The 616th Operations Center (616 OC) located at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas serves as the 16 AF's operational arm to provide a robust full-spectrum and integrated cyberspace operations capability. The 616 OC interfaces with theater and functional Air Operations Centers to establish, plan, direct, coordinate, assess, and command & control cyber operations in support of AF and Joint war fighting requirements.[1]
