47.830 --> 34:50.803
Admiral Rogers, thank you for your dedicated service.

34:51.280 --> 34:53.530
(applause)

35:04.429 --> 35:05.920
- Thank you Director Coats.

35:05.920 --> 35:09.070
Ladies and Gentlemen, Admiral Michael S Rogers,

35:09.070 --> 35:13.093
United States Navy, Commander, United States Cyber Command,

35:13.200 --> 35:16.500
Director, National Security Agency and Chief

35:16.760 --> 35:18.263
Central Security Service.

35:18.980 --> 35:21.160
(applause)

35:21.160 --> 35:22.647
- More titles, more titles.

35:25.537 --> 35:26.370
Woo hoo.

35:28.050 --> 35:29.550
Please, thank you all very, very much.

35:29.550 --> 35:31.100
Let me be up front with you.

35:31.100 --> 35:32.130
If I get a little emotional

35:32.130 --> 35:36.253
it's cause, quite frankly, I'm just overwhelmed with this.

35:36.500 --> 35:39.390
I think back first, I wanna say, add my thanks

35:39.390 --> 35:41.640
to those who have been previously recognized.

35:42.150 --> 35:45.983
I also wanna thank those who made this day possible.

35:46.210 --> 35:49.513
Not just this ceremony, for the band, the color guard,

35:50.250 --> 35:53.530
to the great sideboys that you saw, to protocol,

35:53.530 --> 35:55.753
to the men and women that put all this together.

35:56.610 --> 35:58.000
But I wanna thank those men and women

35:58.000 --> 36:01.763
years ago who aren't here today, who had this vision.

36:03.770 --> 36:06.170
The idea and the power of thought

36:06.770 --> 36:09.040
is something that is incredibly powerful

36:09.520 --> 36:11.983
and this room is a reflection, this building,

36:12.756 --> 36:14.373
is a reflection of that power.

36:15.240 --> 36:17.673
I also wanna very publicly thank Dana.

36:20.020 --> 36:23.233
As you've heard, I pride myself on driving myself.

36:24.870 --> 36:26.780
When your grandfather was a coal miner

36:26.780 --> 36:28.463
who went through Ellis Island,

36:28.660 --> 36:30.713
came to the United States as an immigrant,

36:30.713 --> 36:32.800
when your father worked, never went to college

36:32.800 --> 36:35.410
and worked four jobs as a kid when you were growing up,

36:35.410 --> 36:37.913
you know the power of hard work.

36:38.290 --> 36:40.683
And I've embraced that idea for my family.

36:40.780 --> 36:42.230
Father, I thank you for that.

36:42.750 --> 36:44.300
Dana has had to live with this.

36:44.704 --> 36:46.954
(laughing)

36:47.600 --> 36:49.340
But the thing that kept me going was the fact

36:49.340 --> 36:51.983
that I knew I always had somebody at home who loved me.

36:52.240 --> 36:53.840
I may not have been able to give her the time

36:53.840 --> 36:55.770
and attention that she deserved, many times

36:55.770 --> 36:58.323
she'd be asleep and I would just pat her.

36:59.360 --> 37:01.303
But Dana, I can't thank you enough.

37:01.920 --> 37:05.420
But Dana is representative of the families

37:05.420 --> 37:08.360
of this nation that serve, not just those military

37:08.360 --> 37:10.710
members and civilians at Cyber Command and NSA,

37:11.010 --> 37:12.660
but the families that power them.

37:13.020 --> 37:15.820
If you are the family member of somebody

37:15.820 --> 37:18.050
who's on team Cyber Command or team NSA,

37:18.050 --> 37:19.060
or you're the family member

37:19.060 --> 37:21.700
of somebody who is serving and has served

37:21.780 --> 37:23.470
in the Department of Defense, will you please

37:23.470 --> 37:24.463
stand for a minute?

37:27.200 --> 37:29.400
Come on there's a lot more of you out there.

37:29.899 --> 37:32.149
(applause)

37:39.646 --> 37:40.970
I just wanna say thank you.

37:40.970 --> 37:42.410
Now one of the reasons I'm overwhelmed

37:42.410 --> 37:44.110
is I think back to four years ago.

37:44.480 --> 37:46.490
General Alexander retired one week,

37:46.490 --> 37:48.233
I was not confirmed in time.

37:48.670 --> 37:50.520
Had a great party that weekend with my family,

37:50.520 --> 37:52.500
they came in but said hey apologize,

37:52.500 --> 37:54.600
it doesn't look like it's coming together.

37:55.610 --> 37:57.520
The next week, typical, on a Monday night

37:57.520 --> 37:59.040
get confirmed, hey Rogers you gotta

37:59.040 --> 38:00.217
turn over, you get out at Fleet Cyber

38:00.217 --> 38:03.867
and you gotta get over to Cyber Command at NSA.

38:04.300 --> 38:06.523
So literally here at Ft. Meade, Ops three,

38:07.200 --> 38:09.223
turn over my own responsibilities,

38:09.670 --> 38:11.460
grab my briefcase, get in my Honda Civic,

38:11.460 --> 38:15.030
drive the quarter mile over to Ops two B,

38:15.030 --> 38:16.850
walk up and there's the Deputy Director

38:16.850 --> 38:19.480
and there's the Deputy Commander at Cyber Command

38:19.810 --> 38:21.970
and the three of us just shake hands

38:22.190 --> 38:23.330
and that's our turn over.

38:23.330 --> 38:24.990
Hey, let's strap this on and let's see

38:24.990 --> 38:25.823
where we can go.

38:26.230 --> 38:27.760
And I look in this room and I see all of you

38:27.760 --> 38:30.860
and I think wow, have we come a long way

38:31.200 --> 38:32.363
in four years.

