What will the New Cyber Command look like?"

Calling it an "unprecedented challenge to the security of the United States," a top Pentagon official on Monday stopped short of announcing officially that the Department of Defense had officially set up its long-awaited cybercommand to protect the nation's military computer networks.
William Lynn III, Deputy Secretary of Defense, told a briefing at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington that his boss, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, is continuing to refine how the new cybercommand will function.
"The Secretary is evaluating proposals, the Joint Staff is still working out details of how this command will work, and what the working relationships are," Lynn said, responding to a question from FederalNewsRadio.
He adds that, insofar as Congress is concerned, the "commander of the cybercommand, if we decide to create that, would be subject to Senate confirmation."
This suggests that the next cyber-commander might be a flag officer, such as a four-star general or an admiral, similar to the way that General David Petraeus runs the war in Iraq and Afghanistan from a Central Command in Tampa, Florida.
Lynn described the proposed cybercommand as a "sub-unified command of an existing unified command" within the Pentagon, and as such would not require enabling conmgressional legislation to "stand up" the new military cybercommand.
He did pledge to "consult actively with Congress as we do this."
