Issue
– The Joint Staff has a working framework to establish how many people are required for
Computer Network Exploitation and Computer Network Attack. However, a
corresponding defensive cyberspace framework doesn’t exist. How may personnel does
the Navy need for defensive cyberspace?
Objectives
– Document the Navy requirements for defending cyberspace in the functional areas of
Network Operations (NETOPS), Computer Network Defense (CND), and Information
Assurance (IA)
– Document where the requirements should be done
– Decompose the steps and skills needed to meet the requirements including where they
should be done
– Determine how much one person can do as a functional skill and longevity at each
location for each requirement
– Show how new approaches or planned technologies can reduce personnel required
– Make recommendations for the number and type of cyberspace defenders the Navy
needs
Resource issues that this study is designed to illuminate:
1. Navy Total Force Manpower Mix required for IA, NETOPS, and CND
2. MPT&E changes necessary to mitigate threats
3. Material changes necessary to mitigate threats

Modeling/Analysis
• Evaluate how the game changing
approaches or technologies would affect
personnel required
• Model personnel requirement to realworld scenarios developed for this study
Understand the Current Problem
• Decompose the steps and
skills needed to meet
requirements
• Document where the
requirements should be done
(Tier 1, 2, 3, etc.)
• Determine how much one
person can do as a function
of skill and longevity on
station
• Document what type of
person (Navy designator,
rate, NEC, Civilian,
Contractor) fits the skill set
required
• Ensure the revisit rate to
each network to be effective
for each requirement is
included (e.g. Blue Team, Red
Team, Hunt Teams)
• Factor in training pipeline
requirements
* Game Changing = Substantial reduction or addition of personnel required or shift in mission focus or approach

Task Name
Task Description
Conduct CND
To conduct actions taken through the use of computer networks to protect, monitor, analyze, detect,
and respond to unauthorized activity within DOD information systems and computer networks
Defend the GIG
Direct and lead Information Assurance and Computer Network Defense (IA/CND) actions to protect,
monitor, analyze, detect and respond to unauthorized activity within DOD GIG assets, information
systems and computer networks. Employ IA protection activity and deliberate actions to modify an
assurance configuration or condition in response to a CND alert or threat information. CND response
actions include defensive and restoration actions. Provide assured system and network availability,
assured information protection, and assured information delivery.
ST 5.1.6
Establish IA Procedures
To establish information assurance procedures for deployed operations. This task includes developing
IO appendices including defensive information operations (IO) and IA for all deliberate plans and
operations orders as required. IA may be used to ensure information and information
systems availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and nonrepudiation. This includes
providing for restoration of information systems by incorporating protection, detection, and reaction
capabilities.
ST 5.5.7.3
Direct CND
To direct actions taken through the use of computer networks to protect, monitor, analyze, detect, and
respond to unauthorized activity within DOD information systems and computer networks.

To coordinate, facilitate and deconflict computer investigations and operations between investigative
and member agencies.
Prepare Plans and
Orders
To make detailed plans, staff estimates, and decisions for implementing the geographic combatant
commander's theater strategy, associated sequels, and anticipated campaigns or major operations.
Plans and orders address, among other things, centers of gravity, branches, sequels, culminating
points, and phasing. Planning includes organizing an effective staff, structuring and organizing the
force, considering multinational capabilities/ limitations, and cross-leveling or balancing Service
component, joint, and national command, control, communications, and computers (C4) means. Plans
should address specific missions and tasks for subordinate joint or multinational task forces, Service
19
and functional components and supporting commands and agencies.
