> Delta 18 and the brand-new National Space Intelligence Center were officially commissioned late last month at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. It will be staffed by nearly 350 civilian and military personnel. Meh. This looks more like a government re-org than a substantive change to me [1]. The National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) has been around for decades at Wright Patterson AFB. The earliest form of it goes back to 1951 [2]. In 1993, the National Air Intelligence Center (NAIC) added space to the list of things they cared about, forming NASIC. It looks like now space is being split off into its own group, so there will be NSIC, and presumably NASIC will go back to being NAIC. [1] I've been through a few DoD re-orgs. This is what they usually look like.
