He also served as Commander of Air Combat Command and U.S. Space Command.
Since his retirement from the Air Force in 2004, General Eberhart has served as Chairman and President of the Armed Forces Benefit Association, a 400,000 member organization; and is currently on the Board of Directors of several aerospace manufacturing and engineering corporations.
