More than 110 people attended the Defense Council meeting on Thurs, September 22, 2016.  The entire event was perfectly orchestrated from beginning to end by many dedicated members of the Aerospace Data Facility Colorado (ADF-C).

The ADF-C Commander, Col Chris Povak provided an outstanding presentation about this one-of-a-kind, multi-agency & multi-service joint intelligence facility.  Col Povak talked about the three major mission partners of the ADF-C – National Reconnaissance Office, National Security Agency and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.  He also highlighted the 3,800 professionals in the ADF-C that keep our country safe 24/7 by providing intelligence information to civilian & military leaders around the world.

The Defense Council also kicked off the first of its monthly donations to Homeless Veterans and their families with a sock drive.  In addition, unit and community reports were provided by local commanders and community leaders.
