Which unit's CDRs have OPCON of Cyber Mission Teams (CMTs) and Cyber Support Teams (CSTs)?

• A. Navy Joint Forces Headquarters
• B. Joint Force Headquarters-Cyber
• C. Cyber National Mission Force
• D. United States Cyber Command

Answer: (B)

OPCON for Cyber Mission Teams and Cyber Support Teams rests with Joint Force Headquarters-Cyber. This joint-level command is the operational hub under United States Cyber Command that plans, directs, and synchronizes cyber operations across services. The Cyber Mission Force teams—built from multiple services to perform offensive and defensive cyber tasks—are assigned to JFHQ-Cyber for day-to-day tasking and control, enabling coordinated action in support of geographic combatant commands and national missions. The Cyber National Mission Force operates at the national level, focusing on strategic cyber effects, but does not routinely exercise the OPCON of CMF teams in the ordinary operational sense. So, while US Cyber Command provides overarching direction, the actual operational control of CMTs and CSTs is handled by the Joint Force Headquarters-Cyber.
