Abstract:

This thesis examines the organization and authorities of U.S. Department of Defense DoD cyber forces. The results of this examination indicate that the existing organization of American cyber forces does not have the authorities required to adequately provide for the prevention of cyber-attacks nor does it effectively project U.S. interests through cyberspace.
