Naval Network Warfare Command

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 disestablishment of Naval Security Group (NAVSECGRU), NETWARCOM brought the former Naval Security Group Activities (NSGAs) under its umbrella, designating them Naval Information Operation Center(s) (NIOC) and Naval Information Operation Detachment(s) (NIOD). The mission of the command fundamentally changed, making it the Navy's lead for Information Operations, as well as Networks and Space.{{Cite web |last=Gunder |first=Joseph |date=2005-10-05 |others=Story Number: NNS051005-04 |title=Naval Security Group Aligns with NETWARCOM |url=http://www.news.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=20444 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051217074730/http://www.news.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=20444 |archive-date=17 December 2005 |publisher=Naval Network Warfare Command Public Affairs |quote=The Navy has integrated all of its Information Operations (IO) capabilities under one authority by formally disestablishing Naval Security Group Command (NAVSECGRU) and aligning its personnel and assets under Naval Network Warfare Command (NETWARCOM).}}

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 provides 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. Each of the services was also directed to establish a supporting command to U.S. Cyber Command; as a result, the Naval Information Operations Centers (NIOC) were moved to the reestablished Tenth Fleet to help form U.S. Fleet Cyber Command.{{Citation |last=Roughead |first=Gary |title=Fleet Cyber Command/Commander Tenth Fleet Implementation Plan, (Memorandum) |date=July 23, 2009 |url=http://blog.usni.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/FLTCYBERCOM-10th-FLT-Implementation-Plan1.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110427081152/https://blog.usni.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/FLTCYBERCOM-10th-FLT-Implementation-Plan1.pdf |archive-date=27 April 2011 |author-link=Gary Roughead |accessdate=2009-11-18 |page=Enclosure 3}} Naval Network Warfare Command was reorganized and its mission revised to "operate and defend the Navy's portion of the Global Information Grid and deliver reliable and secure Net-centric and space war-fighting capabilities in support of strategic, operational and tactical missions across the Navy".{{cite web |title=Naval Network Warfare Command History |url=https://www.navifor.usff.navy.mil/Organization/Operational-Support/NAVNETWARCOM/History/ |publisher=U.S. Naval Information Forces |access-date=10 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220910183713/https://www.navifor.usff.navy.mil/Organization/Operational-Support/NAVNETWARCOM/History/ |archive-date=10 September 2022}}
