Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military cyberspace operations have evolved significantly over the past 2 decades and are now emerging into the realm of military operations in the traditional domains of land, sea, and air. The goal of this monograph is to provide senior policymakers, decisionmakers, military leaders, and their respective staffs with a better understanding of Army cyberspace operations within the context of overall U.S. military cyberspace operations. It examines the development of such operations in three major sections. First, it looks at the evolution of Department of Defense cyberspace operations over the past decade to include the founding of U.S. Cyber Command from its roots in various military units focused on defensive and offensive cyberspace operations. Second, it examines the evolution of the Army implementation of cyberspace operations toward the initial establishment of Army Cyber Command as well as recent efforts to establish Fort Gordon, Georgia as the center of gravity for Army cyberspace activities. Third, it explores the role of cyberspace operations in the escalation of international conflict, focusing on the sufficiency of the current cyberspace force structure to address an international environment of multiple actors interacting with varying degrees of tension.

Download or read book Examining the Roles of Army Reserve Component Forces in Military Cyberspace Operations written by Jeffrey L Caton and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What capabilities can Reserve component forces bring to the Department of Defense (DoD) cyberspace forces? What opportunities and challenges surround the integration of these forces into a still-evolving joint cyberspace force? What are the expectations for cyber forces that serve in a militia capacity? This monograph explores these questions in four major sections. First, the monograph provides a concise review of basic information on the laws and policies governing the use of Reserve component forces. Second, it explores the uses of Reserve component cyber forces from a DoD perspective, focusing on the current strength and organization of Army National Guard (ARNG) and Reserve cyber forces and their use as part of the Cyber Mission Forces (CMF). It also addresses responsibilities for defense support to civil authorities and related operational issues, training and exercise opportunities, and total force challenges. Third, the monograph examines the use of ARNG cyber forces from the perspective of a state government, emphasizing the expectations of governors for state incident response and cybersecurity support. This section also addresses military-private partnerships, state-sponsored cyber ranges and exercises, and international partnerships. In the final section, the author offers recommendations to policymakers and leaders toward improving the integration and utilization of Army Reserve component cyberspace forces.

Download or read book Implications of Service Cyberspace Component Commands for Army Cyberspace Operations written by Jeffrey L Caton and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emerging Department of Defense (DoD) Cyber Mission Force includes forces from all military services that may reflect artifacts in their organization, training, and operation that are influenced by service cultures. Such diversity offers challenges and opportunities for senior leaders and policymakers entrusted with creating a joint force that can operate professionally in and through cyberspace. This monograph examines how the U.S. Army may benefit by adopting processes and practices from other service cyberspace forces to the operations of Army Cyber Command. It focuses on the central question: "What is the context in which different military services approach cyberspace component operations internally as well as with the DoD?" To address this question, the study is divided into four major sections: - First, the monograph provides a background of the mission and structure of U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) and the tenets of current joint cyberspace operations doctrine. - Second, it explores the mission, organization, training, and equipping of each of the four service cyberspace components as well as the Coast Guard contributions. - Third, it analyzes how the service components support the USCYBERCOM mission as well as common trends and service culture influences among their operations. - Fourth, the author provides recommendations for DoD and Army leaders to consider for the enhancement of joint and service cyberspace operations.

Download or read book Redefining Information Warfare Boundaries for an Army in a Wireless World written by Isaac Porche and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the U.S. Army as elsewhere, transmission of digitized packets on Internet-protocol and space-based networks is rapidly supplanting the use of old technology (e.g., dedicated analog channels) when it comes to information sharing and media broadcasting. As the Army moves forward with these changes, it will be important to identify the implications and potential boundaries of cyberspace operations. An examination of network operations, information operations, and the more focused areas of electronic warfare, signals intelligence, electromagnetic spectrum operations, public affairs, and psychological operations in the U.S. military found significant overlap that could inform the development of future Army doctrine in these areas. In clarifying the prevailing boundaries between these areas of interest, it is possible to predict the progression of these boundaries in the near future. The investigation also entailed developing new definitions that better capture this overlap for such concepts as information warfare. This is important because the Army is now studying ways to apply its cyber power and is reconsidering doctrinally defined areas that are integral to operations in cyberspace. It will also be critical for the Army to approach information operations with a plan to organize and, if possible, consolidate its operations in two realms: the psychological, which is focused on message content and people, and the technological, which is focused on content delivery and machines."--Page 4 of cover.

