Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne announced yesterday that Maj. Gen. William Lord has been nominated to serve as commander of the provisional Cyber Command, which is at Barksdale AFB, La., for the time being. Lord currently is serving as director of Cyberspace Transformation and Strategy for the Air Force Chief Information Officer at the Pentagon. The move frees Lt. Gen. Robert Elder, commander of 8th Air Force, to focus on his numerous other responsibilities, which include the oversight of the Air Force’s nuclear-capable bombers and cruise missiles.
The Space Force’s small size has limited its capacity to consider what role it will play in future operations on and around the moon. That needs to change, according to Vice Chief of Operations Gen. Shawn Bratton.
