Final word: One nuclear, but no cyber command

The Air Force will align its nuclear missions under a new nuclear command, and has canceled plans to stand up Cyber Command.

Air Force leaders decided during four days of meetings last week at the Air Force Academy not to follow the recommendation of a Defense Department task force to organize its nuclear missions under Air Force Space Command and rename it Air Force Strategic Command.

Instead, an entirely new command will be stood up under a name not yet determined.

Air Force officials chose not to release any other details regarding the new command, saying more information will come once the Air Force Nuclear Roadmap is unveiled “in a few weeks.”

“We will announce decisions soon because they are crucial steps toward attaining excellence in our nuclear enterprise and re-vitalization of the nuclear culture across the Air Force,” Secretary Michael Donley said.
