Purpose, in the publication’s words

This manual implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 13-2, Air Traffic, Airfield, Airspace, and Range Management; AFPD 16-10, Modeling and Simulation; and Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 5101.19E, DoD Executive Agents for the Cyber Test and Cyber Training Ranges. This manual establishes the Cyberspace Range Planning and Operations that support Department of the Air Force (DAF) objectives and provides foundational guidance on how to plan and integrate a cyberspace infrastructure for current and future Department of the Air Force cyberspace ranges. This infrastructure will support cyber testing, training, evaluations, multi- domain exercises, experimentation, concept development, and mission rehearsals, as well as other related cyber activities. This publication applies to all civilian employees and uniformed members of the Regular Air Force, United States Space Force, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard, and to contractors when required by the terms of their contracts.

Summary of changes, as printed

This manual has been substantially revised and must be completely reviewed. Major changes include the addition of the Joint Information Operations Range (JIOR) to the Air Force as a primary cyberspace range and the funding sources that support the range, and the change from an AFMAN to a DAF Manual (DAFMAN). Additionally, it has been revised to update the flow of attachments and the contents of the cyberspace range capability matrices to be more accurate. Furthermore, the manual has also been updated to reflect the appropriate responsibility for integration of Air Force control systems cybersecurity efforts with energy and utility resiliency under the AF/A4. Finally, the manual has been updated to reflect the Air Force Futures Cross-functional Team (CFT) governance structure for developing infrastructure.
