Chapter III
(a) As USSTRATCOM’s execution arm for CO, plan, coordinate, integrate,
synchronize, and conduct activities to:
1. Direct the security, operations, and defense of the DODIN.
2. Prepare to, and when directed, conduct full-spectrum military CO.
(b) For global events, CDRUSSTRATCOM will be the supported commander.
For theater events, CDRUSCYBERCOM may be a supporting commander.
(c) Cyberspace Support Elements. CSEs are organized from
USCYBERCOM forces and deployed to CCMDs for full integration into their staffs. CSEs
resources are provided by USCYBERCOM to provide the CCMDs with joint CO planners
and other subject matter experts on CO. These personnel facilitate development of
cyberspace requirements and coordinate, integrate, and deconflict CO into the command’s
planning process.
1. The CSE provides CCMDs an interface and reachback capability to
USCYBERCOM to synchronize cyberspace fires with the commander’s scheme of
maneuver, develop SA, and facilitate acquiring timely threat information.
2. USCYBERCOM retains operational control of the CSE, and the CSE is
in direct support to the JCC.
(e) Leverages the IC to establish and share comprehensive SA of cyberspace,
both friendly and adversary, in support of DOD and CCDRs.
(f) Supports CCMDs in the development of and build of the cyberspace
portion of joint intelligence preparation of the OE and target system analysis products.
(g) Submits target development nominations to the supported CCMD for
inclusion into candidate target lists.
(h) Submits a target nomination list to the supported CCMD targeting staff.
g. Other Combatant Commanders
(1) Operate and defend tactical and constructed networks within their commands.
(2) Integrate CO capabilities into all military operations; integrate CO into plans
(CONPLANs and OPLANs); and work closely with the joint force,
USSTRATCOM/USCYBERCOM, Service components, and DOD agencies to create fully
integrated capabilities.
(3) In coordination with USSTRATCOM/USCYBERCOM, GCCs orchestrate the
planning efforts for CO, designate the desired effects of CO, and determine the timing and
tempo for CO conducted in their AORs in support of GCC missions. Functional CCDRs
direct DODIN operations and defense consistent with functional responsibilities.
