| Although the concept of command and control (C2) is firmly embedded in U.S. warfighting doctrine, organization, technology, and operations, a definitive method for cyberspace C2 has not been established across the joint force. Also, there is ample evidence that the joint force is not optimally organized for C2 of cyberspace operations. Ongoing intrusions to the tune of six million per day and massive exfiltration of information remain unabated. Attacks appear ... |

Yet, over 50 years later, the U.S. Navy and the Department of Defense are still struggling to clearly define Seabasing and overcome an array of difficulties ... |
