0:31 1. You are the Director of STRIKEWERX, the innovation hub of the US Air Force Global Strike Command. In a little while, I want you to tell me about a couple of STRIKEWERX projects and the problems they helped solve.
But before you do that, tell me about the origins of STRIKEWERX - when, why and how it started.
3:18 2. You were part of Operation Secret Squirrel. Take me behind the scenes and tell me about this incredible mission.
22:41 3. Choose two projects STRIKEWERX has been involved in. Tell me the problems they were trying to solve and how STRIKEWERX became part of the solution.
36:16 4. It has been suggested to me that there are growing needs and business opportunities locally to support the type of work taking place at Barksdale. I would like to spend the remainder of our discussion here.
First, what businesses currently exist today in our community that are supporting needs at Barksdale?
