Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine presents outgoing commander of U.S. Strategic Command, U.S. Air Force Gen. Anthony Cotton, with the Defense Distinguished Service Medal during a change of command ceremony at the USSTRATCOM Command and Control Facility on Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, Dec. 5, 2025. Cotton culminated his nearly 40-year career by leading more than 40,000 personnel responsible for strategic deterrence, nuclear operations, nuclear command, control and communications, joint electromagnetic spectrum operations, global strike and missile threat assessment. The DDSM is awarded solely at the initiative and pleasure of the Secretary of War to senior U.S. military officers for exceptionally meritorious service in a role of great responsibility and is rarely awarded.
