This is a QDR recommendation for the Pentagon:

Centralize command of cyber operations. In an effort to organize and standardize cyber practices and operations more effectively, the Department is standing up U.S. Cyber Command, a sub-unified command under U.S. Strategic Command, to lead, integrate and better coordinate the day-to-day defense, protection, and operation of DoD networks. USCYBERCOM will operate and defend DoD information networks, prepare to, and when directed, conduct full spectrum cyberspace military operations in order to enable actions in all domains. An operational USCYBERCOM will also play a leading role in helping to integrate cyber operations into operational and contingency planning. In addition, DoD is training cyber experts, who are trained and equipped with the latest technologies, to protect and defend its information networks.

Yes, yes, this is about seven months behind the times. And we really do need a military adjunct for cyber security! But maybe you just have to be a comic book nerd to find this funny.

Update: I really failed on this one. Apologies to both Whilce and Marc. This is unacceptable. I’m calling on Togo West and Vern Clark to investigate.
