Question 28

How does the U.S. 10th Fleet (C10F) support the Cyber Mission Force (CMF), and what is their relationship within U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM)?

Answer 28

CMF: A force under USCYBERCOM, consisting of cyber operators from all military branches. It is responsible for conducting offensive and defensive cyber operations, protecting DoD networks, and countering cyber threats. 10th Fleet: The Navy’s operational cyber force, providing command and control for Fleet Cyber Command (FCC). It supports CMF missions, secures Navy networks, and executes cyberspace operations. Relationship: • CMF draws forces from C10F: 10th Fleet contributes personnel and capabilities to CMF teams. • Operational alignment: C10F supports CMF by securing naval networks, conducting cyber defense, and enabling joint cyber operations. • Tasking from USCYBERCOM: CMF executes missions under USCYBERCOM, while 10th Fleet ensures Navy-specific cyber readiness and integration. In short, C10F is the Navy’s cyber warfighting arm, while CMF is the broader joint force executing USCYBERCOM’s cyber missions, often leveraging C10F resources.

Question 29

Where is FCC in the chain of command ?

Answer 29

Fleet Cyber Command (FCC) is about 10th Fleet and is an Echelon II command under U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC). It also serves as the Navy component of U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM). Chain of Command (CoC) above FCC: 1. U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) – Operational oversight. 2. Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) – Administrative oversight. 3. U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) – For cyber operations. 4. Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) – Service-level leadership. 5. Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) – Department of Defense leadership. 6. President of the United States – Commander-in-Chief.
