2009-2010 Air Force Space Command

Abstract

Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) is at a unique point in its history. AFSPC is providing military-focused space capabilities with a global perspective to the Joint warfighting team, while taking the USAF lead role in developing cyberspace capabilities, and establishing a new operational cyberspace Numbered Air Force (NAF). Additionally, AFSPC is restoring credibility and confidence in the US nuclear ICBM deterrent force while preparing to move the force to Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). Each of these is being accomplished, all the while maintaining a razor-sharp focus on the operational commitments of today. Air, space and cyberspace are inextricably connected and exponentially increase each other's capabilities. They are each a critical part of today's battle and together they will form the future of the US military advantage over adversaries. Make no mistake; as with air, land and sea, space and cyberspace are now important and contested operational domains. The loss of control in any area could lead to loss of control in all areas. AFSPC is taking decisive steps to position resources and people to meet the challenges that America will encounter in the vital domains of space and cyberspace. Each member of AFSPC shares the privilege of serving the nation and its Air Force. AFSPC provides the most capable and remarkable military space, missile, and cyberspace force the world has ever known, and the challenge is to ensure those who follow can say this as well. Consistent leadership and commitment will realize this goal.
