Flagrantly creative space "white beard"

It has been a long time coming but after two decades of trials and tribulations, June 24th will see the activation of Space Delta 18, the National Space Intelligence Center. I am honored to serve along with Col Marqus Randall as the Deputy Director. Oddly enough, my first year of government service was 35 years ago--the same year the last Service Intelligence Center was activated (MCIA). We have rented out the Nutter Center so that we can share this historic event with our Guardians, their families and friends, our partners in government, industry, and academia and our communities that support us every day. Semper Supra! #spaceforce #intelligence

I'm so envious. The DoD declared cyberspace a domain 18 years ago and we've had USCYBERCOM, a Combatant Command with Service-like responsibilities for provisioning the cyber operations force for 12 years, but the Defense Intelligence Enterprise still refuses to organize to support cyberspace operations. When will they recognize we desperately need an intel center focused on enabling Cyber Warfare?

John - you have done well, but no surprise there. Often remember your help and consult on the missions and interests of the past. If we could have only done more at the time, the nation would be better off. Hope your new endeavor works out well for you, and sure you will be of benefit to all. Cheers and Best, Bob Benson

This is so exciting! I'm so happy to see this finally come to fruition. I'm still a HUGE fan of the Delta design...but I'm biased.

Is NASIC then becoming NAIC? Or will NASIC and NSIC be performing the same work on/with space assets?
