Description
Description — Cyberspace Activities
DEFENSIVE CYBER OPERATIONS - INTERNAL DEFENSIVE MEASURES (DCO-IDM): Beginning in FY 2023, joint efforts in this line item (LI) were transferred to LI 4646 Cyberspace Activities to establish a new budget line item within existing appropriation structure in order to separately identify the cyber mission force program, funding, and civilian personnel to provide transparency for budgeting and execution of the mission, funding, and personnel that transfer to United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) in FY 2024. DEFENSIVE CYBERSPACE WEAPON SYSTEMS (DCWS) (formerly titled USMC MAGTF DCO-IDM Suite): The USMC Defensive Cyberspace Weapon Systems (DCWS) program provides the self-contained, flyaway equipment (hardware and software) for USMC Cyber Protection Teams (CPT) and Marine Corps Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) DCO-IDM teams to conduct vulnerability analysis, incident response, and other DCO functions concurrently on classified and unclassified networks, and the ability to locate, close with, and defeat malicious cyberspace activity in response to an adversary bypassing or breaching DoD information systems. The CPTs and DCO-IDM teams utilize the interface (a laptop), data from passive and active sensors (servers, laptops, and taps), and the analytic capability from the hardware and software in order to determine the state of networks, hosts, and major weapon systems. Software includes Government Off-the-Shelf, Commercial Off-the-Shelf, and free and open-source software. DCWS are a part of a common family of systems in support of Marine Corps cyberspace operations and are operable in both garrison and tactical/deployed environments. ROBUST INFRASTRUCTURE Funding supports a secure and effective common firing platform for offensive cyber missions. Currently used platforms are not interoperable or efficient, limiting flexibility and effectiveness of cyber mission forces. Through divesting in multiple legacy platforms and investing in a joint common access platform that will be established across all Joint Mission Operations Centers, offensive operations will be more effective and efficient, improving mobility, resiliency, collaboration, force multiplication, and scalability. SECURE, OPERATE, DEFEND AND ENABLE the Marine Corps Cyberspace Environment (MCCE) (formerly titled MCCOG): Marine Forces Cyberspace Command is responsible for enhancing freedom of action across the Cyberspace domain, while denying the efforts of adversaries to degrade or disrupt this advantage through cyberspace. The Marine Corps Cyberspace Operations Group (MCCOG) is a command element under Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command responsible for securing, operating, and defending the MCCE - to include providing network situational awareness; command and control; and technical support to Marine Corps operating forces and supporting establishment organizations, both in garrison and while deployed. In addition to being the primary DOD Cybersecurity Service Provider for the U.S. Marine Corps and only certified Red Team, MCCOG performs Vulnerability Management, Malware Protection, Web Assessment, Hunt Operations, and Cyber Incident Response focused on preventing and responding to prevent and respond to security incidents. The MCCOG delivers enterprise services for the Marine Corps to include Directory, Enterprise Storage, Messaging, Application Management, Mobility, Deployed Support, Mainframe, and Unified Communication. ENTERPRISE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SECURITY & COMPLIANCE (formerly titled PUBLIC KEY INFRASTRUCTURE (PKI)): Is a framework of laws, policies, procedures, and technologies for the use of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). This consists of digital credentials that provide confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and non-repudiation in electronic communications and transactions. PKI allows secure access to IT systems and facilitates the ability to electronically sign documents, encrypt messages and documents, and to authenticate and protect web access. In compliance with DoD policy and direction, the USMC PKI program provides the resources, manpower and equipment (hardware and software), dedicated to the management (generation, production, distribution, control, accounting and destruction) of keys and certificates used by public key-based security services to include garrison and deployed Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet) and Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet). The PKI program operates the USMC Certificate Validation Infrastructure necessary to ensure that only authorized users and server-based applications are allowed to operate on the Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN). These services are required for user access to all information system components on the MCEN including network accounts, applications and web sites. PKI must be operable in garrison and tactical/deployed environments. PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION (PAI) AND OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE (OSINT) SUPPORT TO FMF: Delivers an enterprise solution for PAI and OSINT to the Marine Corps Information Environment Enterprise (MCIEE) through Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) which is mission critical for the competition and conflict phases.
Justification
Justification — Cyberspace Activities
FY 2026 Base Appropriation Request: $14.541M DEFENSIVE CYBERSPACE WEAPON SYSTEMS (DCWS) $9.448M: FY 2026 funding will support the procurement of hardware and software updates for the fielded Defensive Cyber Weapons Systems. The systems include MDS in support of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Defensive Cyberspace Operations-Internal Defensive Measures (MAGTF DCO-IDM) Teams. MDS suites provide the self-contained, fly-away equipment (hardware and software) for MAGTF DCO-IDM Teams to conduct vulnerability analysis, incident response, and other DCO-IDM functions on classified and unclassified networks. The mission is to preserve the ability to utilize blue cyberspace capabilities, protect data, networks, cyberspace-enabled devices, and other designated systems by defeating on-going or imminent malicious cyberspace activity. SECURE, OPERATE, DEFEND AND ENABLE $3.780M: FY 2026 funding will support the continuous requirement of storage for the NIPR and SIPR instance of the Big Data Platform - Cyber Hunt Analytic Operations System (BDP-CHAOS) as new data feeds are ingested into the BDP. This will also support the continued build out and integration of the SIPR version of BDP-CHAOS. The decrease from FY 2025 to FY 2026 is due to a reduction of U.S. Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command manpower support. ENTERPRISE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SECURITY & COMPLIANCE $1.313M: FY 2026 funding will provide a refresh cycle of equipment to ensure interoperability of hardware and enable the compliance with Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPV6) requirements.
