This session will highlight the ongoing efforts to field warfighting platforms to the Army so forces can maneuver in cyberspace; either remotely or onsite; for the purpose of engaging and destroying cyber threats and

vulnerabilities. The DCO - MB consists of the DCO - Infrastructure (DCO-I) and DCO Tool Suite. The DCO - I provides the hardware and virtual framework from which cyberspace defenders execute DCO actions in real-time. The DCO -I allows cyberspace defenders to maneuver remotely with platforms

prepositioned at bases, posts, camps, stations (Garrison DCO - I (GDI)), as well as tactical sites (Tactical DCO - I (TDI)). The DCO - I additionally enables cyberspace defenders to deploy and conduct missions on-site via a flyaway kit (Deployable DCO - I (DDI)). The DCO Tool Suite is a flexible and dynamic (JIE and Common Operating Environment compliant), software based set of warfighting capabilities categorized by task. The DCO -MB versions are tailored to support Initial (for hasty mission spanning 0 - 5 days), Enhanced (deliberate missions up to four months), and Sustain (prepositioned, always on platform) scenarios. As the DCO - MB matures; increased capabilities will be integrated. These versions will have the "+" symbol appended to the title (eg. GDI+).
