This report discusses the potential models, key considerations and recommendations for establishing a mature and effective theater cyber command and control (C2) structure in the US Department of Defense (DOD). The authors contend that the DOD must find a balance between centralizing C2 at US Cyber Command and pushing C2 to the combatant commanders on the ground. They then examine four existing C2 models considering the trade-offs that the DOD must deliberately balance: 1) demands for unity of effort, 2) force responsiveness, 3) force availability, and 4) organizational versatility.
