Speaking at a Center for Strategic and International Studies event in Washington, DC, on Feb. 13, 2014, Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said she is confident USAF will fix the systemic problems within its nuclear force, while emphasizing the mission itself was not compromised by the allegations of widespread cheating at Malmstrom AFB, Mont. After the allegations surfaced James visited USAF’s three ICBM bases to learn about the Minuteman III mission and meet the airmen who work in the career field. Here, she shakes hands with SrA. Travis Lawton, 790th Missile Security Forces Squadron fire team member on Jan. 21, 2014.
