More than five dozen officers have been selected for command assignments by the calendar year 2015 Cyberspace Operations Officer Command Panel, Air Force Personnel Center officials announced Nov. 26.

The 67 officers selected for command were among 145 candidates identified earlier this year. Candidates who are not on the selection list will remain eligible for additional vacancies throughout calendar year 2015, as they occur, said Capt. Erica Fountain, a cyber assignments officer with AFPC.

"Selection for a cyberspace command opportunity is a significant milestone in a 17D officer's career, and an achievement founded on years of preparation, training and education," Fountain said. "Cyber commanders are foundational to the Air Force mission, ensuring cyber teams have the resources, leadership and skills to operate, extend and defend the Air Force information network, defend key mission systems and provide full spectrum capabilities for the Joint warfighter in, through and from cyberspace."
