Maj. Gen. Cotton takes command of 20th Air Force

Adm. Cecil D. Haney, U.S. Strategic Command commander, presents the Task Force 214 guidon to Maj. Gen. Anthony J. Cotton as Cotton takes command of the task force during a ceremony on F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo., Nov. 16, 2015. Cotton also took command of 20th Air Force from Gen. Robin Rand, Air Force Global Strike Command commander, during the same ceremony. The task force provides the President of the United States with responsive and highly reliable strategic missile forces, and supports USSTRATCOM's strategic deterrence mission by operating and maintaining the Air Force's Intercontinental Ballistic Missile force. USSTRATCOM, one of nine DoD unified combatant commands, relies on various task forces for the execution of its global missions, which also include space operations; cyberspace operations; joint electronic warfare; global strike; missile defense; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; combating weapons of mass destruction; and analysis and targeting.
