SAN MIGUEL - A radioman on my first ship went to this station for parts while we were in Subic Bay and went 'LBFM crazy'.

When he returned to the ship, he immediately reenlisted with the guarantee that he would be posted to shore duty at San Miguel.

Naval Network Warfare Command's History

 

In 2002, some 23 organizations from several commands, including the former Naval Space Command, Naval Computer and Telecommunications Command, Fleet Information Warfare Center, and Navy Component Task Force - Computer Network Defense were brought together to form Naval Network Warfare Command, emphasizing the organization's focus on the operation and defense of the Navy's networks.

 

In 2005, with the alignment of Naval Security Group, NETWARCOM brought the former Naval Security Group Activities (NSGAs) under its umbrella and the mission of the command fundamentally changed, making it the Navy's lead for Information Operations, as well as Networks and Space.

 

The assumption, alignment and integration of Fleet Intelligence Type Commander duties, responsibilities and functions at NETWARCOM in 2008 began a measured and evolutionary process to improve integrated Fleet Intelligence and ISR readiness. This alignment provided a single Fleet champion for ISR and positions Fleet Intelligence for better and timelier support to fleet operations.

 

In 2009, the Secretary of Defense directed the establishment of U.S. Cyber Command and the establishment of supporting commands to U.S. Cyber Command by each of the services. The chief of naval operations (CNO) officially established U.S. Fleet Cyber Command (FCC) and recommissioned U.S. 10th Fleet on 29 January 2009 in response to this direction.

 

With the establishment of U.S. Fleet Cyber Command / U.S. 10th Fleet, Naval Network Warfare Command was reorganized and its mission revised Direct, Operate, Maintain and Secure the Navy's portion of Department of Defense Information Network (DODIN) and to deliver reliable, secure and robust Space warfighting capabilities in support of strategic, operational and tactical missions across the Navy.