38:33.040 --> 38:34.670
To the men and women of Cyber Command

38:34.670 --> 38:37.363
and not just Cyber Command, the components,

38:37.400 --> 38:40.210
our teammates, our partners, those who power

38:40.210 --> 38:42.163
this Cyber enterprise.

38:43.570 --> 38:45.060
I wanna say thank you for what you've done

38:45.060 --> 38:46.323
over the last four years.

38:47.030 --> 38:51.593
Four years ago, we were handed a structure and a plan.

38:52.380 --> 38:54.830
Our job was to take that structure and that plan,

38:54.960 --> 38:58.040
build it out, create a vision, operationalize

38:58.040 --> 38:59.963
this idea and ensure that it was integrated

38:59.963 --> 39:01.510
into the broader set of activities

39:01.510 --> 39:03.410
executed by the Department of Defense.

39:04.140 --> 39:06.090
And while doing this, increase the defense

39:06.090 --> 39:08.980
ability of the Department of Defense information networks,

39:08.980 --> 39:11.090
think about how we're gonna safeguard its weapons,

39:11.090 --> 39:13.433
its systems, its platforms, its data.

39:14.640 --> 39:15.990
Think about how we're gonna generate more

39:15.990 --> 39:17.570
offensive capabilities designed to give

39:17.570 --> 39:19.500
our policy makers and our operational commanders

39:19.500 --> 39:24.500
a greater range of options, and with all of that,

39:25.140 --> 39:27.970
18 months ago, we say we're gonna take on Isis

39:27.970 --> 39:30.470
as our first real challenge on the offensive side.

39:31.190 --> 39:32.520
You think about what we've done there.

39:32.520 --> 39:33.900
Taking them on at the battlefields

39:33.900 --> 39:36.110
of Syria and Iraq, the things we've done

39:36.110 --> 39:38.860
that we're not gonna get into in the information arena.

39:39.230 --> 39:41.170
I know what you've done, the leadership of this nation

39:41.170 --> 39:43.520
knows what you have done, the leadership of this department

39:43.520 --> 39:44.770
knows what you have done.

39:44.910 --> 39:46.973
It is a reflection of this organization,

39:47.570 --> 39:49.530
the Department of Defense and this government's

39:49.530 --> 39:51.710
belief in you, that we will elevate Cyber Command

39:51.710 --> 39:54.290
to a combatant commander, as General Nakasone

39:54.290 --> 39:55.513
assumes his role.

39:56.020 --> 39:59.590
That is a testament to you and everything that you have done

40:00.150 --> 40:02.403
and I, and the nation, thank you for that.

40:02.760 --> 40:05.360
General Nakasone will be an inspired leader for you.

40:05.410 --> 40:07.253
He will take this even further.

40:07.710 --> 40:09.703
Because I agree with the Dep Sec Def,

40:09.910 --> 40:12.820
we got a great vision, I think, we got a great way forward.

40:12.820 --> 40:14.790
Now it's about how do we generate capacity

40:14.790 --> 40:16.950
on a global scale and that will bring its own

40:16.950 --> 40:19.240
set of challenges, but I know that you are up

40:19.240 --> 40:20.153
to that challenge.

40:20.760 --> 40:22.860
To the men and women of the National Security Agency

40:22.860 --> 40:24.850
and the Service Cryptologic Elements,

40:24.850 --> 40:27.893
and the broader global sigenth enterprise,

40:28.910 --> 40:31.010
thank you for what you do for this nation.

40:31.720 --> 40:34.573
We have had a challenging time in the past four years.

40:34.690 --> 40:36.430
I can remember one time sitting there talking

40:36.430 --> 40:39.840
to the leadership team at NSA, as we were thinking

40:39.840 --> 40:42.270
to ourselves, how are we gonna deal with some of this

40:42.860 --> 40:44.920
and I'm a big, as my family knows, I love movies

40:44.920 --> 40:46.560
and I love music, and one of the things that struck

40:46.560 --> 40:50.880
me was Apollo 13, when people are saying

40:50.880 --> 40:52.900
Oh this is terrible, we're gonna lose the crew,

40:52.900 --> 40:56.880
we're gonna lose the mission and the then Mission Commander

40:57.490 --> 40:59.940
turns to the group and says this will not be

40:59.940 --> 41:02.630
our worst day, this will be our best day

41:03.030 --> 41:04.760
because we will not define ourselves

41:04.760 --> 41:07.260
by adversity but we will define ourselves

41:07.260 --> 41:10.120
how a group of motivated men and women come together

41:10.130 --> 41:12.140
to make a difference for this nation, our friends,

41:12.140 --> 41:13.003
and are allies.

41:13.430 --> 41:15.933
You have done that in spades.

41:16.660 --> 41:19.250
This nation entrusts us with an amazing

41:19.250 --> 41:20.703
set of capabilities.

41:21.170 --> 41:24.253
We are given access to data of incredible sensitivity.

41:24.650 --> 41:26.720
We must continue to safeguard that,

41:26.720 --> 41:28.370
ensure the appropriate security

41:28.540 --> 41:31.793
and remember the trust the nation places is us.

41:32.180 --> 41:34.010
We execute our critical mission

41:34.010 --> 41:36.800
of foreign intelligence and cybersecurity at NSA

41:37.160 --> 41:39.930
within a legal framework and a set of policies

41:39.930 --> 41:41.703
that we follow to the letter.

41:42.150 --> 41:43.673
That is our strength.

41:43.840 --> 41:46.210
That is what generates the confidence

41:46.210 --> 41:49.320
of this nation that these many resources

41:49.320 --> 41:51.340
that are granted to us are being used

41:51.340 --> 41:54.050
appropriately, wisely, and in the best interest

41:54.050 --> 41:56.850
of the citizens we serve and I am proud,

41:56.850 --> 41:59.113
as I look back, as I think to myself today,

41:59.240 --> 42:00.743
I am both happy and proud.

42:01.060 --> 42:03.560
Happy because I feel hey I have pushed myself

42:03.690 --> 42:05.430
and the two organizations, the two teams

42:05.430 --> 42:07.480
that I have been a part of, are in a better place

42:07.480 --> 42:09.583
today than we were when we started.

42:09.950 --> 42:12.060
And I look forward to the day, years from now,

42:12.060 --> 42:13.700
General Nakasone will be standing here

42:13.700 --> 42:16.020
in front of an audience and he too will say

42:16.020 --> 42:19.000
I feel proud because the two organizations I leave

42:19.100 --> 42:21.713
are in a better place now, than when I got there.

42:21.950 --> 42:23.900
I look forward to seeing where that run,

42:23.900 --> 42:26.393
where that challenge is gonna take all of you.

42:26.920 --> 42:29.260
I thank you for who you are and what you do

42:29.260 --> 42:31.803
and I look forward to watching that journey.

42:32.420 --> 42:34.793
You have a great leader coming today.

42:35.290 --> 42:39.200
Serve him well and remember what it is that we do.

42:39.200 --> 42:41.600
We serve the citizens of this nation

42:41.600 --> 42:43.800
and our friends and allies around the world.

42:44.260 --> 42:47.263
And we never, never violate that trust.

42:47.720 --> 42:49.943
And we always remember what we are about.

42:50.010 --> 42:51.610
And that doesn't matter if you're a part

42:51.610 --> 42:53.743
of Cyber Command or you're part of NSA.

42:54.380 --> 42:56.250
Lastly, let me also specifically thank

42:56.250 --> 42:58.130
Chairman Joe Dunford for being, and Ellen,

42:58.130 --> 42:59.580
for being here with us today.

43:00.080 --> 43:01.560
You know, when you serve at this level,

43:01.560 --> 43:03.440
my teammates in the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

43:03.440 --> 43:06.630
Combatant Commanders, you get to see a side

43:06.630 --> 43:08.740
of it sometimes where you see this from the inside

43:08.740 --> 43:10.770
and you realize wow, how hard is this.

43:10.770 --> 43:12.740
These men and women who are willing

43:12.740 --> 43:15.820
to take on these amazing responsibilities

43:15.820 --> 43:18.203
and to just do it tirelessly.

43:19.340 --> 43:21.640
And Joe and I, many instances, I can remember calling,

43:21.640 --> 43:24.093
talking to him, some things that hopefully,

43:24.620 --> 43:27.320
neither of us writes the book will ever become public.

43:27.702 --> 43:29.530
(laughing)

43:29.530 --> 43:31.960
But on the other hand, I was always blessed,

43:31.960 --> 43:33.793
no matter how tough things got.

43:33.970 --> 43:36.640
No matter how, quite frankly, inaccurate

43:36.640 --> 43:38.690
some of the stuff I'm reading and seeing.

43:38.720 --> 43:41.530
I always knew that I had a Chairman who had my back

43:41.530 --> 43:44.580
who I loved talking to because he always was honest

43:44.580 --> 43:45.413
and straight.

43:45.590 --> 43:48.090
Joe I just wanna say thanks so much for who you are

43:48.090 --> 43:50.523
and what you do every day for this nation.

43:51.167 --> 43:53.417
(applause)

44:01.350 --> 44:02.747
With that, I'm often asked, So Rogers what are

44:02.747 --> 44:03.930
you gonna do?

44:03.930 --> 44:05.590
Well let me tell you, priority number one,

44:05.590 --> 44:07.453
I have got to get some sleep.

44:07.950 --> 44:09.580
(laughing)

44:09.580 --> 44:11.050
As I'm laying in bed last night,

44:11.050 --> 44:13.500
literally, Dana says to me, so what do you think?

44:13.503 --> 44:16.403
You know you got less than 24 hours of responsibility left

44:16.445 --> 44:18.230
and I said, man we're gonna run through the tape.

44:18.230 --> 44:20.923
Little did I know, two hours later the phone calls.

44:21.620 --> 44:24.270
I reach out, looked at it, unlisted number,

44:24.270 --> 44:26.423
and I'm going okay I know this is work.

44:26.750 --> 44:28.880
Talked to work, hey Sir we need to talk.

44:28.880 --> 44:31.323
Okay no sweat, I'll get my clothes,

44:31.417 --> 44:33.250
I'll be down in the vault, I'll be up

44:33.250 --> 44:36.330
and so I'm thinking to myself, boy these jobs

44:36.330 --> 44:37.983
just don't wanna let go.

44:39.420 --> 44:41.810
And I'm still reminded as the team reminded me

44:41.810 --> 44:43.180
earlier this morning, hey remember,

44:43.180 --> 44:45.300
you still have one more congressional testimony, Sir,

44:45.300 --> 44:49.663
before you leave, so, but it'll soon be over.

44:50.010 --> 44:52.370
But thank you all very, very much for who you are

44:52.370 --> 44:54.270
and what you do and the one thing that unites

44:54.270 --> 44:56.003
everybody, finally, in this room.

44:56.520 --> 44:59.594
Whether you're US, you're part of the coalition team,

44:59.594 --> 45:03.723
we all have dedicated ourselves, uniformed, civilian,

45:03.770 --> 45:07.053
active, reserve, officer, enlisted, it doesn't matter.

