According to Lt. Gen. Robert Elder Jr., the commander of 8th Air Force who also is charged with standing up the Air Force’s new Cyber Command, the service will create an online Global Cyberspace Innovation Center by this summer. Government Computer News reported the news from a Washington, D.C.-based event hosted by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association’s Northern Virginia Chapter. Elder described the online center as a forum for airmen, academia, and industry to “stimulate technology development.”
Air Force Gen. Jacqueline D. Van Ovost—a trailblazer and one of the first 10 women to reach a four-star rank across the U.S. military—retired and passed control of U.S. Transportation Command to Air Force Gen. Randall Reed on Oct. 4, finishing an eventful tenure at TRANSCOM.
