Hiding in Plain Site: Cyberspace Denial Enabling Small Team Operations in Places Without Bases

Abstract

This thesis will directly address the current and future challenges that United States forces face with the growing ability of enemy forces to maneuver within the domain of cyberspace. Traditional instruments of United States National Security, military small team operations, face an enemy that can maneuver around them and highlight their presence essentially negating the asymmetric advantage the United States has historically possessed in unconventional warfare through small team operations. Unless the United States military begins to employ the same willingness to operate within, or deny, this domain, the enemy will close on American military advantage until ultimately, achieving parity or advantage.
