WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Air Force plans to set up what could become a major command aimed at safeguarding U.S. military and civilian cyberspace, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne said on Thursday.

Wynne, speaking at a military communications and intelligence conference, said U.S. vulnerabilities in cyberspace included financial networks, satellite communications, and radar and navigational jamming.

Wynne said the new command would be part of the 8th Air Force based at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

Wynne said he hoped the new command would eventually be on par with such major Air Force units as the Space Command and the Air Combat Command.

The new command will be led by Lt. Gen. Robert Elder, who would reach across all Air Force commands to draw the right people and capabilities, Wynne said.
