Cyber Electromagnetic Activities within the Mission Command Warfighting Function: Why is it Important and What is the Capability?

Abstract

Over the past 20 years, the increased incorporation of cyber capabilities into military command and control functions has necessitated an intensive defensive cyber posture for protection, but little effort was put into offensive cyber capabilities. The recent uses of cyber as a means of achieving national goals has changed not only how cyberspace is viewed by military leaders, but has also changed the potential for offensive cyber as a military weapon. This thesis argues for the placement of cyber electromagnetic activities within the Mission Command warfighting function by identifying the capability that cyber electromagnetic activities provides to military operations.
