Here, requirements are defined, prioritized, and validated; then a solu tions analysis process follows, which is ultimately presented to CDRUSSTRATCOM and the EA for Space. In addition to using subject-matter experts, the ORS Office uses several tools that fall into five categories, described briefly below.

Observation and Attributes The ORS process is streamlined in that it takes typically well-defined, "urgent" requirements from Joint Force Commanders, develops alternative solutions, and presents recommendations directly to CDRUSSTRATCOM and the DoD EA for Space, substantially reducing the time line for decisions. The process takes into consideration ISR capabilities across the enterprise.

military networks.5 USCYBERCOM plans, coordinates, integrates, synchronizes, and conducts activities to direct the operations and defense of specified DoD in formation networks; and to prepare to and, when directed, conduct full-spectrum military cyberspace operations in order to enable actions in all domains, to ensure U.S./Allied freedom of action in cyberspace, and to deny the same to adversaries. The command is charged with pulling together existing cyberspace resources, creating synergy and synchronizing warfighting effects to defend the information security environment.6 USCYBERCOM is tasked with centralizing the command of cyberspace operations, strengthening DoD cyberspace capabilities, and integrating and bolstering DoD's cyber expertise.
