Command and control of network operations is required to synchronize cyberspace operations, fully utilize the concepts of Joint Net-Centric Operations (JNO), and operate and defend the joint communications network. The current network operations command and control structure does not provide the Geographical Combatant Commander unity of command or unity of effort in his execution of these requirements. The 2008 Unified Command Plan (UCP) assigns the Geographical Combatant Commander authority over all military operations, to include the joint theater network, in his area of responsibility. It assigns the mission of directing operation and defense of the global information grid (GIG) to Commander, United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). The current network operations command and control structure was developed in support of the USSTRATCOM mission without appropriately addressing the Geographical Combatant Commander's authority over his theater network. Command relationships based on UCP assigned responsibilities and in accordance with joint command and control doctrine must be developed to provide the Geographical Combatant Commander unity of command and unity of effort to allow him to fully integrate the network as a component of the Joint Warfight.
