The Air Force has activated a new communications organization that will support the Air Force's Space Command, a new command that combines space and cyber-space operations under one organization. The new 689th Combat Communications Wing, headquartered at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, specializes in deployed communications. The wing will play a support role in combat theaters where resources are sparse, such as Afghanistan, and in humanitarian aid operations, according to the Air Force.
