To that end, the Subcommittee on Intelligence and Emerging Threats and Capabilities\u2019 draft language is requiring the secretary of defense to notify both congressional defense committees no later than 15 days after authorities held by the National Command Authority are delegated. Specific items of interest that the committee is requiring be reported include a description of the authorities delegated to the secretary, lists of countries where the authority may be used, a description of authorized activities and defined military objectives related to the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New guidance from the White House in the last year has revoked older policies that govern how cyber operations are approved and replaced them with a new framework, so members want to be able to understand what\u2019s been delegated as it\u2019s delegated, not just whether an operation occurs, said the committee staffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/home\/2019\/05\/08\/new-authorities-mean-lots-of-new-missions-at-cyber-command\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"176\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4259926.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">New authorities mean lots of new missions at Cyber Command<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Leaders at U.S. Cyber Command have used new authorities to conduct more cyberspace operations in the last few months than in the previous 10 years, senior Department of Defense officials said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the committee, in a sign of aggressive oversight authority, is also requiring DoD to provide an annual briefing in the form of a written report to Congress detailing all cyberspace operations conducted within the previous calendar year. These are defensive and offensive operations, though they exclude cyber-enabled military information support operations and sensitive military operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For each operation, the committee is requiring DoD provide details on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The objective and purpose;<\/li><li>Impacted IT infrastructure by location;<\/li><li>Tools and capabilities used;<\/li><li>Specific cyber mission force teams or DoD entity that conducted the operation as well as supporting elements;<\/li><li>Infrastructure and platforms where the operations occurred;<\/li><li>Relevant legal, operational and funding authorities for the operation; and<\/li><li>Information regarding total funding required.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A committee staffer said there is precedence for reporting requirements like this; for example, the handling of sensitive counterterrorism operations and associated annual reports to Congress. However, this provision is unique in that the committee to date does not receive an annual written report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s nothing by which [members] can see tools, costs, the actual team associated with. This is just again strengthening\u201d oversight, the staffer said, adding this is a maturation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think there\u2019s a lot that goes on in that sphere, so that\u2019s a lower bar than, say, sensitive military operations. It affords the members the opportunity to see everything that\u2019s going on within that space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>NSA-CYBERCOM Split?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The draft bill also wades into the relationship between the National Security Agency and Cyber Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a period of relative quiet on the subject, the debate over a split between the two organizations has resurfaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/cyber\/2019\/03\/15\/the-renewed-debate-over-the-nsa-cybercom-split\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-918219856.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">The renewed debate over the NSA-CYBERCOM split<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Some members of Congress recently expressed their opinion on splitting the dual-hat arrangement between the NSA and Cyber Command at this time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congress has long been against a premature split unless certain conditions can be met to ensure the missions of each organizations aren\u2019t adversely affected if such a determination is made.