45:07.500 --> 45:09.830
Every one of us in this room has dedicated ourselves

45:09.830 --> 45:12.180
to the idea that we are part of something bigger

45:12.180 --> 45:15.393
than ourselves and that is an amazing thing.

45:16.570 --> 45:18.533
Don't ever take that for granted.

45:19.363 --> 45:21.480
Okay, and with that I thank you all very, very much.

45:21.480 --> 45:22.687
God speed to all of you.

45:22.951 --> 45:25.201
(applause)

45:57.940 --> 45:59.290
- Thank you Admiral Rogers.

45:59.710 --> 46:01.370

Admiral Michael S. Rogers. United States Navy

The outgoing Commander then relinquishes his Command

47:07.030 --> 47:09.823
by passing the flag to the presiding Officer.

47:13.460 --> 47:15.800

47:15.800 --> 47:18.760
and with it, the responsibility of Command

47:18.770 --> 47:20.263
to the incoming Commander.

47:22.980 --> 47:24.990
Today, the passing of this flag

47:24.990 --> 47:27.423
has additional special significance.

47:27.730 --> 47:29.885
This passing of the flag marks the elevation

47:29.885 --> 47:32.970
of United States Cyber Command from a subordinate

47:32.970 --> 47:35.723

47:52.410 --> 47:55.000
The process is complete when the new Commander

returns the flag to the Command Senior Enlisted Leader

47:57.940 --> 48:00.123

48:12.161 --> 48:14.411
(applause)

48:21.760 --> 48:23.413

48:27.090 --> 48:29.210

49:13.600 --> 49:15.660
Once again, the custodian of the flag

49:15.660 --> 49:18.220
is Master Gunnery Sergeant Scott H. Stalker

49:18.230 --> 49:19.683
United States Marine Corps,

49:19.770 --> 49:21.653
the agency's Senior Enlisted Leader.

At this time Master Gunnery Sergeant Stalker

49:24.240 --> 49:27.513
passes the flag to the outgoing Director for the last time.

The outgoing Director then relinquishes his responsibility

49:36.760 --> 49:39.163
by passing the flag to the presiding Officer.

49:47.830 --> 49:50.050
The presiding Officer then passes the flag

49:58.000 --> 50:00.030
The time honored process is complete

50:00.030 --> 50:02.280
when the new Director returns the flag

50:02.430 --> 50:04.410
to the agency Senior Enlisted Leader

50:04.420 --> 50:06.333
as the custodian of the flag.

50:16.787 --> 50:19.037
(applause)

50:35.220 --> 50:37.420
Thank you Director Coats and Admiral Rogers.

50:52.530 --> 50:54.480
Ladies and Gentlemen, please be seated.

I present the Commander, United States Cyber Command,

51:25.320 --> 51:27.040
- Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,

51:27.040 --> 51:28.143
thank you so much.

51:29.540 --> 51:31.866
On behalf of the men and women of US Cyber Command

51:31.866 --> 51:34.543
and the National Security Agency, welcome.

51:34.660 --> 51:36.190
We are honored and pleased that you would

51:36.190 --> 51:38.890
spend this afternoon with us on this very special day.

51:39.900 --> 51:42.040
Now I must publicly admit that I am from

51:42.040 --> 51:45.493
a service with a long and well worn traditions.

51:45.670 --> 51:48.220
Perhaps none more significant that the new guy

51:48.730 --> 51:50.450
at a Change of Command Ceremony

51:51.130 --> 51:52.830
should keep his remarks very short

51:53.660 --> 51:56.023
and ensure an early start to the reception.

51:57.950 --> 51:59.240
Although some of you may think

51:59.240 --> 52:01.023
that I'm gonna buck this tradition,

52:01.460 --> 52:02.953
I assure you, I'm not.

52:03.720 --> 52:05.880
More importantly, I was counseled by several

52:05.880 --> 52:10.283
who wish to remain anonymous that offered this advice.

52:10.930 --> 52:12.903
Keep it short, Dad.

52:13.463 --> 52:15.713
(laughing)

52:18.220 --> 52:19.700
So for the many distinguished guests,

52:19.700 --> 52:20.883
thank you very much.

52:22.180 --> 52:23.950
To Secretary Mattis who couldn't be here today.

52:23.950 --> 52:27.043
To Director Coats, obviously Secretary Shanahan,

52:27.970 --> 52:30.660
General Dunford, thank you so much for the trust

52:30.660 --> 52:31.970
and confidence you've placed in me

52:31.970 --> 52:33.110
to lead these two organizations.

52:33.110 --> 52:35.410
I look forward to this tremendous opportunity.

52:36.000 --> 52:39.943
To Admiral Mike Rogers, Outgoing Commander and Director,

52:40.570 --> 52:42.733
a tremendous leader to both organizations.

52:43.610 --> 52:47.323
Former boss, congratulations to both you and Dana,

52:47.430 --> 52:49.563
to your family, on a tremendous career.

52:50.290 --> 52:52.560
We are just thoroughly pleased to have had

52:52.560 --> 52:55.580
the association with you and really pleased

52:55.580 --> 52:57.200
as you start your next life together.

52:57.200 --> 52:59.383
Thank you so much for your service to our country.

52:59.534 --> 53:01.784
(applause)

53:07.550 --> 53:09.710
To my family and friends from Hawaii,

53:09.710 --> 53:11.560
to Minnesota, to Maryland, to Virginia,

53:11.560 --> 53:14.260
and places in between, thank you for joining us today.

53:14.690 --> 53:16.550
To Susan, Sarah, Daniel, David, and Joseph,

53:16.550 --> 53:18.790
thank you for all that you've made this day

53:18.810 --> 53:20.933
possible, thank you so very, very much.

