Planning and Coordination
b. Forces providing global CO capabilities may need to support multiple CCMDs nearly
simultaneously. Reachback to these capabilities allows faster adaptation to rapidly changing
needs. At the same time, GCCs must be able to effectively conduct theater CO in order to
operate and defend tactical and constructed networks. They must also be able to synchronize
cyberspace activities related to accomplishing their operational objectives. In order to do
that, some CO capabilities supporting synchronization may need to be forward deployed.
However, CCMDs should retain knowledge and expertise required to support effective
reachback within the CCMD, typically through the CCMD’s JCC.
c. The Transitional Cyberspace Operations Command and Control (C2) Concepts of
Operations (CONOPS) provides an interim framework (see Figure IV-1) to standardize
cyberspace C2 mechanics and allow a more studied approach to achieve an enduring C2
architecture that defines global, regional, and functional cyberspace operational lanes;
enables unity of effort; and allows CCMDs to use current authorities to conduct timely
operations. The C2 CONOPS stresses the need for partnership among all DOD
organizations conducting operations across the three cyberspace LOOs of: DODIN
operations, DCO, and OCO.
(1) CCDRs should size and structure the JCC to best support mission and CCMD
requirements. CCMDs, through their JCC, supported by the CSE coordinate CO
requirements and capabilities throughout their planning, operations, intelligence, targeting,
and readiness processes in order to integrate and synchronize CO with all other military
operations. Additionally, in partnership with USSTRATCOM, the JCC engages and
coordinates regionally with interagency and multinational partners (as necessary). The JCC
will:
(a) Combine inputs from USCYBERCOM with information about CCMD
tactical and/or constructed networks to provide a regional/functional SA/COP tailored to
CCMD requirements.
(b) Facilitate, through USCYBERCOM, coordination and deconfliction of
CCDR directed CO which may impact or conflict with other DOD or other USG cyberspace
activities or operations within the AOR or DOD information networks. As early as possible
in the planning process, provide USCYBERCOM with sufficient information about CCDR
planned CO to enable deconfliction with USG CO.
(2) CSEs are organized to meet individual CCMD requirements and facilitate and
coordinate all three cyberspace LOOs. The dual function of the CSE, as a forward element
of USCYBERCOM, provides direct support to CCMDs and enables USCYBERCOM to
support centralized, global CO. CSEs provide reachback for support from USCYBERCOM
and its Service components, bridging theater/tactical and global/national cyberspace forces
and operations.
