A transfer of authority and responsibility ceremony at Fort Meade, Maryland marked the transition of leadership from General Paul M. Nakasone, to General Haugh.

General Haugh served in leadership positions at Sixteenth Air Force, Air Forces Cyber, the Joint Force Headquarters Cyber, and in the Intelligence Community, where he worked closely with the NSA while on multiple tours.
General Nakasone served as Commander, USCYBERCOM and Director, NSA/CSS since May 2018, taking the helm after the retirement of Admiral Mike Rogers as it ascended to the status of a unified combatant command.
Under General Nakasone's leadership, the NSA established the unclassified Cybersecurity Collaboration Center and announced the formation of the Artificial Intelligence Security Center in September 2023.
The United States Cyber Command was formed in 2009, sharing the resources, headquarters and commander with the NSA. It achieved operational capability in late 2010.
