Abstract:
Operational Maneuver From The Sea (OMFTS) combined with the Marine Corps' use of mission command and control is a powerful and enabling concept. It amplifies Marine Corps combat power by coupling maneuver warfare with technological advances in speed, mobility, fire support, communications, and navigation to rapidly identify and exploit enemy weaknesses. OMFTS facilitates the warfighting functions of command and control, fires, maneuver, logistics, intelligence, and force protection. However, OMFTS and its reliance on information and information systems leaves the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) vulnerable to computer network attack (CNA). Mission command and control can reduce the impact of the loss of command and control, but it can not overcome the vast and complex array of threats presented by CNA. Protection against CNAs exists and is implemented through a four step process of protect, detect, restore, and respond. Protection starts with a vulnerability assessment and ends with inoculation after a successful attack. However, protection is never assured.
