Today Gen. C. Robert Kehler, commander of Air Force Space Command, declared Full Operational Capability (FOC) for 24th Air Force, headquartered at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas.
The criteria to reach FOC, established in Air Force Program Action Directive PAD 07-08, required 24th Air Force to be able to perform all Component Numbered Air Force responsibilities in support of combatant commanders for the Air Force’s cyberspace mission. It also required the organization be able to execute full organizational structure (24th Air Force with three Wings) of assigned forces. The final criterion was to satisfy a MAJCOM commander-directed readiness assessment, which was successfully completed Sept. 11, 2010.
