Lieutenant General Raduege retired after serving 35 years in the U.S. military. He worked in the areas of technology, including telecommunications, space, information, and network operations. He served more than 17 years in joint duty assignments. In his last position, he led Department of Defense net-centric operations as the Director of the Defense Information Systems Agency. In that role, he directed planning, engineering, and implementation of interoperable communications and intelligence systems serving the needs of the President, Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, combatant commanders, and the military Services. Notably, he led efforts to restore communications to the Pentagon following the September 11th terrorist attacks; upgraded Presidential communications; and led the successful expansion of the Department's Global Information Grid through a $1 billion transformational communications program.

Raduege was also appointed by the Secretary of Defense as the Commander of the Joint Task Force for Global Network Operations, and Deputy Commander for Global Network Operations and Defense for the U.S. Strategic Command. In these roles, he was the first commander assigned responsibility for directing the operation and defense of the Global Information Grid to assure timely and secure net-centric capabilities across the entire Department. He also served as the Manager of the National Communications System and led our Nation's efforts to prioritize the restoration of telecommunications throughout New York City and the Pentagon following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Prior to his last assignments, Raduege directed command and control systems for North American Aerospace Defense Command, U.S. Space Command, and Air Force Space Command. He also served as the Chief Information Officer for all three commands, was the architect for computer network defense and attack capabilities established within the Department of Defense, and was the National spokesman for the Department during the successful "Year 2000" computer roll-over efforts.

General Raduege directed command and control communications at the U.S. Central Command for 3 years, including the relocation efforts required after the Khobar Towers bombing. Earlier, he served as the first commander of the Air Force C4 Agency and was the Joint Chiefs of Staff architect for all satellite communications supporting over 500,000 deployed military members during the Gulf War in 1991.

Raduege was also elected as the Executive Council Chair of the Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium, comprised of more than 90 leading U.S. and international member companies.

In addition to his positions at The Cohen Group and the Deloitte Center for Cyber Innovation, he also serves as the co-chair of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th Presidency; as the senior Cybersecurity advisor to the EastWest Institute; as a member of the Center for U.S. Global Engagements National Security Advisory Council; as an advisor to the Defense Science Board; and as a member of the Board of Trustees and chair of the Technology Committee for Capital University in Columbus, Ohio.
