FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. –
The Cyber National Mission Force officially became the Department of Defense’s newest subordinate unified command during a ceremony at U.S. Cyber Command Headquarters here, Dec. 19, 2022, highlighting the evolution of a persistent, professional cyber force today and into the future.

CNMF is the U.S. military’s joint cyber force charged with Defending the Nation in cyberspace through full-spectrum operations, including offensive, defensive, and information operations.

U.S. Army Gen. Paul M. Nakasone, commander of U.S. Cyber Command, was the establishing officer and officiated the elevation ceremony.

“This [CNMF] command is so special because they’ve always been on the cutting-edge in terms of the operations we’ve conducted,” said Nakasone, who previously served as one of its commanders. “This is the command within U.S. Cyber Command that has always taken that first step forward. The future holds a lot for the Cyber National Mission Force.”

CNMF supports U.S. Cyber Command and national priorities such as election security, ransomware, cyber espionage, and other crisis and contingency operations.
