Gen. Timothy Haugh, realigned the cyber contracting mission of the 688th Cyberspace Wing to the Air Combat Command Acquisition Management Integration Center, which previously solely focused on ISR contracts, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.16af.af.mil\/News\/Article\/2296711\/contracting-offices-join-forces-to-tackle-sixteenth-air-force-information-warfa\/\" target=_blank>July 31 news release<\/a>. AMIC is to deliver all ISR- and cyber-related contracts on behalf of 16th Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The realignment is designed to more closely fuse cyber and ISR activities, \u201ccreating a one stop shop under a unified director,\u201d the release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor the Numbered Air Force to stay on the cutting edge of technological developments, it is imperative to have the continued integration of innovation and expertise from industry partners,\u201d said Timothy Applegate, director of AMIC. \u201cOur direct engagement with businesses through industry days and their access to our small business offices will provide the support and guidance they need to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force, in a yearslong reorganization of cyber and information warfare activities, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2020\/07\/19\/with-a-new-setup-the-air-force-hopes-to-improve-information-warfare-operations\/\" target=_blank>sought to more closely tie together its ISR and cyber enterprises<\/a>. This began with adding cyber effects operations to the duties of the deputy chief of staff for ISR, and was followed by the creation of 16th Air Force in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite AMIC\u2019s headquarters being in Virginia, the detachment will be located at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas \u2014 the home of 16th Air Force \u2014 as well as Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, and Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 16th Air Force has realigned the mission for one of its
