The new Air Force Cyber Command will be run by networks and will not be a traditional major command, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne said Wednesday during testimony before the House Armed Services Committee. Wynne said that the provisional Cyber Command “has only asked for 180 people” to run its headquarters and fulfill leadership and technical functions. He said, it plans to “provide staffing via the net,” drawing on assets in other places.
The United States Air Force is flying less than historic norms and funding for acquisition and readiness is on a path to further hollow out this too small and old force to that is incapable of sustaining an enduring combat air campaign.
