The Pentagon is trying to determine how its two newest space entities – Space Command and Space Force – will fit into the Department of Defense\u2019s cyber architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no plans – or subsequent authorities – for Space Force to provide personnel to the cyber mission force, which feeds up to U.S. Cyber Command, a Space Force spokesperson told C4ISRNET. The way the cyber force is staffed within the Defense Department is that each of the services are responsible for providing a set number of teams \u2013 offensive, defensive and intelligence\/support teams \u2013 to the joint cyber mission force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In turn, these teams are led by a Joint Force Headquarters-Cyber<\/a>, which are headed by each of the service cyber component commanders, who then plan, synchronize and conduct operations for the combatant commands they\u2019re assigned to.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
