Raymond stressed his appreciation for Hyten’s vision and promised his unwavering commitment to continue to push the boundaries in space and cyberspace and advance the operational skill sets of AFSPC Airmen.
“To the members of the Colorado Springs community, it is absolutely wonderful to be back,” said Raymond. “This is the fourth time we’ve had the privilege to work at Peterson Air Force Base, and I couldn’t be happier.”
“To the men and women of Air Force Space Command, I could not be prouder to be back on your team,” said Raymond. “There’s no other organization that does what you do, and you do it so well.”
The vast majority of Raymond’s career has been focused on integrating space into the joint environment, and bringing space and cyberspace to the forefront of joint operations.
Raymond graduated in 1984 with a bachelor’s degree in administrative management from Clemson University where he was commissioned through the ROTC program. He also earned a master’s degree in the same subject from Central Michigan University.
Since 2007, the general has commanded the 30th Operations Group at Vandenberg AFB, the 21st Space Wing at Peterson AFB, the 14th Air Force and led the Joint Functional Component Command for space for USSTRATCOM.
Raymond revisits his space background after serving as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations at Headquarters U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C. His responsibilities included being responsible to the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff for crafting operational policy; which includes air, space, and cyberspace.
