12/9/2009 – WASHINGTON (AFNS) – Air Force officials here released its new energy plan Dec. 9 to serve as the framework for communicating Air Force energy goals and further expands a culture shift “where Airmen make energy a consideration in everything we do.”

Debra Walker, the assistant secretary of the Air Force for installations, logistics and environment, said “the case for action to reduce our energy consumption and diversify our energy sources is more compelling than ever.

“Military forces will always be dependent on energy, but we must dramatically reduce the risk to national security associated with our current energy posture,” she said.

The latest US National Intelligence Strategy Report was released last night. However, the Director of National Intelligence website was unserviceable for a few hours. The document is now made public and available at this address:

http://www.dni.gov/reports/2009_NIS.pdf

This report which is released every four years, is considered as a guide for the future US strategy, procurement policy, economic trend, threats, etc. It also points out major cyberpowers in the world i.e. China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

This is a quite interesting prospective summary of what the next US/global challenges are deemed to be. Financial and sanitary situations are examined as well as asymmetric threats and proliferation. A document that needs reading from everyone, actually.

The French Defense White Paper had already stressed threats from non-state actors, and for the first time, cyber warfare had been pointed out in an official document.
