About the Author

No stranger to leadership, Daniel York directed or led people for the past forty years, to include his current position as the Reserve Advisor to NORAD/NORTHCOM. Growing up in Okinawa, South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines and across the United States, he learned much about leading in different cultures and settings. Dan graduated from West Point in 1981 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. He served with the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division, and, as an infantry company commander, deployed his unit to the Middle East. In 1986, he joined the Army Reserves where he served as a commander at every level, to include his most recent command, the 76th Operational Response Command. Major General York commanded three divisions—a very unusual accomplishment in the military.
