The US has opened its Cyber Command headquarters during an official ceremony attended by Defense Secretary Robert Gates at Fort Meade Military Base.

Gates, who directed its establishment almost a year ago, appointed General Keith B. Alexander as the first commander of US Cyber Command on Friday.

"Given our increasing dependency on cyberspace, this new command will bring together the resources of the department to address vulnerabilities and meet the ever-growing array of cyber threats to our military systems," Gates said.

The new command will report to the Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.

According to US Defense Department officials, the purpose for establishing the Cyber Command is to keep up with the Pentagon's mission to protect and defend the US national security and protect the lives of men and women in uniform.

US defense officials call it a milestone to help conduct full-spectrum operations.

General Alexander was recently promoted to a four-star general during a ceremony at Fort Meade.
