Take Charge And Move Out! The TACAMO mission, flown by the @USNavy, is a critical link in nuclear command and control providing communications in support of @POTUS, @SecWar, and @US_STRATCOM.
The E6B Mercury and its crew carry a five mile long VLF antenna to maintain communications with our ballistic missile submarines. 🇺🇸

At the @US_STRATCOM Deterrence Symposium, I emphasized that the greatest security risk we face is failing to deliver a timely deterrent.
@NNSANews is shifting from a culture of avoidance and maintenance to one of urgent, safe mission delivery.🇺🇸
We are laser-focused on:
PRODUCTION: Delivering modern warheads on time and within budget.
URGENCY: Revitalizing our stockpile without "business as usual" delays.
DETERRENCE: Ensuring peace and global stability through atomic strength.

It was an honor to join colleagues from @y12nsc, @BWXT, Consolidated Nuclear Security, @ORNL, and leaders across the industry at the East Tennessee Economic Council (ETEC) Nuclear Opportunities Workshop.
We had a candid discussion about what it truly takes to "Secure America’s Nuclear Future." My message to the room was simple: We must move with absolute urgency.
The technology is ready. The political and financial support is there. Now, as I told the panel, we need "shovels in the ground." We must build, scale, and deliver.
Thank you to @ETEC_tn for hosting this vital conversation.
