Fleet Cyber Command/TENTH Fleet: Enabling Cyber Unity of Effort

Abstract

The rapid advance of technology and the world's dependence on the internet and telecommunications for personal, business, and government activities has provided a new domain--cyber--to be exploited and attacked by U.S. adversaries. In order to counter this growing threat a transformation within the U.S. Department of Defense has begun with the establishment of U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) and the Navy cyber component, Fleet Cyber Command/TENTH Fleet. Fleet Cyber Command/TENTH Fleet is an organization that was established to harness the myriad missions currently in Navy doctrine to produce an economy of force and unity of effort across the four fields of information, intelligence, communications and command and control (C2) to create a force capable of conducting and supporting operations in cyberspace. Fleet Cyber Command/TENTH Fleet's command organization and relationships will enable it to achieve unity of effort by fusing Navy's cyber, information operations, cryptologic and space capabilities under the command and control of a single commander.
