Cyberspace: Regional and Global Perspectives
Abstract
As the newest war-fighting domain, cyberspace, and the authorities, roles, and responsibilities associated with it, continue to cause confusion despite concerted efforts of clarification. Significant friction exists between the geographic combatant commands, specifically responsible for operations within their theater, and the newly established United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM), the sub-unified command responsible for the global defense and operations in and through this critical domain. Acknowledging the cyberspace domain exists without regard to geographic boundaries, who is in charge of operations in and through this domain and when? Examining proposed options and perspectives for command and control are necessary to determine the right balance to achieve unity of command and unity of effort in a global domain with regional implications.
