Background Within the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, Information Dominance & Chief Information Officer (SAF/CIO A6) provides an integrated, capability-focused enterprise, with the goal of serving the Warfighter's needs and eliminating the information seams that divide our capabilities.

SAF/CIO A6 has the Information Dominance Vision of: The Air Force fully exploits the man-made domain of cyberspace to execute, enhance and support Air Force core missions.

Three priorities guide Air Force efforts toward achieving the Information Dominance Vision:

Increase Effectiveness of Air Force Core Missions Our first consideration is to increase the effectiveness of our core missions. We achieve maximum effectiveness when information is both timely and accurate, ensuring that Airmen at every level can make informed decisions at superior decision speed. Information that arrives late or is full of errors is useless at best and an obstacle at worst. The Air Force will pursue solutions that prioritize the timeliness and accuracy of information.

Increase Cybersecurity of Air Force Systems and Information Cybersecurity is crucial to the proper execution of Air Force core missions. The persistent and evolving cyberspace threat to the Air Force requires a holistic approach to cybersecurity that encompasses our people, culture, and operational processes. The Air Force will integrate cybersecurity throughout weapons systems development, testing, fielding, and employment. A culture shift in cybersecurity from compliance to resilience and risk mitigation across the Air Force will focus efforts on securing information across all of our core missions.

Background: Air Force operations are increasingly conducted in, thru, and from cyberspace.

To achieve this effort, SAF/CIO A6, in partnership with AFSPC as the Cyber CFL, all the MAJCOM A6s, 24 AF, and several other key agencies established the Cyber Squadron Initiative (CS-I). Started in 2014, CS- I aims to expand the scope of existing communications squadrons from their unitary focus on IT service delivery toward a more holistic approach including active internal defensive measures and mission assurance. 15 Pathfinder units carved out initial lessons and best-practices throughout 2016. In FY17, with the backing of MAJCOM and Wing Commanders, 40 additional Pathfinder units joined CS-I to begin the transition toward the Cyber Squadron structure.

Objectives: Shift the focus of Air Force communications squadrons across the total force (Active, Reserve, and Guard) from a providing IT support to a focus on actively defending Air Force mission.
