⭐ Core Definition: Cyber warfare

Cyberwarfare is the use of cyber attacks against an enemy state, causing comparable harm to actual warfare and/or disrupting vital computer systems. Some intended outcomes could be espionage, sabotage, propaganda, manipulation or economic warfare.

There is significant debate among experts regarding the definition of cyberwarfare, and even if such a thing exists. One view is that the term is a misnomer since no cyber attacks to date could be described as a war. An alternative view is that it is a suitable label for cyber attacks which cause physical damage to people and objects in the real world.

Cyber warfare in the context of Air Force Space Command

Space Force Combat Forces Command is the United States Space Force's space operations, cyber operations, and intelligence field command. Headquartered at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, it consists of its mission deltas and garrison commands.

It was established on 1 September 1982 as Space Command (SPACECOM), the first dedicated U.S. space command. On 15 November 1985, it was renamed Air Force Space Command (AFSPC or AFSPACECOM) to distinguish it from U.S. Space Command, Naval Space Command, and Army Space Command. On 20 December 2019, after the establishment of the United States Space Force as an independent service, Air Force Space Command was redesignated as United States Space Force (USSF) and served as the transitional headquarters of the new service, but remained a component of the U.S. Air Force. On 21 October 2020, United States Space Force was redesignated as Space Operations Command and officially transitioned from being a U.S. Air Force major command to a U.S. Space Force field command.

Cyber warfare in the context of Screening (tactical)

Screening is a military tactic in which a "screening force" (sometimes referred to as a "security force," or "guard force") provides early warning to a main force by using a smaller, mobile force to detect and harass an enemy's own screening and reconnaissance elements. This "screening force" hides the main body's strength and location, gathers intelligence on the enemy, and delays their advance, while avoiding decisive engagement itself. Screening may be utilized in all warfare domains; on the ground, on the sea, in the air, in space, and in cyberspace.
