“Your mission to develop, test, acquire, field, and sustain real-time command, control and global intelligence capabilities has never been more critical to our national defense than it is today,” Voorheis said. “The unmatched capabilities you field every day ensure that our warfighters never have a fair fight; they enter with a decisive, unfair advantage.”

Voorheis welcomed Dolce to the unit and talked at length about the new leader’s diverse background in acquisitions, cyber defense, and tactical engineering.

“A division of this caliber, executing a mission of this complexity, demands a leader of extraordinary vision,” Voorheis said. “Joe, your entire career has prepared you for this exact demand. You know the technology, you know the platforms, you know the people, and you know the stakes.”

Dolce thanked all in attendance and then challenged his new division to internalize their vital role in national security.

“I want to be crystal clear about how I view this team and your role in the fight,” Dolce said. “You are the intel backbone of United States Air Force. The systems you build, the software you integrate, and the capabilities you deliver every single day directly feed the long-range kill chain. That is a tactical reality.”
