Cyber Command Is Growing Up. Now For the Real Issue.


Cyber Command no longer acts like a five-year old, but is ready to grow up. It is the latest step in a 20-year journey. The Trump administration has ordered the elevation of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command; now the discussion can turn to the more important issue, the separation of their dual leadership.

As Michael Sulmeyer and General Michael Hayden have both written, the elevation of U.S. Cyber Command from a sub-unified command to a full unified command is neither a revolutionary or terribly ground-breaking step, just “cutting the cords” and “much ado about nothing.”
