TheNaval Network Warfare Command (NAVNETWARCOM) is theUnited States Navy'sinformation operations,intelligence, networks, and space unit.[1] Naval Network Warfare Command's mission is to execute, under CommanderTENTH Fleet Operational Control, tactical-levelcommand and control of Navy Networks and to leverage Joint Space Capabilities for Navy and Joint Operations.
In 2002, some 23 organizations from several commands, including the formerNaval Space Command,Naval Computer and Telecommunications Command, Fleet Information Warfare Center, and Navy Component Task Force - Computer Network Defense were brought together to form Naval Network Warfare Command, emphasizing the organization's focus on the operation and defense of the Navy's networks.
In 2005, with the disestablishment ofNaval Security Group (NAVSECGRU), NETWARCOM brought the former Naval Security Group Activities (NSGAs) under its umbrella, designating them Naval Information Operation Center(s) (NIOC) and Naval Information Operation Detachment(s) (NIOD). The mission of the command fundamentally changed, making it the Navy's lead for Information Operations, as well as Networks and Space.[2]
The assumption, alignment, and integration of Fleet Intelligence Type Commander duties, responsibilities and functions at NETWARCOM in 2008 began a measured and evolutionary process to improve integrated Fleet Intelligence andISR readiness. This alignment provides a single Fleet champion for ISR and positions Fleet Intelligence for better and timelier support to fleet operations.
In 2009, theSecretary of Defense directed the establishment ofU.S. Cyber Command. Each of the services was also directed to establish a supporting command to U.S. Cyber Command; as a result, the Naval Information Operations Centers (NIOC) were moved to the reestablishedTenth Fleet to help formU.S. Fleet Cyber Command.[3] Naval Network Warfare Command was reorganized and its mission revised to "operate and defend the Navy's portion of theGlobal Information Grid and deliver reliable and secure Net-centric and space war-fighting capabilities in support of strategic, operational and tactical missions across the Navy".[4]
The headquarters is atNavy Cyber Forces in Norfolk, Virginia.[5]
Naval Network Warfare Command acts as Combined Task Force 1010 (network operations & defense) forTenth Fleet[6]
The Navy has integrated all of its Information Operations (IO) capabilities under one authority by formally disestablishing Naval Security Group Command (NAVSECGRU) and aligning its personnel and assets under Naval Network Warfare Command (NETWARCOM).
