Brown, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) director of global operations, receives a folded U.S. flag from U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Yudelki Mackenzie, a member of USSTRATCOM Joint Color Guard, during her retirement ceremony in the 557th Weather Wing auditorium, Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., Feb. 24, 2017.

One of nine DoD unified combatant commands, USSTRATCOM has global strategic missions assigned through the Unified Command Plan that include strategic deterrence; space operations; cyberspace operations; joint electronic warfare; global strike; missile defense; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; and analysis and targeting.
