Cyberspace, the 7th Joint Function for 21st Century Warfare

Abstract

Todays military leaders face a challenge in understanding how warfare has changed with the advent of the cyberspace domain. The cyberspace domain is best viewed as an enabling domain on the information age battlefield for military planners to effectively utilize in combat. However, recognition that cyberspace is a domain and that it is an integral part of warfare means nothing unless it can be incorporated into the operational level of war and employed within the operational art. The speed of cyberspace, coupled with the seemingly unlimited distance of the domain, are different than the natural domains and require required cyberspace to be looked at as a joint function to integrate, synchronize, and direct operations.
