JB Langley-Eustis, Va., will be the home of an Air Force cyber operations squadron, according to a statement from Virginia’s congressional delegation. “Cybersecurity is one of the greatest challenges we face as a nation, and this mission will play a critical role in responding to threats and protecting the integrity of our networks and cyber systems,” the delegation said in the statement. “This decision is a testament to Virginia’s strong record in cyber capabilities, including top defense and technology companies, research institutions, and a highly skilled workforce.” The Virginia delegation had sent two letters to the Air National Guard urging them to select their state as a location for a cyber squadron.
