Commanders Reading List
Professional development is essential to the successful execution of our mission – to provide global security for America. One key component to professional development is reading and critically thinking about military issues, history, and leadership. I am pleased to announce the following selections for my 2010 Commander’s Professional Reading List. It is my intent that this list will serve as a guide for all STRATCOM military and civilian personnel to enhance their professional knowledge.
All of the titles below are available immediately for check-out at the Thomas S. Power Library on base and in the USSTRATCOM Leadership Institute.
Our overarching objective is to provide global security to our nation-the best in the world. I encourage everyone to read these titles and continue your professional development so you can continue to be the finest operators, planners, and advocates for STRATCOM and its global mission set.
