The Air Force promoted Brig. Gen. Charles Shugg to vice commander of  
its provisional Cyber Command at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

Shugg was the commander of the Joint Unmanned Aircraft Systems Center  
of Excellence at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada.

Shugg replaces Maj. Gen. Randal Fullhart, who became the Director of  
Global Reach Programs in the Air Force Office of the Assistant  
Secretary for Acquisition. Fullhart left the cyber command in October  
after staying less than three months.

The Air Force is expected to announce where the numbered unit will  
permanently reside by June. In January, the service reduced the number  
of bases it was considering to six from 17.

In his previous position, Shugg oversaw the development of unmanned  
aircraft systems employment and training standards, providing relevant  
products, analysis and information to the joint force.

Shugg also ensured the development and integration of common UAS  
operating standards, capabilities, concepts, technologies, doctrine,  
tactics, techniques, procedures and training.
