(Mar. 13, 2017) Vice Adm. Mike Gilday, commander, U.S. Fleet Cyber Command\/U.S. 10th Fleet speaks with Sailors assigned to Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) Colorado\/Task Force 1080. NIOC Colorado provides ready, trained and motivated Information Warfare officers cryptologic enlisted personnel, and expertise to support fleet, combat forces, and national intelligence operations requirements worldwide as a subordinate command to U.S. Fleet Cyber Command. U.S. Fleet Cyber Command serves as the Navy component command to U.S. Strategic Command and U.S. Cyber Command. U.S. 10th Fleet is the operational arm of Fleet Cyber Command.

Hartland\/Released)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe establishment of [CO-IPE] at U.S. Pacific Command, U.S. Southern Command and U.S. Forces Korea is a top priority for our command,\u201d a spokesman from Fleet Cyber Command said. \u201cThe challenges associated with the stand-up of this new planning element are no different than any administrative challenges associated with establishment of a new conventional command, unit, or detachment &#8230; These elements will ensure we fully integrate cyberspace operations into operational plans, ensuring timing and tempo are set by the commanders for use of cyberspace effects in the field.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense and industry officials have repeatedly noted North Korea\u2019s substantial offensive cyber power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe North Koreans have penetrated classified networks, ICS\/SCADA systems, and successfully disrupted [South Korea\u2019s] financial industry, and all while under an armistice,\u201d said Ross Rustici, senior director of intelligence services at Cybereason, a cybersecurity company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe North\u2019s cyber capability fits very well into the overall war-fighting posture of the North. Theirs would be a conflict of attrition and guerrilla tactics far more closely resembling Afghanistan than Desert Storm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rustici told Fifth Domain that what makes North Korea so effective in cyberspace is, given its limited connectivity, the majority of its cyber forces are outside the country. This means a traditional conflict would do little to disrupt them and going after these forces in anything but a cyber capacity would require precise strikes where North Korean hackers are launching cyberattacks from, substantially expanding the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, adversaries are always going to try to penetrate networks, Rustici said, which means even if the U.S. networks are fortified, the chance that allied networks aren\u2019t creates an avenue to gain the same intelligence about operational readiness war plans and contingencies with less effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis slow bleed of information is something that the U.S. combatant commands need to address if they want to maintain information superiority on any future or potential battlefield,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These planning elements will be staffed by personnel from the service cyber components under the JFHQ-C construct, one of three headquarters elements of Cyber Command that provides planning, targeting, intelligence and cyber support to combatant commands they support. Each of the heads of the various service cyber components are dual-hatted as commander of the various JFHQ-Cybers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While each service is standing up planning elements at the combatant commands, Central Command and Pacific Command are the farthest along and will be used as test cases going forward, Adm. Michael Rogers, commander of Cyber Command, told lawmakers during an April hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA couple of [combatant commands] are a little further than others and we\u2019re using this as kind of a test case \u2026 I\u2019d highlight PACOM and CENTCOM,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rogers said in those cases DoD is \u201cbringing our cyber capabilities to bears\u201d because of \u201csome of the broader activity in their theaters that are of high interest.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the reasons for standing up the cells, Rogers added, was that DoD, in order to integrate cyber into the breadth of operations, has got to be integrated at all the combatant commands. This includes the knowledge and expertise at the combatant command level to plan and execute cyber operations, but the other critical component, Rogers said, is this has to tie back to Cyber Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military leaders have always been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/air-force\/2017\/09\/01\/air-force-cyber-boss-sets-early-deadline-for-full-operational-capability\/.\" title=\"\" class=\"selected-link\" target=\"_blank\">quick to note that cyber is not done just for cyber\u2019s sake<\/a>, but rather delivering cyber effects in war. Cyber can be tied to conventional military capabilities in any conflict. For example, the New York Times reported on a months-long covert effort to hack North Korean missiles preventing them from firing, a tactic known as left of launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside
