Who will host USAF’s Cyber Command?

Posted Monday, 17 March 2008

Wikipedia has a stub article about AFCYBER, a new Air Force command that, for now, is based in Bossier City, Louisiana. Several cities are contending for the command’s permanent headquarters, but I am not sure if Honolulu is one of the candidates.

I discussed the Cyber Command on 2 November 2006, when the funding request was first announced.

See these two Wired articles for some more information.

The Air Force has a new marketing slogan that incorporates its new emphasis on cyberspace, but the tagline sounds a bit too German to BoingBoing and tongodeon – and I agree with both blogs. The German national anthem during World War II was “Deutschland Ueber Alles”.
