Haney, commander, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., received an orientation flight with the 126 ARW, an Illinois Air National Guard unit stationed at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., April 16. Pictured here, Adm. Haney watches pilot Lt. Col. Thomas Jackson and co-pilot Lt. Col. Ralph DeLatour as they guide the plane during an aerial refueling mission. USSTRATCOM relies on various task forces for the execution of its global missions, including space operations, information operations, missile defense, global command and control; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR); global strike and strategic deterrence, and combating weapons of mass destruction. The 126 ARW, an Illinois Air National Guard unit stationed at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., supports USSTRATCOM's global strike and strategic deterrence missions through aerial refueling with the KC-135R Stratotanker to deter regional and strategic threats from adversaries with ground warfare capabilities.
