Bloating
Sounds to me like the issue is size of the rice bowl and nameplate at the table (which is nothing new). Comes with a new list of activities/agencies/units who can now answer 'Y' to the question, "Are you operating directly in support of a Combatant Command?" That translates to re$ource$. In a practical sense, retired VCJCS Gen. Cartwright probably said it best in the article.
The offensive IO operations will be getting conducted against their own. Where rubber meets road there will be 3x the normal bulletins/OPORDS that a unit will have to respond to verifying that it only applies to the 1% of the command they should've targeted in the first place, with shorter suspenses naturally, and 2x the normal datacalls to respond to their needs to respond to oversight committees. All accelerated because the service-based commands they must filter through will ruminate over them while the clock ticketh. Are the post-grad techies in BeiJing trembling behind their servers? Doubt it.
Given the increasingly blurred line between mil/civ auth and NSA already having the foreign charter, and current state of the onion, the blogosphere will get some mileage from this one.
Someone else can tackle the eval of operational funding supporting the deployment of combat geeks, which has Comedy Zone potential but has probably been done.
Size of the paring knife needed grows daily.