Download or read book Threatcasting written by Brian David Johnson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impending technological advances will widen an adversary’s attack plane over the next decade. Visualizing what the future will hold, and what new threat vectors could emerge, is a task that traditional planning mechanisms struggle to accomplish given the wide range of potential issues. Understanding and preparing for the future operating environment is the basis of an analytical method known as Threatcasting. It is a method that gives researchers a structured way to envision and plan for risks ten years in the future. Threatcasting uses input from social science, technical research, cultural history, economics, trends, expert interviews, and even a little science fiction to recognize future threats and design potential futures. During this human-centric process, participants brainstorm what actions can be taken to identify, track, disrupt, mitigate, and recover from the possible threats. Specifically, groups explore how to transform the future they desire into reality while avoiding an undesired future. The Threatcasting method also exposes what events could happen that indicate the progression toward an increasingly possible threat landscape. This book begins with an overview of the Threatcasting method with examples and case studies to enhance the academic foundation. Along with end-of-chapter exercises to enhance the reader’s understanding of the concepts, there is also a full project where the reader can conduct a mock Threatcasting on the topic of “the next biological public health crisis.” The second half of the book is designed as a practitioner’s handbook. It has three separate chapters (based on the general size of the Threatcasting group) that walk the reader through how to apply the knowledge from Part I to conduct an actual Threatcasting activity. This book will be useful for a wide audience (from student to practitioner) and will hopefully promote new dialogues across communities and novel developments in the area.

Download or read book Evolving Army Needs for Space Based Support written by Jeffrey L. Caton and published by Department of the Army. This book was released on 2015-04 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army has been involved with space-based military operations for well over a half-century. During this time, space operations have changed from a realm exclusive to scientists and engineers, to highly classified activities largely unknown to the general population, to the unveiling of space-based communication, imagery, surveillance, and environment capabilities that have become a foundation for all modern warfare. Today, such support is so ingrained into daily operations that most soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines assume it has been, and always will be, available for their use. But with such reliance comes vulnerability that potential adversaries may try to exploit. The evolution of Army space operations is well-documented in many sources, thus this monograph serves not as a comprehensive history or detailed critique of the myriad accomplishments. Rather, it serves as a primer for current and future space-based operations to provide senior policymakers, decisionmakers, military leaders, and their respective staffs, an overall appreciation for existing Army space capabilities and the challenges, opportunities, and risks associated with their use in joint operations.

Download or read book Conquest in Cyberspace written by Martin C. Libicki and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-16 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With billions of computers in existence, cyberspace, 'the virtual world created when they are connected,' is said to be the new medium of power. Computer hackers operating from anywhere can enter cyberspace and take control of other people's computers, stealing their information, corrupting their workings, and shutting them down. Modern societies and militaries, both pervaded by computers, are supposedly at risk. As Conquest in Cyberspace explains, however, information systems and information itself are too easily conflated, and persistent mastery over the former is difficult to achieve. The author also investigates how far 'friendly conquest' in cyberspace extends, such as the power to persuade users to adopt new points of view. He discusses the role of public policy in managing cyberspace conquests and shows how the Internet is becoming more ubiquitous and complex, such as in the use of artificial intelligence.

