Who will host USAF’s Cyber Command?

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”.
