50 SW Changes Command

The 50th Space Wing welcomed new leadership during a change-of-command ceremony held here May 29 at 2 p.m.

U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond, commander, 14th Air Force (Air Forces Strategic) and Joint Functional Component Command for Space presided over the ceremony today that transferred command of the 50 SW from Col. William J. Liquori Jr. to Col. DeAnna M. Burt.

“The role of the 50 SW is vital to the safety and security of the United States,” Raymond said. “The capabilities you provide allow commanders to see the battlespace with clarity, strike with precision, navigate with accuracy, communicate with certainty, and operate with assurance over global distances. To the Airmen of this Wing, you are the very best at what you do, you make it look easy and we all know it is not.”
