When I first heard about it, I thought that USCYBERCOM would end up becoming another branch of the U.S. military vs. the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force each getting their own. I could see them thinking that "the net" is just another type of terrain/environment for warfare. I don't think it is a bad idea to have the knowledge and resources in more places (after all, each branch has aviation, etc.), but I'm still surprised.<p>USCYBERCOM ( <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Cyber_Command" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Cyber_Command</a> ) is composed of:<p>- Army Forces Cyber Command (Army)<p><a href="http://www.army.mil/-news/2010/10/01/46012-army-establishes-army-cyber-command/" rel="nofollow">http://www.army.mil/-news/2010/10/01/46012-army-establishes-...</a><p>- Fleet Cyber Command / United States Tenth Fleet (Navy)<p><a href="http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=50954" rel="nofollow">http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=50954</a><p>- 24th Air Force (Air Force)<p><a href="http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123163831" rel="nofollow">http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123163831</a><p>- United States Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command (Marine Corps)<p><a href="http://www.ftmeade.army.mil/pages/news/stories/2010/jan/cyber.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ftmeade.army.mil/pages/news/stories/2010/jan/cybe...</a>
