Abstract

There are clear opportunities for DOD to better define and align efforts against counter cyber terror activities using some, but not all elements within the DOTLMPF-P (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and education, Personnel, Facilities and Policy) framework. Specifically, within the Doctrine, Organization, Leadership and Education, and Policy sections of the framework, there exist non-material solitons given the current budgetary challenges faced by the government. The interdependence of USCYBERCOM and USSOCOM in counterterrorism education programs, reciprocal training for the collective defense is both evident and essential to the Homeland.
