The Twenty-Fourth Air Force is a proposed Numbered Air Force that was to be a component of Air Force Cyber Command (AFCYBER). It was planned to be intermediate echelon responsible primarily for all AFCYBER units in the United States. On October 6, 2008, the Air Force announced that the activation of AFCYBER would not occur, and that a numbered air force, presumably the Twenty-fourth Air Force, would gain the cyber warfare mission as part of Air Force Space Command.1
Proposed Components
On October 8th, the Air Force announced a significant change in the approach to creating AFCYBER. Previously, the following units could possibly be a part of the Twenty-Fourth Air Force, although now capability requirements are being reassessed.23