53:21.250 --> 53:23.513
And finally to those behind the scenes,

53:23.660 --> 53:26.090
fershings own, to the people that helped me

53:26.090 --> 53:28.485
with my confirmation preparation, my tireless

53:28.485 --> 53:30.537
front office and the great Cyber Comm

53:30.537 --> 53:33.920
and NSA protocol teams who worked incredibly

53:33.920 --> 53:36.700
long hours, thank you so much for your

53:36.700 --> 53:39.713
on again off again approach to this ceremony.

53:39.780 --> 53:42.780
Your approach to what was last Friday,

53:42.780 --> 53:45.730
what became this Friday, my sincerest thanks

53:45.730 --> 53:46.763
for a job well done.

53:47.281 --> 53:49.531
(applause)

53:53.370 --> 53:55.190
So ladies and gentlemen, while today marks

53:55.190 --> 53:57.740
a day of change, it's also a day of new beginnings.

53:57.990 --> 54:00.770
Of our new partnerships and of our enduring commitment

54:00.820 --> 54:02.270
to the defense of our nation.

54:02.780 --> 54:04.333
First, this is a new beginning.

54:04.770 --> 54:06.530
Today we start writing the opening chapter

54:06.530 --> 54:09.480
for US Cyber Command, as our nation's newest

54:09.480 --> 54:10.973
Unified Combatant Command.

54:11.250 --> 54:13.410
From Defensive Operations protecting our networks

54:13.410 --> 54:15.730
to Offensive Operations against Isis

54:15.740 --> 54:19.333
and other adversaries, Cyber Comm has matured rapidly.

54:20.060 --> 54:22.780
Our team now has both a challenge, and more importantly,

54:22.780 --> 54:25.420
the opportunity to build a Combatant Command

54:25.420 --> 54:26.453
from the ground up.

54:27.940 --> 54:29.510
The Elevation today marks a proud day

54:29.510 --> 54:31.283
for Cyber Comm and the nation.

54:32.290 --> 54:33.900
And I am fortunate to be here to lead you

54:33.900 --> 54:36.443
into this next chapter of our great history.

54:37.750 --> 54:39.753
New beginnings are also evident.

54:40.140 --> 54:42.640
In this building we find ourselves this afternoon,

54:43.050 --> 54:45.160
the newly constructed integrated Cyber Center

54:45.160 --> 54:47.130
has been designed as a nerve center

54:47.130 --> 54:49.980
for critical national security cyberspace missions,

54:49.980 --> 54:53.523
tying together two powerful national organizations.

54:54.400 --> 54:57.313
The National Security Agency and US Cyber Command.

54:57.710 --> 55:00.590
These connected buildings provide real time

55:00.590 --> 55:02.590
coordination symbolic of the partnership

55:03.100 --> 55:04.810
between two great organizations who track

55:04.810 --> 55:07.453
our adversaries, provide warning,

55:08.020 --> 55:09.920
and if called upon, defend the nation.

55:10.930 --> 55:13.253
Today is also about renewed partnerships.

55:13.490 --> 55:14.690
For the talented men and women

55:14.690 --> 55:17.290
of the National Security Agency, this is a new day

55:17.290 --> 55:19.920
for us as well, along with Cyber Command,

55:19.920 --> 55:22.550
we face similar challenges of adaptive adversaries

55:23.740 --> 55:27.307
and dynamic technologies that demand all we have before.

55:28.219 --> 55:31.600
NSA will continue our unfailing role as a vital

55:31.900 --> 55:36.003
combat support agencies to our nations military forces.

55:36.400 --> 55:39.390
We'll also continue to be the elite foreign signals

55:39.390 --> 55:41.363
intelligence produce across the globe,

55:41.420 --> 55:44.063
coupled with our closest partners and allies,

55:44.440 --> 55:46.819
we're an irreplaceable cornerstone

55:46.819 --> 55:48.553
of our intelligence community.

55:49.970 --> 55:51.570
And we'll continue to evolve together.

55:51.570 --> 55:54.183
NSA's greatest strength has always been it's people.

55:54.240 --> 55:56.810
Our people bring innovation and adaptedness.

55:56.810 --> 55:59.677
NSA's agility and ability to solve the unsolvable

55:59.677 --> 56:01.850
challenges are more critical than ever

56:02.080 --> 56:04.863
and perhaps our mission has never been more demanding.

56:05.930 --> 56:08.760
But we are up to this task, much as this agency

56:08.780 --> 56:10.543
has always been up to the task.

56:10.950 --> 56:12.490
I'm equally proud to be leading you

56:12.490 --> 56:14.240
in this new chapter of our history.

56:14.810 --> 56:16.510
Finally, we are all here today

56:16.510 --> 56:18.010
because of a shared commitment

56:18.610 --> 56:20.060
to the defense of our nation.

56:20.510 --> 56:22.890
We are at a unique point in our history

56:22.890 --> 56:24.760
where in cyberspace, we are confronted with both

56:24.760 --> 56:27.880
rapidly changing technology and adversaries

56:27.880 --> 56:29.260
that would seek to threaten this country

56:29.260 --> 56:31.003
in new and unprecedented ways.

56:31.920 --> 56:34.170
Earlier this year, the Department of Defense

56:34.170 --> 56:36.170
published our National Defense Strategy.

56:36.370 --> 56:37.770
To both the Agency and the Command,

56:37.770 --> 56:39.430
what our Department expects of us

56:39.670 --> 56:41.443
and what we will deliver is,

56:41.960 --> 56:43.660
a commitment to defend our nation,

56:44.340 --> 56:46.253
wherever and whenever it needs us.

