The Army’s next frontier demands transformations

Army Cyber Command, despite its name, is responsible for integrating and conducting not only cyberspace, but also electronic warfare and information operations. These capabilities, to some extent to include intelligence and space, are now being considered to be under the larger information-related banner of indirect and indirect operations that support U.S. and allied objectives and/or to degrade adversary functions.

Much of what Army Cyber Command does today in the form of supporting combatant commanders around the world is deliver content, a capability that is used to create an information operation, Lt. Gen. Stephen Fogarty, commander of Army Cyber Command, told the AFCEA Army Signal Conference March 13.

A chart provided during his presentation listed the command’s lines of effort, including a transition to what could be called Army Information Warfare Operations Command by 2028. Fogarty in the past has discussed the notion of Army Cyber Command becoming something like Army INFOWARCOM.
