In conventional operations, cyber is used to support forces and commanders by ensuring that they can operate uninhibited in cyberspace or by disrupting the enemy’s ability to operate in order to achieve necessary objectives more efectively. In this way, cyber is used to gain an advantage over an adversary similar to the way advantage is sought in the other domains.6 This is similar to the use of naval forces to restrict the enemy’s ability to use the seas to achieve strategic ends. Like naval power, cyber is an important means with which to maximize one’s own access and efectiveness while restricting the opponent’s access and efectiveness. However, it difers from other domains in the sense that time and space are incredibly compressed. A cyber force can launch an attack from anywhere in the world and strike very quickly, unlike more traditional forces that take time to move and launch attacks.

U.S. Cyber Command U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) is a capability-based Unifified Combatant Command similar to U.S. Special Operations Command and is the military’s primary organization for both ofensive and defensive cyber activity. It is currently commanded by General Paul Nakasone, who serves simultaneously as Director of the National Security Agency (NSA). The two organizations have a close cooperative relationship: The NSA and Cyber Command operate, respectively, under Title 50 and Title 10 of the U.S. Code, the sections that govern intelligence and military afairs.7 U.S. Cyber Command was founded in 2010 as a sub-unifified command under U.S. Strategic Command. In 2018, the Trump Administration elevated it to full Unifified Combatant Command status, and it reached full operational capability in that same year. Over the past approximately 11 years, Cyber Command has grown from a very small organization that was largely dependent on the NSA for personnel and resources into the much more robust and independent organization that exists today.