56:46.583 --> 56:48.290
A ready and formidable cyber force

56:48.290 --> 56:50.803
with global and dominant capabilities.

56:51.460 --> 56:52.890
Unrivaled intelligence support

56:52.890 --> 56:55.670
to national leaders, government partners,

56:55.670 --> 56:57.053
and military commanders.

56:58.100 --> 56:59.900
To forge ahead with new partnerships

57:00.960 --> 57:02.390
and the efficient use of our resources

57:02.390 --> 57:06.253
that Congress has entrusted with to operative force.

57:07.440 --> 57:09.260
So standing in front of the men and women

57:09.260 --> 57:10.990
of NSA and Cyber Comm today, I think about

57:10.990 --> 57:13.430
how well poised we are to step

57:13.430 --> 57:15.580
into the demands this strategy lays out

57:15.580 --> 57:18.730
for us, in this moment, we must look

57:18.730 --> 57:20.470
beyond our past accomplishments,

57:20.470 --> 57:22.390
we must deliver results and we must continue

57:22.390 --> 57:25.280
the trailblazing path of this great workforce

57:26.230 --> 57:28.260
that has earned admiration across the country

57:28.260 --> 57:29.333
and around the world.

57:30.210 --> 57:32.090
Ladies and Gentlemen, for US Cyber Command

57:32.090 --> 57:33.793
and the National Security Agency,

57:34.030 --> 57:36.330
today is just the start of our new beginnings.

57:36.550 --> 57:39.230
of our renewed partnerships and our enduring commitment

57:39.230 --> 57:40.680
to the defense of our nation.

57:41.130 --> 57:43.920
It's a demanding but exciting journey

57:43.920 --> 57:44.970
we'll be on together.

57:45.510 --> 57:47.210
We wouldn't want it any other way.

57:47.450 --> 57:49.200
Thanks, thanks for attending today.

57:50.144 --> 57:52.394
(applause)

58:04.645 --> 58:05.717
- Thank you General Nakasone.

58:05.717 --> 58:07.560
The United States Army Field Band

58:07.560 --> 58:09.420
will now play the special march

58:09.420 --> 58:11.060
written by one of their musicians,

58:11.060 --> 58:14.123
Staff Sergeant J.G. Miller, United States Army.

58:14.570 --> 58:15.920
He wrote it during the early days

58:15.920 --> 58:17.603
of United States Cyber Command,

58:17.810 --> 58:19.440
the march follows some of the traditions

58:19.440 --> 58:21.810
of John Phillip Sousa and then digresses

58:21.810 --> 58:24.500
from tradition symbolizing the changing environment

58:24.740 --> 58:26.693
of today's complex battlefields.

58:27.120 --> 58:28.870
The most meaningful aspects of the piece

58:28.870 --> 58:31.540
are two short and coded messages of support

58:31.740 --> 58:33.993
woven into the fabric of the piece itself.

58:34.180 --> 58:36.570
Messages intended to provide a musical honor

58:36.730 --> 58:38.410
to the thousands of men and women

58:38.590 --> 58:41.580
who work tirelessly to keep our freedom safe

58:41.850 --> 58:44.913
in the ever changing battlefield of cyberspace.

58:45.290 --> 58:47.890
Men and women who's work is often unrecognized

58:48.120 --> 58:49.933
by those they protect.

58:54.961 --> 58:58.794
(upbeat military style music)

01:01:14.286 --> 01:01:16.536
(applause)

01:01:25.740 --> 01:01:27.280
- Ladies and Gentlemen, please stand

01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:29.000
for a medley of service songs

01:01:29.250 --> 01:01:31.250
and the departure of the official party.

01:01:33.948 --> 01:01:36.781
(military medley)

01:04:56.069 --> 01:04:58.319

01:05:10.198 --> 01:05:12.615
Boatswain, post the sideboys.

01:05:12.742 --> 01:05:14.425
- [Boatswain] Aye Aye, Sir.

01:05:14.425 --> 01:05:16.008

Boatswain, dismiss the sideboys.

01:08:07.890 --> 01:08:09.240
- [Boatswain] Aye Aye, Sir.

01:08:13.945 --> 01:08:15.853
- [Mike] It's a little ahead of this trip.

01:08:15.853 --> 01:08:17.167
(laughing)

01:08:17.370 --> 01:08:19.620

01:08:43.730 --> 01:08:46.463
- Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes our ceremony.

01:08:46.890 --> 01:08:48.800
On behalf of Admiral and Mrs. Rogers,

01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:51.080
and General and Mrs. Nakasone, thank you

01:08:51.080 --> 01:08:52.633
for attending today's ceremony.

01:08:52.870 --> 01:08:54.210
Please join us for a reception

01:08:54.210 --> 01:08:56.787
hosted by General and Mrs. Nakasone.

01:08:58.896 --> 01:09:02.063
(Yankee Doodle Dandy)

01:09:03.228 --> 01:09:05.978
(military music)

01:09:51.467 --> 01:09:52.884
- Good afternoon.

01:09:57.057 --> 01:09:59.007
Welcome to the Integrated Cyber Center.

01:09:59.710 --> 01:10:00.683
Admiral Rogers.

01:10:02.632 --> 01:10:04.882
(applause)

01:10:09.620 --> 01:10:13.173
Family members and friends, welcome today.

01:10:13.390 --> 01:10:15.750
We're honored today to have the opportunity

01:10:15.750 --> 01:10:18.570
to open the new Integrated Cyber Center

01:10:18.570 --> 01:10:21.003
that soon many of you are going to see.

