Colonel on Cyberspace Domain

During the chapter's monthly luncheon in March, Col. Mark Ware, USAF, director of cyberspace plans and operations, 24th Air Force, addressed attendees on the way ahead for cyberspace. "Cyberspace is a domain; a place we conduct missions," said Col. Ware. "Keeping the right aspects of the network up and running to accomplish the mission." The mission of the U.S. Air Force is to provide sovereign options for the defense of the United States and its global interests to fly and fight in air, space and cyberspace, explained the colonel. The 24th Air Force is the operational warfighting organization that establishes, operates, maintains and defends the Air Force network and conducts full-spectrum operations in cyberspace. It ensures warfighters can maintain the information advantage as we execute military operations. The unit is responsible to conduct the full range of cyber operations. During the luncheon, the chapter was presented with a check for $775 toward their local education scholarship fund. Mr. Pete O'Neill presented the check on behalf of Rockwell Collins, a leader in the development and production of advanced communication and aviation electronics for the air transport, regional, business and military markets.
