The U.S. military’s ability to rapidly project power around the globe is a cornerstone of American defense strategy, and adversaries leverage denial strategies across domains to disrupt this capability. Recent cyberspace exploitation campaigns have infiltrated U.S. critical infrastructure, raising concerns about the military’s ability to project decisive force during crises. Increasing cyber resilience for force projection requires transitioning from an asset-focused approach to a more proactive, mission-driven approach for defensive cyberspace operations (DCO). U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) is implementing a campaign approach to address the cross-organizational challenge of increasing cyber resilience by leveraging partnerships to facilitate collaboration, leading the process of identifying critical systems, and producing plans to align requirements with resources. ARCYBER works closely with the Total Army (Active, Guard, and Reserve) and Joint and Interagency partners to promote effective collaboration, providing a common framework to translate organizational missions into cyberspace defense priorities. ARCYBER defends the Army’s mission threads by maneuvering forces and hardening networks. Beyond proactive mitigation, the logistics enterprise must be prepared to “fight through” or bypass disruptions that penetrate defenses, ensuring mission success even in contested environments.
