00:02.680 --> 00:03.580
- First, let me just say

00:03.580 --> 00:05.820
there's great alignment
in our nation today

00:05.820 --> 00:07.320
that space is a war-fighting domain,

00:07.320 --> 00:10.110
just like air, land, sea, and cyber.

00:10.110 --> 00:12.490
We no longer have the luxury of operating

00:12.490 --> 00:14.700
in a peaceful, benign domain,

00:14.700 --> 00:16.700
and we no longer have the luxury

00:16.700 --> 00:18.666
of treating space-superiority as a given.

00:18.666 --> 00:21.416
(dramatic music)

05:29.955 --> 05:30.788
- Hello everyone,

05:30.788 --> 05:33.140
my name is Master Gunnery
Sergeant Scott Stalker,

05:33.140 --> 05:35.690
and I'm excited to be
here at Space Command

05:35.690 --> 05:37.810
where not only do we
support the war fighter,

05:37.810 --> 05:39.030
but we are the war fighter.

05:39.030 --> 05:42.240
My wife Mallory and I, along
with our two young daughters,

05:42.240 --> 05:44.520
Olivia and Grace, are excited to be here,

05:44.520 --> 05:46.330
to work with each and every one of you,

05:46.330 --> 05:49.220
and to be a part of the
Space Command family.

05:49.220 --> 05:52.370
My pledge to you is that
my focus as a commander

05:52.370 --> 05:54.310
will be on developing, nurturing,

05:54.310 --> 05:58.430
embracing a space war-fighting
culture in every effort,

05:58.430 --> 06:01.000
every decision point, every initiative,

06:01.000 --> 06:04.200
and every trade off we make
will occur in the context

06:04.200 --> 06:07.170
of assessing its
contributions to our ability

06:07.170 --> 06:09.890
to deter conflict and, if necessary,

06:09.890 --> 06:12.144
to fight and win in space.

06:12.144 --> 06:14.977
