Developing Cyberspace Competencies for Air Force Professional Military Education

Abstract

In December, 2005, the USAF added cyberspace as a domain of operations to its mission statement "fly and fight in air, space and cyberspace". In November, 2006, the CSAF announced the designation of 8th Air Force as the Air Force Cyber Command (AFCYBER) and charged 8AF with developing a plan for organizing, training and equipping a cyber force. Further, the Chief signaled his intent to redefine airpower" by focusing on integrating USAF capabilities in air, space, and cyberspace. These events necessitate a cultural change that will impact all AF members. All airmen (to include guard, reserve and civilians) must understand the cyberspace domain and how the US uses it to protect national power and deliver sovereign options for the Commander in Chief.
