Description

Mission Cyber Operations Technology Development

Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command (MARFORCYBER) provides advanced cyber warfare capabilities in direct support of US Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM), Marine Corps Commanders, and national agencies to enable and accomplish global operations. Activities within the project deliver cyberspace superiority capabilities through the research, development, testing, evaluation, and integration of cyber technologies. The project enables Commanders to disrupt, deny, degrade, or destroy targets. Research and develop software constructed cyber weapons disrupt rising advanced peer and near-peer threats, as well as violent extremist organizations seeking to do harm to the United States. The software constructed cyber weapons are target specific and require high quality, rapid adjustments to achieve desired effects at acceptable levels of risk. The specific details and aspects of these cyber activities are held at a higher classification level. Adversarial Cyber Developmental Test and Evaluation: Provides mission based cyber risk assessment services to Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) programs of record (PoRs) via Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA). MCTSSA serves as the Cyber Developmental Test and Evaluation agent in accordance with DODI 8500.01, DODI 5000.02, and the DoD Cybersecurity Test and Evaluation Guidebook. MCTSSA conducts adversarial cyber assessments on programs of record in development and prototypes to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities early in the acquisition cycle. These cyber assessments help inform program offices on how to design cyber survivable systems. MCTSSA also develops tools and guidebooks to assist with designing cyber resilient networks and testing prototypes that will enhance the security posture of information systems. Operations and Maintenance (O&M) funding is used for sustainment costs to include, but not limited to, fielded system assessment services, administration, and equipment.

Mission Cyberspace Activities

Commander, Marine Forces Cyber Command (COMMARFORCYBERCOM), as the Marine Corps service component commander for the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command (CDRUSCYBERCOM), represents Marine Corps capabilities and interests; advises CDRUSCYBERCOM on the proper employment and support of Marine Corps forces; and coordinates deployment, employment, and redeployment planning and execution of attached forces. MARFORCYBER provides highly skilled software engineers with critical certification that support the implementation and creation of capabilities that enable automation of key system attributes and components. In addition, these personnel provide support to Department of Defense Information Network systems, Defensive Cyberspace Operations systems, and global operations in support of US Cyber Command. These software engineers are developing automation capabilities to identify and mitigate Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to ensure security of our network, to include our cloud migration, enable our cyber mission force operators to increase lethality against current operational threats, and provide for increased response times to adversary threats to our friendly networks.
