Abstract:

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.
