Chairman Rounds, Ranking Member Rosen, and distinguished members of the sub-committee, thank you for your support and for the privilege of representing the men and women of U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM).
I value this opportunity to discuss the changing strategic landscape, the Command’s accomplishments in 2024, and the prospects ahead for us in 2025. USCYBERCOM creates an enduring advantage for the Joint Force, for the nation, and for its partners. Our Command is fostering a warrior ethos and lethality by building and sustaining mastery in our cyber forces. We are implementing national strategy and re-establishing deterrence by buying down risk for the Department of Defense (DoD), and by harnessing our Service-like authorities, such as Enhanced Budget Control. Congressionally granted authorities and oversight are crucial to USCYBERCOM’s success, helping us to anticipate changes in the strategic environment, and to act with speed, scale, and agility.
