Book Description
A combination of the United States Transportation Command and the United States Special Operations Command model for command and control is a more appropriate model for the United States Cyber Command to direct the operation and defense of the Department of Defense networks in cyberspace. This paper will define the proposed command and control model and compare that to the current command and control model being used by United States Cyber Command. The argument will be made that cyberspace is a true joint domain and United States Cyber Command will need to control not only the networks, but also the manning, training, and the funding in order to direct the operation and defense of the United States Department of Defense networks.

Book Description
"The central thesis of this paper is that any approach to cyberspace command and control must be founded on the nature of the cyberspace domain itself. To investigate this thesis, this study examines possible alternatives for cyberspace C2 that are based on the nature of the strategic environment, the nature of the cyberspace domain itself, and the way in which conflict must be approached in this domain in order to improve the Armed Forces' ability to successfully compete in cyberspace. The paper provides background on the pertinent threats arising in cyberspace; the definition of cyberspace; and the natures of the strategic environment, cyberspace, and competition in cyberspace. Next, a review of C2 models and associated organizational forms, including the current DoD approach is presented. A set of cyberspace C2 criteria is then derived followed by an analysis of the models in light of the criteria. Using the results of the analysis, implications for C2 with particular emphasis on organizational structure will be addressed."--Abstract.

Book Description
As the nation's most technologically advanced service, the Air Force relies absolutely on cyberspace to perform its war-fighting missions. Underpinning this competency is the ability to command and control cyberspace operations, something the authors argue is in need of a fresh approach if the Air Force is to effectively fly, fight, and win in cyberspace. The authors assert that the lack of an effective cyberspace C2 structure critically reduces the responsiveness to combatant and joint task force commanders and increases the difficulty of integrating cyberspace capabilities into operational plans and execution. The traditional military hierarchies currently used for cyberspace C2 do not have the agility to deal with the high velocity of change that characterizes cyberspace. Instead, the authors argue for flexible organizational structures to match the complexity and pace of the cyberspace operational environment. The central thesis of this paper is that any approach to cyberspace command and control must be founded on the nature of the cyberspace domain itself. To investigate this proposal, this study examines possible alternatives for cyberspace C2 that are based on the nature of the strategic environment, the nature of the cyberspace domain itself, and the way in which conflict must be approached in this domain in order to improve the armed forces' ability to successfully compete in cyberspace. The paper provides background on the pertinent threats arising in cyberspace; the definition of cyberspace; and the nature of the strategic environment, cyberspace, and competition in cyberspace. Next, a review of C2 models and associated organizational forms, including the current DOD approach, is presented. A set of cyberspace C2 criteria is then derived, followed by an analysis of the models in light of the criteria. Using the results of the analysis, implications for C2-with particular emphasis on organizational structure-are addressed.

Book Description
As the Department of Defense executes its mission in its newest warfare domain, cyberspace, some have questioned its choices with regard to command and control of its cyber forces. This thesis examines historical cases of new warfare domains and how the Department of Defense structured the command and control elements of its forces dedicated to the air and space domains. It explores the current cyber command and control construct, and looks at two others that would likely be employed if a change in command and control were to occur. Those examined include a new functional combatant command focused on cyber, similar to U.S. Special Operations Command, and a stand-alone U.S. Cyber Force. This thesis considers the benefits and drawbacks of each, and seeks to serve as an informative tool should policymakers determine a new command and control model is necessary for cyber forces.

Book Description
Along with the rest of the U.S. government, the Department of Defense (DoD) depends on cyberspace to function. DoD operates over 15,000 networks and seven million computing devices across hundreds of installations in dozens of countries around the globe. DoD uses cyberspace to enable its military, intelligence, and business operations, including the movement of personnel and material and the command and control of the full spectrum of military operations. The Department and the nation have vulnerabilities in cyberspace. Our reliance on cyberspace stands in stark contrast to the inadequacy of our cybersecurity -- the security of the technologies that we use each day. Moreover, the continuing growth of networked systems, devices, and platforms means that cyberspace is embedded into an increasing number of capabilities upon which DoD relies to complete its mission. Today, many foreign nations are working to exploit DoD unclassified and classified networks, and some foreign intelligence organizations have already acquired the capacity to disrupt elements of DoD's information infrastructure. Moreover, non-state actors increasingly threaten to penetrate and disrupt DoD networks and systems. DoD, working with its interagency and international partners, seeks to mitigate the risks posed to U.S. and allied cyberspace capabilities, while protecting and respecting the principles of privacy and civil liberties, free expression, and innovation that have made cyberspace an integral part of U.S. prosperity and security. How the Department leverages the opportunities of cyberspace, while managing inherent uncertainties and reducing vulnerabilities, will significantly impact U.S. defensive readiness and national security for years to come.

Book Description
"The complexity of military operations is increasing as information technologies begin to merge the strategic, operational and tactical levels of warfare. In addition to an increased emphasis on coalition warfare, the introduction of new warfighting domains such as space and cyberspace complicate an already complex array of organizational relationships. In its infancy, USCYBERCOM rightly focused on building the capacity of its cyber capabilities and maturing the command’s staff processes and relationships. In that same period, the command implemented incremental changes to its C2 framework to foster better integration of cyber capabilities on the battlefield. Even the most current C2 framework, however, hinders USCYBERCOM’s efforts to build effective warfighting capabilities in the cyberspace domain. USCYBERCOM should look to its functional counterparts for effective methods to C2 cyber operations. The Air Force employs processes that permit centralized control and decentralized execution to emphasize the unique characteristics of airpower. Special operators use agile organizations and support relationships to facilitate distributed operations, unity of effort, and unified action while maintaining a small tactical footprint. USCYBERCOM has neither the underlying processes nor the agile organizational construct to integrate cyber warfare into the joint fight effectively. As a unified combatant command, USCYBERCOM must transition from its rigid model of centralized control and centralized execution to a slightly more decentralized role of global synchronization. This transition requires the creation of regional cyber headquarters, collocated with the geographic combatant commands (GCCs), under the Combatant Command (COCOM) of USCYBERCOM. The new cyber components should also distribute liaison elements to the corps or division level equivalent of the existing service air-to-ground C2 systems to foster improved timing and tempo of cyber effects."--Abstract.

Book Description
The U.S. military depends heavily on computer networks, and potential adversaries see cyberwarfare as an opportunity to pose a significant threat at low cost --- a few programmers could cripple an entire information system. The Department of Defense (DoD) created the U.S. Cyber Command to counter cyber threats, and tasked the military services with providing support. This report examined the extent to which DoD and the U.S. Cyber Command have identified for the military services the: (1) roles and responsibilities; (2) command and control relationships; and (3) mission requirements and capabilities to enable them to organize, train, and equip for cyberspace operations. Includes recommend. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.
