The document discusses the importance of integrating STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), humanities, and the arts in education to foster innovation and competitiveness in the U.S. It highlights initiatives at The Citadel aimed at engaging young people in STEM and emphasizes the need for a transdisciplinary approach to solve complex, real-world problems. The document also addresses current challenges in cybersecurity and the growing demand for specialized skills in that field.

36. "While we tend to focus on simulators associated with our flying mission such as aircrew training,
air traffic control and aircraft maintenance ... the fact is simulators permeate every aspect of
qualification training in the United States Air Force, as well as the other military services,"
General Rice said.
An array of simulation systems supporting all of the military services, first responders, the
Department of Homeland Security and the health care industry were on display across some
220,000 square feet of floor space. The environments featured technologies to enhance
capabilities ranging from irregular warfare to casualty care and serious games.

“I cannot get the technical security people I need.” (Gen. Charles
Croome, Commander, Joint Task Force ‐ Global Network Operations,
in response to a question from a CSIS Commissioner asking what is
the most critical problem he faces in meeting the growing cyber
challenge. May 28, 2008)
“There are about 1,000 security people in the US who have the
specialized security skills to operate effectively in cyberspace.
We need 10,000 to 30,000.” (Jim Gosler, Sandia Fellow, NSA Visiting
Scientist, and the founding Director of the CIA’s Clandestine
Information Technology Office, October 3, 2008.)

110. The report, Designing our Digital Future, identifies
network and information technology (NIT) as a critical
lynch pin in the US science and technology workforce.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), from
1998-2008, NIT occupations have comprised between
52% and 58% of all science and technology
occupations. Cyberspace is the crucible upon which
US wealth creation has been built since the Apollo
program—spanning engineering, life science, physical
science, and social science occupations. According to
BLS 2009 projections, cyberspace (NIT) will add
762,700 jobs growing more than twice as fast as the
average for all occupations in the economy, according
to the 2008-2018 forecast.

In April 1925 he was transferred to the minor post of Air Officer of the VIII Corps area
in San Antonio, Texas, and reversion to the rank of colonel.
