AF Cypto Center

The Air Force Cryptologic Center (AFCC), established in 1993 at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, was a pivotal unit within the United States Air Force specializing in cryptology, signals intelligence, and information assurance. As a key component of Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance operations, the AFCC supported national and military objectives through advanced cryptologic analysis and secure communications. It played a critical role in both peacetime and wartime, ensuring the protection of sensitive information and enhancing situational awareness for commanders. In 2010, the AFCC was reorganized and renamed the 25th Air Force, continuing its legacy of excellence in intelligence and cyber operations.
