–US Cyber Command at Full Operational Capability
(November 4, 2010)
The US Cyber Command has "achieved full operational capability (FOC),"
according to the Department of Defense (DoD). The Cyber Command is
based in Ft. Meade, Maryland. It will focus on protecting DoD networks
from cyber attacks and will manage cyber warfare activity. For the
Cyber Command to become fully operational, the DoD needed to establish
a joint operations center and merge personnel and jobs from the Joint
Task Force for Global Network Operations and the Joint Functional
Component Command for Network Warfare.

[Editor's Note (Lee): This sounds oddly like management restructuring.
Has anything actually changed in how they are defending networks? If
an electrical grid is the victim of a nation state SCADA attack, can the
US Cyber Command help respond? We need to unshackle this command to
help defend and respond to incidents across the nation, not just DoD
networks.]