Caton and published by Department of the Army. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last century, the domains of air, space, and cyberspace have joined the traditional warfighting domains of land and sea. While the doctrine for land operations is relatively mature, the doctrine for space and cyberspace continue to evolve, often in an unstructured manner. This monograph examines the relationships among these domains and how they apply to U.S. Army and joint warfighting. It concentrates on the central question: How are U.S. military operations in the newest domains of space and cyberspace being integrated with operations in the traditional domain of land? This inquiry is divided into three major sections: Existing Doctrine: This section presents an overview of the current state of joint and U.S. Army doctrinal development for each of the domains of land, space, and cyberspace. Operations in Multiple Domains: This section examines the concept of cross-domain synergy and its ability to enhance globally integrated operations. Future Operations. This section explores probable future operating environments as well as the resulting implications for U.S. Army and joint force development. It includes recommendations for policymakers and senior leaders regarding the future development and integration of space and cyberspace doctrine. Anticipated future trends favor the decreased emphasis on traditional large-scale land operations and increased frequency and intensity of conflict in space and cyberspace, perhaps even where these newer domains may become preeminent for a given operation. The joint staff's pursuit of achieving cross-domain synergy in planning and operations offers a credible method to face some of the challenges of the future joint force, but this will likely remain an evolutionary vice revolutionary endeavor.

Download or read book Army Cyber Mission Force Ambitions and Realities written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-25 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2010 US Army Training and Doctrine Command's Concept Capability Plan for Cyberspace Operations directed the Army to begin development of a Cyber Mission Force. The direction to build a Cyber Mission Force followed a number of cyberspace attacks conducted to support military operations. The foundation of the Cyber Mission Force will be the highly technical soldiers trained to operate in the cyberspace domain. To develop this force the Army will need to recruit, retain, and organize for success. Research has shown that persons drawn to highly technical fields, such as cyberspace, possess unique character traits that differ from the typical traits of Army enlistees. The research has further shown that compensation, branding, professional development models, and organization are key factors in the recruitment and retention of cyberspace professionals in both the military services and private sector. Assessing the Army's model for recruiting, retaining, and organizing a Cyber Mission Force required a number of steps. First, it was necessary to understand the unique generational and character traits for those drawn to highly technical fields. The next step involved comparing Air Force and private sector branding with that of the Army. The research also examined compensation differences between the Air Force, private sector, and the Army in regard to recruiting and retaining cyberspace professionals. Next followed analysis of professional development models for cyberspace professionals and how professional development directly impacts retention of cyberspace professionals. The last step involved examining how the Air Force, private sector and the Army approach organizing for cyberspace operations. The study found that the Army's current approach to recruiting, retaining, and organizing a Cyber Mission Force is unlikely to meet the Army's goals. The findings suggest that Army must readdress branding, compensation, professional development and organization in order to increase the likelihood of success for the Cyber Mission Force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade of conflict, the U.S. Army has deployed the most capable communications systems inits history. U.S. forces dominated cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) in Afghanistan andIraq against enemies and adversaries lacking the technical capabilities to challenge our superiority incyberspace. However, regional peers have since demonstrated impressive capabilities in a hybrid operationalenvironment that threaten the Army's dominance in cyberspace and the EMS. The Department of Defense information network-Army (DODIN-A) is an essential warfighting platformfoundational to the success of all unified land operations. Effectively operating, securing, and defending thisnetwork and associated data is essential to the success of commanders at all echelons. We must anticipatethat future enemies and adversaries will persistently attempt to infiltrate, exploit, and degrade access to ournetworks and data. A commander who loses the ability to access mission command systems, or whoseoperational data is compromised, risks the loss of lives and critical resources, or mission failure. In the future, as adversary and enemy capabilities grow, our ability to dominate cyberspace and the EMS will become morecomplex and critical to mission success. FM 3-12 provides overarching doctrinal guidance and direction to the Army for conducting cyberspace and electronic warfare (EW) operations using cyberspace electromagnetic activities (CEMA) in unified land operations. FM 3-12 defines and provides an understanding of Army cyberspace operations, EW, title authorities, roles, relationships, responsibilities, and capabilities to support Army and joint operations. It expands upon themethods by which Army forces approach the defense of Army networks and data and addresses the opportunitiescommanders have to integrate tailored cyberspace and EW capabilities across the range of military operations.
