The Air Force has chosen Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, for a new cyber security and defense command.
Lackland beat out five other bases to host 24th Air Force headquarters: Barksdale Air Force Base, La.; Langley Air Force Base, Va.; Offutt Air Force Base, Neb.; Peterson Air Force Base, Colo.; and Scott Air Force Base, Ill.
The headquarters will employ about 400 people, including the commander’s staff and an around-the-clock operations center. The operations center will focus on defending Air Force networks against attacks and conduct some offensive operations.
