SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. - The U.S. Transportation Command received a
visitor from the office of the Secretary of Defense in mid-January to honor
personnel from the Intelligence Directorate, known as J-2, the Operations
and Plans Directorate, or J-3, and the Command, Control, Communication and
Computer Systems Directorate, or J-6, for superior service.

Robert Butler, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber Policy,
presented certificates of appreciation to many of the command's civilian and
military personnel. He praised them for laying the foundation for developing
the National Defense Strategy for Cyberspace Operations.

Butler said the combined expert insights of team members allowed scenario
developers to establish proper context and provide current operational
examples relevant to the senior leaders for a series of cyber tabletop
exercises.

The group was instrumental in illuminating pressing cyber challenges to
Defense Senior Leadership Conference participants through the exercises
which helped senior leaders make high-level decisions.

The team members appreciated the recognition and gained greater
understanding of the challenges ahead in the cyber environment. Butler led a
day-long deep dive discussion prior to the recognition ceremony.

"For us, it was a big team effort. It was good to contribute to the
betterment of the national cyber environment. The process continues and it's
something we need to keep working on," said Steve Stone, J-2, senior
analyst.

"It is an honor to be recognized with and serve as part of the world-class
team that protects and defends USTRANSCOM's Distribution Process Owner
systems and information. The collaboration and effectiveness of our combined
team, comprised of J-2, J-3, J-6, and other staff elements, are key reasons
for our continued success," said Mike Jenkins, J-6, information assurance
officer.
