Bill 118 hr 10332, also known as the "Joint Force Headquarters-Department of Defense Information Network Subordinate Unified Command Act," aims to require the Secretary of Defense to designate the Joint Force Headquarters-Department of Defense Information Network (JFHQ-DODIN) as a subordinate unified command under the United States Cyber Command. This designation would enhance coordination and integration of cyber operations within the Department of Defense.
The bill seeks to streamline the command structure within the Department of Defense by placing the JFHQ-DODIN under the authority of the United States Cyber Command. This move is intended to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of cyber operations, as well as enhance the overall cybersecurity posture of the United States.
In addition to designating the JFHQ-DODIN as a subordinate unified command, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to cybersecurity. These provisions may include measures to enhance information sharing, improve coordination with other federal agencies, and strengthen the defense against cyber threats.
Overall, Bill 118 hr 10332 represents a bipartisan effort to bolster the nation's cybersecurity capabilities by reorganizing the command structure within the Department of Defense. By designating the JFHQ-DODIN as a subordinate unified command under the United States Cyber Command, the bill aims to enhance the coordination and effectiveness of cyber operations in defense of the United States.
