Top United States Air Force officials announced Thursday they are considering putting the military branch’s Cyber Command program on hold. The Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Air Force have considered delaying current activity and development for the Air Force Cyber Command in order to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the AFCC’s mission and to synchronize that mission with other key Air Force initiatives, they said. News of the program’s possible suspension has arisen at the same time as high-profile cyber attacks have been leveled against the nation of Georgia.
