罗杰斯在海军有30年的经验，曾主管舰队网络司令部，熟知信号情报和网络攻击，也对军用、民用情报市场需求了如指掌。另外，罗杰斯还长年给军、政两界高级官员获取摘要，参予过网络攻击、防卫的决策工作。不过，NSA日前被指违背监控、隐私涉及法律，甚至违宪，毫无疑问给罗杰斯带给新的挑战。考虑到NSA的“知名度”，奥巴马上周少见地特地试镜罗杰斯。

白宫发言人凯特林?海登拒绝接受公开发表评论。知情人士称之为，美国迅速将就奖提名一事公布官方声明。前美国海军情报官员特丽?罗伯茨盛赞亚历山大，说道他是“那种亲吻挑战，需要在数字时代率领NSA在安全性、隐私和权利方面超过理想均衡的领袖人物”。

Alexander, who supported Rogers as his successor, has long argued that Cyber Command and the NSA need to be under one leader and closely linked because the military cyber mission depends heavily on the NSA’s networks and capabilities.Some military cyber personnel say that Cyber Command will never fully mature as an organization unless the leadership roles are split.In a 2012 interview, Rogers told The Washington Post that he was comfortable with the current “dual-hat” arrangement. “I think it is a sound one,” he said.He said that fostering a “culture of accountability and responsibility” was one of his goals as Fleet Cyber commander. “We need to make sure that commanders understand cyber is a core facet of operations and warfare of the 21st century,” he said, adding that “it is not a silver bullet. It is not going to replace other capabilities.”基思?亚历山大2005年起兼任NSA局长，将要于3月14日卸任，是NSA历史上供职时间最久的局长。亚历山大还是2009年成立的五角大楼美国网络司令部的首任司令。罗杰斯兼任NSA局长后，也不会同时兼任网络司令部主管。

此前，还包括美国国家情报总监詹姆斯?R?克拉珀在内的多名官员敦促让两者“分家”。不过，在亚历山大的反对下，奥巴马上个月驳回这个建议，延用旧制。另外，NSA正式成立62年来仍然由军人兼任局长，奥巴马此番奖提名罗杰斯，也沿用了这个传统。

亚历山大反对罗杰斯接任自己，他仍然否认网络司令部和NSA必需由同一人领导，并且和军方网络项目维持紧密联系。也有军方情报人员指出，如果不“分家”，网络司令部将总有一天无法沦为成熟期的的组织。
