CYBER COMMAND ACTIVITIES

Abstract

(U//FOUO) Mission: US Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) Plans, coordinates, integrates, synchronizes, and conducts activities to: direct the operations and defense of specified Department of Defense information networks and; prepare to, and when directed, conduct full-spectrum military cyberspace operations in order to enable actions in all domains, ensure US/Allied freedom of action in cyberspace and deny the same to our adversaries. USCYBERCOM will develop defensive cyber strategies and capabilities to ensure force flow during campaign operations and to expand DoD OCO capabilities. USCYBERCOM will research, develop, and test technologies and capabilities that allow Cyber forces to conduct future offensive and defensive cyber operations in support of COCOMs, to include title 10 infrastructures and cross-cutting technologies. USCYBERCOM will also provide the resources for other COCOMs to conduct Offensive Cyber Operations/Defensive Cyber Operations (OCO/DCO) planning. An in-house integration team (Special Projects Vulnerability Assessment Team) will perform research, small scale prototyping, and integration as required to support the mission. Further detail is classified and can be provided upon request. Additionaly, this team will re-tool existing offensive and defensive capabilities to satisfy immediate USCYBERCOM operational needs. Finally, USCYBERCOM will delegate resources to the Army, Navy, and Air Force Cyber Service componenents to develop deconflicted offensive cyber capabilites. Activities also include studies and analysis to support current program planning and execution. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity funds various development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
