FOREWORD
Today, we live in a globally-networked society that is increasingly
dependent
upon cyberspace access and security. Our ability to gain and maintain
superiority in
cyberspace has become essential to our ability to deliver global reach,
power, and
vigilance. As an integral member of the joint warfighting team, the Air
Force is
committed to growing, sustaining, and presenting highly skilled and
well-equipped
forces to joint force commanders who can deliver decisive effects in,
from, and through
cyberspace, while assuring our mission against an asymmetric cyber threat.
Freedom of action in the cyberspace domain enables our command, control,
communication, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
capabilities.
Our modern defenses, industrial base, and global commerce, as well as
that of our
nation’s enemies, depend on free use of land, sea, air, space, and
cyberspace.
Leverage in cyberspace affords influence and control across all other
domains. This
leverage increases our forces’ access, speed, reach, stealth, and
precision.
Controlling the portions of cyberspace integral to our mission is a
fundamental
prerequisite to effective operations across the range of military
operations. While we
appreciate the power that cyber-enabled capabilities add, we also
maintain a healthy
respect for the asymmetric power that cyberspace affords our
adversaries. We must
maintain a constant commitment to educate, train, and equip our Airman
to prevail in
the contested domain of cyberspace.
In the past decade, technological advances have provided the means to
generate decisive and magnified effects in domains that traditionally
could only be
achieved via kinetic means. We must continually adapt our operating
concepts to
leverage emerging cyberspace capabilities to ensure the Air Force
maintains the
decisive advantage over our adversaries.
