U.S. Navy Eyes Fighting in Cyberspace

An InsideDefense.com article by Rati Bishnoi, via Military.com, reports that:

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Mullen has tasked an exclusive strategy development group with creating new concepts that will help the service fight adversaries in cyberspace, Inside the Pentagon has learned.

In an Oct. 16 memorandum, Mullen calls on the Strategic Studies Group to give him a "high-level blueprint that encompasses your longer-term view, as well as a roadmap that includes immediately actionable steps -- operational, process, and technological -- that our Navy may take to begin developing the capabilities" needed to master the cyberspace warfare domain in the next 25 years.

The one-page document is addressed to the group's director, retired Adm. James Hogg, and is titled "Strategic Studies Group XXVI Theme -- 'Fighting in Cyberspace in 2030.'"
