The purpose of this research was to determine if computer network operations force presentation determination could benefit from studying examples from how functional combatant commands presented other forces and capabilities to the geographic combatant commands. Specifically, this study researched how the US Strategic Command presented space capabilities, how US Transportation Command presented logistics capabilities and how US Special Operations Command presented special operations forces. The research objective was achieved through a literature review of joint doctrine. The key topics examined in the literature review include: how do functional combatant commands interrelate with geographic combatant commands, how do combatant commands command and control cross-domain dependencies, and how do combatant commands manage cross-title relationships. The survey first looked for overarching lessons learned but determined each example (space, logistics, and special operations) necessarily used different force presentation models based upon resource allocation. This literature review of joint doctrine indicates US Strategic Command should consider implementing the following three actions in order to enact a strategy of developing organic CNO forces within each GCC. US Strategic Command should: (a) adapt the space SCA and proponent concepts. (b) use the logistics force presentation model as an intermediary step towards organic force presentation. (c) endorse a strategy of organic CNO force presentation within each GCC.
