To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

All reports, assessments, analysis, slides, documents produced/created by cyber national mission force teams, cyber protection force teams, combat mission/support teams defending the nation by seeing adversary activity, blocking attacks, and maneuvering to defeat them, in relation to attacks or adversarial activity on the United States election systems from November 1st 2016 to November 10th 2016.

This request will be best if directed to U.S. Cyber Command as they would have the potential records responsive to my request.

Thank you!

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Patrick Mackie

Good morning sir,

I forwarded your request to CYBERCOM yesterday. Your request number is 17-042. Since you have more than one active request with me, please reference this number when communicating with me about it. CYBERCOM will make every effort to update me on the progress of their search and processing prior to 3 January 2017.

Please be aware, personnel vacations/absences around Christmas and New Years could impact the timeliness of our response. I won't be taking any time off, so if you email me, I should be here to respond.
Cheers,

Kendall

FOIA APPEAL : CASE NUMBER 17-042

"All reports, assessments, analysis, slides, documents produced/created by cyber national mission force teams, cyber protection force teams, combat mission/support teams defending the nation by seeing adversary activity, blocking attacks, and maneuvering to defeat them, in relation to attacks or adversarial activity on the United States election systems from November 1st 2016 to November 10th 2016."

I requested very specific documents with Cyber Command and was met with negative results. I believe there are documents pertaining to my request that were ignored or not found due to the nature of my request. I am asking for my request to be remanded back to Cyber Command to initiate a comprehensive search. Cyber Command and it's teams would potentially be responsible for monitoring and responding to adversarial activity. I would find it hard to believe there was no adversarial activity on United States election systems that they responded to in any sort of way.
