Lunch with General Anthony Cotton, USAF (Ret.)

A special afternoon of conversation with General Anthony Cotton, USAF (Ret.), former Commander of U.S. Strategic Command.

Capacity for this event is limited, and the invitation is non-transferable.

General Cotton recently concluded his tenure leading the nation’s strategic deterrence enterprise, where he was responsible for the United States’ nuclear forces, global strike capabilities, and strategic operations worldwide. Over the course of nearly four decades in uniform, he commanded at every level — including Air Force Global Strike Command — overseeing the Air Force’s intercontinental ballistic missile and strategic bomber forces.

From his early days as an ROTC graduate of North Carolina State University to his leadership of one of the Department of Defense’s most consequential combatant commands, General Cotton has been at the forefront of safeguarding America’s strategic deterrent during a period of rapidly evolving global threats.

This conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from a four-star commander who has shaped national security at the highest level. General Cotton will share insights on deterrence in an era of great power competition, the modernization of strategic forces, and the leadership lessons drawn from decades of service.
