The future Air Force as part of the Joint Force, in close coordination with multi-national, interagency, and non-government partners, will operate in a complex and uncertain global security environment in which adversaries will seek to apply asymmetric threats to perceived vulnerabilities. International organizations, nation states, rogue states and terrorist organizations are prominent actors in this environment. Taken together, these have led to a shift in the characteristics of joint warfare and crisis resolution. By extension, the Air Force and Joint Force's role in this security environment have changed, especially with regards to cyberspace.2 In 2003, the President of the United States published the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace as a first step in recognizing the importance of cyberspace to the United States nation interests. As noted in this document, "The way business is transacted, government operates, and national defense is conducted have changed. These activities now rely on an interdependent network of information technology infrastructure called cyberspace. The policy of the Untied States is to protect against the debilitating disruption of information system operations for critical infrastructure and, thereby help to protect the people, economy, and national security of the United States."
