The document discusses integrating cyber capabilities into full spectrum military operations. It covers several components: the conceptual component addresses issues like classifying cyber operations as offensive or defensive and understanding effects. The physical component covers testing and training personnel on both high and low tech cyber capabilities. The moral component discusses overcoming cultural tendencies like risk avoidance and focusing more on information operations rather than just kinetic attacks. The overall message is that militaries need to maneuver effectively across all environments, including cyberspace, to integrate cyber capabilities into full spectrum operations.
