Lynch III Summary: This article discusses the strategic cyber competition between the United States, China, and Russia, highlighting the challenges to America's power in cyberspace. It emphasizes the need for a Relative Power Erosion Framework, which includes persistent engagement and a hunt forward posture, to counter the cyber activities of these rivals. The article suggests that while military capabilities are currently essential, civilian governmental agencies should eventually take the lead in managing endemic cyber-competitive interactions.
