What you're talking about is similar to the question of who "dominates" the strategic warfare front. Rather than one dominating, each service has its own forces for that mission area, but they all typically fall under the respective Unified Command.
The US Strategic Command often, not always, has its commander come from either the Air Force or the Navy (with one exception, Marine General James Cartwright), as they have the preponderance of strategic nuclear weapons (AF with ICBMs and long-range strategic bombers and Navy with sea-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs)--the triad).
That all leads to my question: Do you foresee the eventual formation of another unified command like USSTRATCOM whose area of responsibility is that of maintaining US dominance of cyberspace--with each of the services providing their own forces to this unified command? How long until we have USCYBERCOM?
I always thought that was called the "Linda Richman Rule", proposed by Mike Meyers.

MGen Lord,
Will new Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs) be created to differentiate the military personnel filling these roles from traditional Comm personnel? Will this new Command be staffed primarily by military/DoD-civilian personnel, or will they be relegated to supervisory/leadership positions only, with contractor personnel providing the bulk of the workforce?
That's funny. I had the same thought, except in my vision, I see him as a guy in a Seersucker suit with gray hair yelling this post at cars as they pass by.

You're wrong...Bush is scared of robots. Almost as much as he's scared of clowns.
That one's quite a stretch.

...they'll be posting stories from Fox News. FFS, is this the last 2 minutes of Brit Hume's newscast?
Imagine a "bee"owulf cluster of these.
