The character of conflict has fundamentally changed. Cyberspace is no longer a supporting capability but a central, contested domain where national power is projected and defended. The ability to secure national interests and achieve mission success in the air, on land, in space, and at sea is now inextricably linked to the ability to operate and prevail in and through cyberspace. The speed, accessibility, and anonymity of this domain present both unparalleled opportunities for the joint force and significant challenges from a new generation of adversaries. This publication, Air Force Doctrine Publication 3-12, Cyberspace Operations, provides the doctrinal foundation for how the United States Air Force thinks about, organizes for, and conducts operations in this critical domain.
