Gen. Paul Nakasone, commander of Army Cyber Command said in response to a direct question during congressional testimony March 13 about if PPD-20 works. \u201cIs the process perfect? No it\u2019s not, but this is a constant dialogue that goes on between ourselves, certainly Cyber Command and the Department of Defense and then the National Security Council.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakasone said there has been success with ongoing operations the cyberoffensive effort against ISIS, known as Joint Task Force-Ares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGo back to the early stages when the secretary of defense said \u2018get at ISIS.\u2019 I think you\u2019re aware there were a lot of concerns in the interagency process that said \u2018no, you can\u2019t do this. N o,you don\u2019t have the authority,\u2019\u201d Nakasone\u2019s deputy, Ronald Pontius, told Fifth Domain recently. \u201cBut we were able to work that discussion by not having a generic or philosophical discussion but said here\u2019s the specific capability. We end up calling mission packages, here\u2019s the capability we\u2019re proposing and then we were able to have the right conversation in the interagency that said, \u2019Okay, I understand that.\u2019\u201d<\/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\/2018\/03\/13\/the-armys-next-question-should-battlefield-commanders-have-cyber-capabilities\/\" 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=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3106266.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 Army\u2019s next question: should battlefield commanders have cyber capabilities?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Army is trying to figure out what additional authorities, if any, it needs to conduct tactical cyber operations.<\/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\">While there has long been a discussion about evolving these authorities, some said the current construct has not prevented action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The policy directive \u201chas not kept us from delivering effects when we\u2019ve been required to deliver them,\u201d Vice Adm. Michael Gilday, commander of 10th Fleet\/Fleet Cyber Command told the Senate Armed Services Cyber Subcommittee alongside Nakasone. \u201cIt was intended to be a very deliberate process in determining when and how we would deliver cyber effects \u2026 I think as an overarching policy, I think that it\u2019s a good framework. There are built in mechanisms within that framework to accelerate authorities if we need them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Changing world<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite how well the process has worked to date, not only is the DoD\u2019s cyber force gaining in capability and capacity, but the world around it is changing as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I first came into the domain in 2012 that\u2019s when we were writing PPD-20,\u201d Maj. Gen. Christopher Weggeman, commander of 24th Air Force\/Air Forces Cyber, told the committee. \u201cThink about the maturation and the pace of change since then. Six years later we still have the same PPD-20.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weggeman said while the government started out with an authorities driven policy, the direction now is driving toward more of a mission and risk informed policy \u201cthat allows us a broader spectrum to authorities and risks that would allow us the pace, the timing and tempo of operations to match our adversaries in cyberspace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There has to be a new approach to certain aspects of cyberspace operations in the context of longstanding concepts such as sovereignty, Weggeman said, given the domain is man-made with actors laying claim to certain parts of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we want to compete, deter and win in cyberspace we have to get\u2026more oriented on mission outcomes and risk models and threat driven operations that allow us to become the challenger instead of the challenged in this domain,\u201d he said. \u201cBecoming the challenger is going to require us to be more of a 21st century information operations\/information warfare cogent organization or group of interagency partners that wants to then do the things that are happening to us to impose cost, to deny benefit, to demonstrate stake and to convey the legitimacy of those actions to our citizenry as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the cyberspace domain continues to evolve, how should the authorities that govern cyber operations also
