Cyber Force

The Air Force has a new mission statement, and it includes taking on the enemy on the battlefield of networked computers. Here's the full statement:

The mission of the United States Air Force is to deliver sovereign options for the defense of the United States of America and its global interests -- to fly and fight in Air, Space, and Cyberspace.

"We have quite a few of our airmen dedicated to cyberspace ... from security awareness, making sure the networks can't be penetrated, as well as figuring out countermeasures," says Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne.
