DOD announces that US Cyber Command, headquartered at Fort Meade, Md., has reached full operational capability. Defense Secretary Robert Gates directed US Strategic Command on June 23, 2009, to immediately establish the new command, which celebrated initial operational capability on May 21, 2010.
The Air Force has begun flying its CV-22 Ospreys again. But that is just the start of a multi-step process to return the fleet to normal operations following a deadly crash last year, the service says.
