Executive Summary
concept of operations, detailed plans and orders, and
specific joint offensive and defensive operations. The
GCC is generally the supported commander for CO with
first order effects within their AOR.
Similarly, CDRUSSTRATCOM/ CDRUSCYBERCOM
is generally the supported commander at the global or
transregional (across AOR boundaries) level. C2 of
DODIN operations and DCO may require pre-determined
and preauthorized actions based on meeting particular
conditions and triggers, executed either manually or
automatically if the nature of the threat requires
instantaneous response.

Considerations
Multinational Considerations
The pace of CO requires significant pre-operational
collaboration, as well as constant vigilance upon
initiation, to ensure that activities in cyberspace and
throughout the OE are coordinated and deconflicted in
advance.
Assessments in cyberspace may be unique in that the
normal assessment cell will not typically have the
capabilities or expertise to assess CO; CO will typically
involve multiple commands, such as the supported JFC,
CDRUSCYBERCOM, and possibly other functional
supporting JFCs. Additionally, with CO typically being
conducted as part of a larger operation, assessment of CO
will need to be conducted in the context of supporting the
overarching JFC objectives.
Just as JFCs and their staffs must consider how the
capabilities of other USG and nongovernmental
organizations can be leveraged to assist in accomplishing
military missions and broader national strategic
objectives, JFCs should also consider the capabilities and
priorities of interagency partners in planning and
executing CO. Through JS and USCYBERCOM, JFCs
should coordinate with interagency representatives
during planning to ensure appropriate agreements exist to
support their plans.
CO planning, coordination, and execution items that
must be considered when a multinational force campaign
or OPLAN is developed include:
Through dual involvement in
national and multinational
security processes, US national
National agendas for each country of the
multinational force may differ significantly from
those of the US, creating potential difficulties in
