美国空军在一次发布会上表示，第25航空队于8月29日举行指挥交接仪式，蒂莫西·霍（Timothy D. Haugh）先生担任第25航空队指挥官。
Timothy D. Haugh任前在美国网络司令部任职，随后来到第25航空队，负责全球情报、监视和侦察任务。
Haugh的上一个职务是网络国家任务部队的指挥官，该部队负责通过针对中立和敌对网络空间的行为体来保护国家免受网络威胁。他的替补是陆军布里格-威廉哈特曼将军。
Haugh以前还担任过美国网络司令部情报总监和联合特遣部队阿瑞斯的副指挥官，这是承担对伊斯兰国网络攻势任务的部队。
Haugh接替卸任的第25航空队的指挥官玛丽奥布莱恩将军，后者已被确认为升职为三星将军，并且担任空军负责ISR和网络效应的副参谋长。
Haugh担任第25航空队的指挥官，此时该航空队预计将很快与第24航空队合并，成为第一支负责空军信息战的编号航空队。
美国空军官员表示，两支部队的合并可能会在秋季的某个时候发生。今年早些时候，空军高级官员曾表示他们预计合并将在今年夏天发生。
第24航空队的指挥官也将离开那个职位，但没有立即更名。
在指挥交接仪式期间，Haugh强调在情报和网络方面必须领先于顶级地缘政治竞争对手。“我们今天与所有领域的对手进行竞争; 情报是指挥官在回应中需要拥有的必要支撑。国家希望我们的情报业务全球化、敏捷化; 它融入了日常战斗和侦察行动，并能够迅速调整作战能力和专注于新出现的威胁，“他说。

Maj. Gen. Timothy Haugh assumed command of 25th Air Force during a change of command ceremony Aug. 29, the Air Force said in a release.
Most recently, Haugh was the commander of the Cyber National Mission Force, which is responsible for defending the nation against cyber threats by targeting actors in neutral and hostile cyberspace. His replacement there is Army Brig. Gen. William Hartman.
Haugh also served as the director for intelligence at Cyber Command and as the deputy commander of Joint Task Force Ares, the cyber offensive against ISIS.
Haugh is taking over for outgoing 25th commander Maj. Gen. Mary O’Brien, who was confirmed for her third star and to be the the deputy chief of staff for ISR and cyber effects.
Haugh assumes command of 25th Air Force at a time when the service will soon be merging it with 24th Air Force to become the first information warfare numbered Air Force.
Officials have told Fifth Domain that the merger is likely to occur sometime in the fall. Earlier this year, top officials said they expected the merger to occur over the summer.
A commander has yet to be named for the new numbered Air Force, which will be responsible for cyber information operations, influence operations, electronic warfare, military deception, military information support operations and psychological operations.
The 24th Air Force’s commander will also be leaving that post, though no replacement has immediately been named.
During the change of command ceremony, Haugh stressed the need to stay ahead of top geopolitical competitors.
“We are engaged in power competition with adversaries in all domains today; intelligence is the fuel that commanders require to maneuver in response. The nation expects our enterprise to be global and agile; integrated into daily combat and reconnaissance operations, and capable of quickly maneuvering capabilities to focus on emerging threats,” he said.
