This course provides a basic understanding of full-spectrum cyberspace operations, the complexities of the cyberspace environment, and planning, organizing, and
integrating cyber ops. The course consists of presentations and exercises that teach students how to design a cyberspace operations plan and bring it to fruition.
Presented with an international conflict scenario, students are guided through a series of cascading exercises for conceptual, functional, and detailed planning.
