It's Time to Fight Back: "Operationalizing" Network Defense

Abstract

The Air Force s decision to stand up Twenty-fourth Air Force under Air Force Space Command creates an opportunity to scrutinize existing network warfare constructs with the goal of ensuring that network warfare operations carry out the Air Force s stated mission: to fly, fight, and win . . . in air, space, and cyberspace. Such a sweeping review would involve a significant number of organizations inside and outside the Air Force, encompassing discussions of policy, funding priorities, personnel, and cross-service coordination, to name a few. This article does not attempt to address all of the complex issues surrounding cyberspace operations; rather, it examines the most visible component of cyberspace warfare network defense (NetD).
