Because airmen and others who defend the nation today rely on cyberspace to command and control their forces, officials have outlined the strategic vision for the new Air Force Cyber Command.
"Mastery of cyberspace is essential to America's national security," said Maj. Gen. William T. Lord, the head of the command now forming provisionally at Barksdale Air Force Base. The command is slated to become operational some time this fall.
"Controlling cyberspace is the prerequisite to effective operations across all strategic and operational domains, securing freedom from attack and freedom to attack," he said. "We will develop and implement plans for maturing and expanding cyberspace operations as an Air Force core competency. We will provide decision makers with flexible options to deter, deny, disrupt, deceive, dissuade, and defeat adversaries through a variety of destructive and non-destructive, and lethal and non-lethal means. Finally, we will do this in friendly cooperation with our professional partners and teammates in other major commands, Services, combatant commands, and U.S. government agencies."
Lord said the "Air Force Cyber Command Strategic Vision" lays the foundation for the work that is ahead and postures the command to be fully operational in 2009. The document also details the meaning behind its vision statement: "Secure Our Nation by Emplying World-Class Cyberspace Capabilities to Control Cyberspace, Create Integrated Global Effects and Deliver Sovereign Options."
The document outlines the strategic environment the United States faces and how the changing battlefield requires cyberspace dominance. It also states that the command plans to achieve this vision through a holistic, agile, and evolutionary approach to science and technology, research and development, systems acquisition, operations, force structure, education, training, and doctrine.