01:10:21.510 --> 01:10:24.160
This has been a partnership, a very close partnership

01:10:24.166 --> 01:10:28.040
of a lot of folks, and I won't take much

01:10:28.040 --> 01:10:28.950
of Admiral Rogers' time.

01:10:28.950 --> 01:10:33.950
The US Army Core of Engineers Baltimore District,

01:10:34.717 --> 01:10:38.403
Colonel Ed Chamberlain who's the Commander,

01:10:38.570 --> 01:10:41.040
Dara Van Lou who is our Program Manager

01:10:41.040 --> 01:10:45.510
out here, and all of our military construction team

01:10:45.998 --> 01:10:50.940
working out here with Hensel Phelps who built

01:10:50.960 --> 01:10:53.610
this half of the building, Walsh Federal Construction

01:10:53.610 --> 01:10:55.660
who built the other half of the building.

01:10:56.528 --> 01:10:58.583
A.E. Kong who designed the building.

01:10:58.900 --> 01:11:01.010
This is a unique project, we built this

01:11:01.010 --> 01:11:03.570
as two separate buildings, we started the one

01:11:03.570 --> 01:11:06.893
to my left first, and finished the one to my right.

01:11:07.440 --> 01:11:10.030
And I usually tell a lot of facts about the building

01:11:10.030 --> 01:11:12.833
that I won't tell that much, but some tidbits,

01:11:12.860 --> 01:11:14.430
you're standing under a veil.

01:11:14.430 --> 01:11:16.300
As you go outside, if you look, you'll see

01:11:16.300 --> 01:11:20.110
some exposed beams that represents unveiling

01:11:20.214 --> 01:11:25.214
the Cyber Command and the NSA Integrated Cybercenter.

01:11:25.730 --> 01:11:29.300
You see, behind me is going to be the Joint Operations

01:11:29.300 --> 01:11:32.830
Center, or the watch floor, all the lines on the floor

01:11:33.060 --> 01:11:36.400
emanate out from that and carry into the courtyard

01:11:36.400 --> 01:11:38.623
because that's the center of Operations.

01:11:38.880 --> 01:11:42.630
Shielded symbolically in copper because

01:11:42.630 --> 01:11:45.450
in previous days, that's how we protected

01:11:45.450 --> 01:11:48.143
our buildings from emanations, from computers,

01:11:48.370 --> 01:11:50.590
and communications that would go off

01:11:50.590 --> 01:11:51.470
of the building.

01:11:51.470 --> 01:11:53.210
The buildings you see on our other campus

01:11:53.210 --> 01:11:54.830
are shielded in copper, this one's not.

01:11:54.830 --> 01:11:56.610
I can't tell you what it's shielded in ,

01:11:56.610 --> 01:11:58.640
but that's okay you don't need to know.

01:11:59.038 --> 01:12:01.288
(laughing)

01:12:03.153 --> 01:12:05.040
The other thing I'd like you to see

01:12:05.040 --> 01:12:08.263
when you go inside is the ceiling of the watch floor,

01:12:08.384 --> 01:12:12.230
it is symbolic of heartbeats emanating out

01:12:12.230 --> 01:12:13.880
from the center of the watch floor.

01:12:13.880 --> 01:12:16.173
So this is the building where we're gonna,

01:12:16.289 --> 01:12:18.920
it's gonna play a big role in the operations

01:12:18.920 --> 01:12:19.753
for the future.

01:12:20.860 --> 01:12:22.860
So at this time, I'd like to introduce

01:12:23.740 --> 01:12:25.770
someone who's been a key vision

01:12:25.770 --> 01:12:29.710
for not just this building, but the entire campus.

01:12:29.710 --> 01:12:32.410
He's spent as much time out here on the campus

01:12:32.410 --> 01:12:33.853
with me as I have.

01:12:34.780 --> 01:12:38.580
We've spent a lot of time walking

01:12:38.600 --> 01:12:40.620
up and down the campus looking at the buildings,

01:12:40.620 --> 01:12:42.790
looking at the construction and Admiral Rogers

01:12:42.790 --> 01:12:44.837
has always been the vision behind this.

01:12:44.837 --> 01:12:48.070
I have a picture, I'm gonna tell that story anyway.

01:12:48.070 --> 01:12:50.450
I have a picture hanging on my wall

01:12:50.680 --> 01:12:53.890
of me and Admiral Rogers on the fourth floor

01:12:53.890 --> 01:12:55.980
of this building overlooking the campus

01:12:56.080 --> 01:12:58.370
and everyone following talking about

01:12:58.370 --> 01:13:00.343
where we were gonna put buildings.

01:13:01.330 --> 01:13:03.390
Actually it was the day after Auburn beat

01:13:03.830 --> 01:13:08.373
Georgia, but Georgia was number one but they beat them.

01:13:08.500 --> 01:13:10.380
And so we were talking about the Auburn Georgia game

01:13:10.380 --> 01:13:12.020
and then all of a sudden, Chief of Staff

01:13:12.020 --> 01:13:16.177
General and we caught him out of the corner

01:13:16.211 --> 01:13:17.440
of our eye, Admiral Rogers say we'll put it

01:13:17.440 --> 01:13:18.273
over there.

01:13:19.127 --> 01:13:21.120
(laughing)

01:13:21.120 --> 01:13:24.863
So without further ado, Admiral Michael Rogers.

01:13:25.915 --> 01:13:28.165
(applause)

01:13:37.597 --> 01:13:40.510
- Well today is a great day because it reflects

01:13:40.510 --> 01:13:44.320
the completion of a vision that literally

01:13:44.320 --> 01:13:45.453
started years ago.

