"The Vice Chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff, General James E. Cartwright acknowledged Lt. General Trey Obering for his leadership of MDA over the past 4 years as General Cartwright awarded the Defense Distinguished Service Medal during his retirement ceremony on Friday, November 21. General Cartwright stated in his remarks that Lt. General Obering gave credibility to missile defense from a vision 25 years ago to a real and credible system for the 21st century. This credibility has been shown here to our leadership, to our allies and most importantly to those that would threaten the United States of America and its national security interests with ballistic missiles. Without this credibility we would be faced with offensive retaliation as our only option and without credibility, strategy planning or any military weapons system will not work."
