The ultimate strategic objective of cyber operations is to ensure US freedom of action in cyberspace and to deny the enemy the same. To achieve this objective, the DOD is standing up CYBERCOM to lead, integrate and better coordinate the day-to-day defense, protection, and operation of DOD networks and conduct full spectrum cyberspace military operations. However, the DOD alone does not possess sufficient capacity for unilateral response; interagency coordination is necessary to synchronize instruments of national power and thereby apply unified action toward resolving cyber threats to our national security. Integrated cyber interagency coordination at the strategic, operational and tactical levels of war is needed in order to synchronize efforts of multiple federal agencies. At the operational level, the CYBERCOM commander should implement a Joint Interagency Coordination Group (JIACG) to represent the civilian departments and agencies and achieve unity of effort in operational campaign planning. | Interagency Coordination At Net Speed by James Barkley, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