01:13:45.820 --> 01:13:47.670
And that many of us who do this work today

01:13:47.670 --> 01:13:49.153
as members of the United States Cyber Command

01:13:49.153 --> 01:13:51.870
and the National Security Agency try to carry on

01:13:51.870 --> 01:13:54.420
the legacy of the men and women who came before us.

01:13:54.520 --> 01:13:57.083
And their legacy is reflected in this building.

01:13:57.520 --> 01:14:00.230
So as you walked up, you saw that what this area,

01:14:00.230 --> 01:14:03.280
we call the East Campus, is the future where

01:14:03.280 --> 01:14:06.000
you're gonna see us representing multiple structures,

01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:08.060
multiple capabilities, right across the street

01:14:08.060 --> 01:14:09.620
is a brand new building, it will be opening

01:14:09.620 --> 01:14:12.680
within the next 60 days where Marine Forces Cyber

01:14:12.680 --> 01:14:14.233
will be operating from.

01:14:14.500 --> 01:14:17.833
There's only growth in here.

01:14:18.500 --> 01:14:20.403
There's growth out here for a reason.

01:14:20.820 --> 01:14:22.850
Because our nation believes in the importance

01:14:22.850 --> 01:14:26.580
of cyber intelligence and it is willing to commit

01:14:26.580 --> 01:14:29.840
our citizens hard earned resources to do it

01:14:30.490 --> 01:14:33.563
and at Cyber Command and at NSA we don't take that lightly.

01:14:34.010 --> 01:14:36.220
We serve the nation and it's citizens

01:14:36.357 --> 01:14:38.600
and we are grateful for their willingness

01:14:38.870 --> 01:14:40.663
to give us this kind of capacity.

01:14:41.130 --> 01:14:43.923
In many ways this building represents the future to me.

01:14:44.570 --> 01:14:46.370
You've got a section that is NSA,

01:14:46.370 --> 01:14:47.970
you've got a middle here, the ops center,

01:14:47.970 --> 01:14:49.603
you'll see just a little later,

01:14:49.620 --> 01:14:51.480
fully integrated and the interagency

01:14:51.480 --> 01:14:53.190
a strong component in all this as well as

01:14:53.190 --> 01:14:55.084
a broader set of partners than just both

01:14:55.084 --> 01:14:57.863
Cyber Command and NSA, and on the far side,

01:14:58.260 --> 01:14:59.430
a section that we're gonna leave purely

01:14:59.430 --> 01:15:00.423
as Cyber Command.

01:15:00.810 --> 01:15:03.260
It's this ability to integrate, hence

01:15:03.260 --> 01:15:05.820
the integrative Cyber Center, to generate

01:15:05.820 --> 01:15:07.010
outcomes for our nation.

01:15:07.010 --> 01:15:09.010
That is the vision behind this building.

01:15:09.740 --> 01:15:11.280
And I'm so proud of the men and women

01:15:11.280 --> 01:15:13.490
that did all this work cause it has really

01:15:13.490 --> 01:15:14.473
been a great ride.

01:15:14.640 --> 01:15:17.703
So without any further ado, I think you are,

01:15:17.820 --> 01:15:19.870
nope we're gonna do the cutting, come on.

01:15:20.493 --> 01:15:22.743
(applause)

01:15:40.413 --> 01:15:42.160
We got everybody in here, tight up for the picture?

01:15:42.160 --> 01:15:42.993
Tighten it up.

01:15:48.585 --> 01:15:50.638
We're just gonna pose, everybody put their scissors

01:15:50.638 --> 01:15:51.888
just like this.

01:15:52.770 --> 01:15:53.603
Heads up.

01:15:59.360 --> 01:16:00.490
Okay ready for the real thing?

01:16:00.490 --> 01:16:01.640
We're gonna count down.

01:16:01.780 --> 01:16:02.620
Three

01:16:03.600 --> 01:16:04.433
Two

01:16:04.900 --> 01:16:05.733
One.

01:16:07.071 --> 01:16:09.321
(applause)

01:16:25.810 --> 01:16:27.970
- I'm the only one standing between you

01:16:27.970 --> 01:16:30.890
and getting in to see the great room.

01:16:30.890 --> 01:16:33.940
This facility is a landmark accomplishment

01:16:34.350 --> 01:16:38.093
and supports the future of Integrated Cyberspace Operations.

01:16:38.750 --> 01:16:40.100
It is more than a building.

01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:43.390
The ICC represents the spirit of support

01:16:43.390 --> 01:16:46.380
the people who advance our vital mission

01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:47.810
in support of our nation.

01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:51.420
The ICC represents both an opportunity

01:16:51.890 --> 01:16:55.903
and a responsibility to continually foster innovation,

01:16:56.180 --> 01:16:59.430
collaboration and innovation required to meet

01:16:59.430 --> 01:17:02.403
dynamic needs now and into the future.

01:17:03.490 --> 01:17:05.260
In addition to our thanks for the men and women

01:17:05.260 --> 01:17:07.710
who worked to make this ribbon cutting a reality,

01:17:08.140 --> 01:17:10.410
we thank Admiral Mike Rogers for his leadership

01:17:10.410 --> 01:17:14.243
in getting us here and orienting us on to the future.

01:17:15.120 --> 01:17:19.403
We are ready to unleash our Cyber Mission Forces.

01:17:19.890 --> 01:17:22.730
We eagerly accept the responsibility to continue

01:17:22.730 --> 01:17:25.430
our critical partnerships to meet the challenges

01:17:25.430 --> 01:17:26.263
of the future.

01:17:26.910 --> 01:17:31.823
Welcome to the Cyber Comm NSA Integrated Cyber Center.

01:17:32.304 --> 01:17:33.137
Thank you.

01:17:33.322 --> 01:17:35.655
