Communications In 2008, William J. Fallon retired as a four star Admiral after a distinguished 40 year career of military and strategic
leadership. He has led US and Allied forces in eight separate commands and played a leadership role in military and
diplomatic matters at the highest levels of the US government.
As head of US Central Command, Admiral Fallon directed all US military operations in the Middle East, Central Asia
and Horn of Africa, focusing on combat efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also led the US Pacific Command for two
years, directing political-military activities in the Asia-Pacific region. His achievements include a resumption of military
engagement with China, new outreach to India, a new agreement on a strategic framework with Japan, and
humanitarian assistance to the victims of the 2006 Tsunami in SE Asia. He also served as Presidential Envoy to Japan,
handling bi-lateral relations after the collision of a US submarine and a Japanese fishing vessel.
On 9/11, Admiral Fallon was serving in the Pentagon as Vice Chief of the Navy. He personally directed the recovery of
the Navy staff in the wake of the attack and led in the planning of the retaliatory attacks on Al Qaeda and Taliban
forces in Afghanistan. Admiral Fallon directed the planning of the $124 billion Navy budget and management of
380,000 personnel. He later commanded the US Atlantic Fleet and US Fleet Forces Command, with responsibility for
the readiness of US Naval forces worldwide.

NCW Master Classes are in-depth, hands-on training sessions where you’ll work with your peers and colleagues in a classroom environment. Walk away
with the information and relationships for use the minute you return to your command or office.
The 2009 Master Classes will focus on the networking and communications needs of the joint US and coalition warfighters. Enhanced battlefield
awareness increases the safety and effectiveness of the warfighter, which leads to more informed command decisions and higher rates of mission
success. The University Master Classes will provide an in depth survey of operator needs along with current and future capabilities development.
