Elder, commander of 8th Air Force (Air Forces Strategic)at Barksdale Air Force Base,is responsible for the Air Force's global computer enterprise network.

The generals were also joined by a number of other key Air Force and defense leaders who discussed the emerging and ever-expanding cyber challenges facing the nation. The theme for the symposium was "Equipping the Cyber Warrior to Fight in Cyberspace."
