As a recently retired Air Force Cyberwarrior - I'd say you pretty much nailed it in your answer. The Air Force has long considered INFORMATION to be as important as people and planes. However, even spending major amounts of money on training and contractors didn't get the results desired - The AF has not been able to "DRIVE" as much as it has been Driven. (not to say that it doesn't have awesome info capabilities - just not as good as it would like). Leaders recognized this and the Comm and Info and Operations/Intel communities were making great strides in improving it until 9/11 occured. I think they got off focus for a while and now want to reiterate to everyone IN the Air Force the importance of this discipline.
