ADM Fargo statement on Transformation

Welcome to PACOM

"In this new threat context - with cyber, biological, and terrorist threats - our mutual security interests are linked like never before. The instantaneous nature of the global economy and global information network mean that all of us will collectively and quickly - prosper or suffer together. And no nation alone can secure itself or improve the world for others. This situation demands a more proactive, a more multilateral, and frankly, a more courageous approach. That's precisely what we are trying to fashion."

--Admiral Thomas B. Fargo, USN
Commander, U.S. PACOM
