The enemy has jammed signals from the Global Posi­ tioning System (GPS), limiting unmanned aerial vehicle support and preci­ sion air strikes. Satellites are blinded by ground-based lasers, preventing ac­ Ationable intelligence on enemy maneuvers within denied areas and degrading threat warning capabilities. At home, cyber intrusion threatens America’s critical infra­ structure that supports satellite command and control (C2) and cripples in-theater satellite communications, putting deployed naval strike groups at risk. To compli­ cate matters further, news outlets report on the attacks with information that de­ fense officials know not to be true. Yet this misinformation sparks outrage from the American public and encourages hasty decisions by lawmakers. America is under attack, and all this happens without a single kinetic strike. These events describe a potential scenario in the next Great War. How could America get to this point? For years, we have achieved national objectives through military operations other than war. Such activities were focused on nonstate actors like Al-Qaeda, Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and Al-Shabaab.

Our first membership event of the year was the Lunch and Learn at the Discovery Center. We sold out at 40 tickets. It was a treat to put names with faces and to see members who hadn’t participated before join us for the afternoon. This was the first year of having the Wounded Airman Benefit as a Casino Night as opening night of the Cyberspace Symposium. It was a great evening and we look forward to making it bigger and better next year (March 5, 2018). We want to extend a very special thank you to the 561st and 50th OSS volunteers for the evening. It looked like they were having a great time while doing a terrific job of answering questions and encouraging donations The Air Force Ball was attended by more than 800 people. It just came to our attention an attendee was a WWII vet. We were honored to have him with us. We now have a survey available to help us in planning for the Ball in 2018 (Date TBD).
