What does "central operational authority" mean? It isn't defined as a joint term. What authority over Fleet operations does this bring?<br /><br />Electromagnetic Warfare (EMW) is coming. It's defined as creating warfighting advantages in and through the electromagnetic spectrum by disrupting the adversary's kill chain while optimizing our own (USFF FY15-16 EMW Campaign Plan, Oct 14). EW is contained in EMW.<br /><br />CNWDC is the EMW EA whose responsibilities include directing Fleet implementation of EMW, directing implementation of EMW battle rhythm and co-chairing EMW Flag Steering Committee providing Fleet operational perspective. Lines of Operations (LOOs) coordinate and streamline efforts in developing EMW. One 2017 LOO waypoint objective is new Navy policy (OPNAVINST) regarding EW and Spectrum Management.<br /><br />The current Navy policy instruction, listed on the SIPRNET website, is OPNAVINST C3430.4D: Navy Electronic Warfare Organization and Policy. It's dated 19 Apr 78. The Commanders in Chief of the PACFLT, LANTFLT and NAVEUR are responsible for the overall readiness of EW resources to carry out the responsibilities assigned by respective commanders of unified and specified commands, including identifying requirements for resources, proper employment of these resources, security review of tactics and doctrine, and training and readiness of assigned EW equipment/systems and personnel.<br /><br />The five high level goals of the Command Strategy for U.S. Fleet Cyber Command:<br /> 1. Operate the Navy network as a warfighting platform<br /> 2. Conduct tailored signals intelligence (SIGINT)<br /> 3. Deliver warfighting effects<br /> 4. Create shared cyber situational awareness<br /> 5. Establish and mature Navy’s Cyber Mission Forces.<br /><br />I ask again: What is FCC's role in EW? <br /><br />With the Navy focus on EWW/EW, FCC is neither resourced nor positioned (operationally and physically) for these responsibilities. The names have changed / the processes have improved since 1978 and the Fleet CDRs remain the right leads for carrying out the responsibilities for Navy EW. They must be the ones to do it.
