Book excerpt: "As cyberspace continues to play an important role in projection of military power, in an environment where the mission of tomorrow is ill defined and budgets are becoming constrained, there is an increasing need for a Total Force (AC/RC) concept. The existing and emerging requirements for Army Cyber Mission Forces (CMF) are currently greater than the Army’s active component has personnel available or trained to support USCYBERCOM and ARCYBER requirements. The Army’s RC is uniquely postured to fill current, midterm and longer-term cyber gap requirements, but it requires planning and investment now in training, development, and integrations of the RC CMF. Although moving cautiously, some of the distinct advantages many Reserve Component (USAR and ARNG) Soldiers have are their ties to the communities, full-time employment in the civilian information technology, and their dispersion across the country. Unlike centrally consolidated Title-10 (AC and USAR) organizations, with Homeland Defense and Defense Support to Civil Authorities requirements with limited authorities under the Posse Comitatus Act, the ARNG units can further assist local and state governmental agencies nationwide to defend critical infrastructure networks. These aspects further make the RC uniquely postured to fill current, midterm and longer-term cyber requirements, but it requires planning and investment now in training, development, and integrations of the RC CMF. This analysis accomplishes this through inspection of policy, current requirements, constructs, mission areas and initiatives for RC forces to determine the benefits or drawbacks to successful generation of a Total Force (AC/RC) CMF"--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2010 US Army Training and Doctrine Command's Concept Capability Plan for Cyberspace Operations directed the Army to begin development of a Cyber Mission Force. The direction to build a Cyber Mission Force followed a number of cyberspace attacks conducted to support military operations. The foundation of the Cyber Mission Force will be the highly technical soldiers trained to operate in the cyberspace domain. To develop this force the Army will need to recruit, retain, and organize for success. Research has shown that persons drawn to highly technical fields, such as cyberspace, possess unique character traits that differ from the typical traits of Army enlistees. The research has further shown that compensation, branding, professional development models, and organization are key factors in the recruitment and retention of cyberspace professionals in both the military services and private sector. Assessing the Army's model for recruiting, retaining, and organizing a Cyber Mission Force required a number of steps. First, it was necessary to understand the unique generational and character traits for those drawn to highly technical fields. The next step involved comparing Air Force and private sector branding with that of the Army. The research also examined compensation differences between the Air Force, private sector, and the Army in regard to recruiting and retaining cyberspace professionals. Next followed analysis of professional development models for cyberspace professionals and how professional development directly impacts retention of cyberspace professionals. The last step involved examining how the Air Force, private sector and the Army approach organizing for cyberspace operations. The study found that the Army's current approach to recruiting, retaining, and organizing a Cyber Mission Force is unlikely to meet the Army's goals. The findings suggest that Army must readdress branding, compensation, professional development and organization in order to increase the likelihood of success for the Cyber Mission Force.

This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emerging Department of Defense (DoD) Cyber Mission Force includes forces from all military services that may reflect artifacts in their organization, training, and operation that are influenced by service cultures. Such diversity offers challenges and opportunities for senior leaders and policymakers entrusted with creating a joint force that can operate professionally in and through cyberspace. This monograph examines how the U.S. Army may benefit by adopting processes and practices from other service cyberspace forces to the operations of Army Cyber Command. It focuses on the central question: "What is the context in which different military services approach cyberspace component operations internally as well as with the DoD?" To address this question, the study is divided into four major sections: - First, the monograph provides a background of the mission and structure of U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) and the tenets of current joint cyberspace operations doctrine. - Second, it explores the mission, organization, training, and equipping of each of the four service cyberspace components as well as the Coast Guard contributions. - Third, it analyzes how the service components support the USCYBERCOM mission as well as common trends and service culture influences among their operations. - Fourth, the author provides recommendations for DoD and Army leaders to consider for the enhancement of joint and service cyberspace operations.

Book excerpt: What capabilities can Reserve component forces bring to the Department of Defense (DoD) cyberspace forces? What opportunities and challenges surround the integration of these forces into a still-evolving joint cyberspace force? What are the expectations for cyber forces that serve in a militia capacity? This monograph explores these questions in four major sections. First, the monograph provides a concise review of basic information on the laws and policies governing the use of Reserve component forces. Second, it explores the uses of Reserve component cyber forces from a DoD perspective, focusing on the current strength and organization of Army National Guard (ARNG) and Reserve cyber forces and their use as part of the Cyber Mission Forces (CMF). It also addresses responsibilities for defense support to civil authorities and related operational issues, training and exercise opportunities, and total force challenges. Third, the monograph examines the use of ARNG cyber forces from the perspective of a state government, emphasizing the expectations of governors for state incident response and cybersecurity support. This section also addresses military-private partnerships, state-sponsored cyber ranges and exercises, and international partnerships. In the final section, the author offers recommendations to policymakers and leaders toward improving the integration and utilization of Army Reserve component cyberspace forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing a skilled cyber workforce is imperative to DOD achieving its offensive and defensive missions, and in 2013 it began developing CMF teams to fulfill these missions. CYBERCOM announced that the first wave of 133 such teams achieved full operational capability in May 2018. GAO’s report examines the extent to which DOD has (1) developed a trained CMF, (2) made plans to maintain a trained CMF, and (3) leveraged other cyber experience to meet training requirements for CMF personnel. This is an unclassified version of a For Official Use Only report that GAO previously issued. GAO is making eight recommendations, including that the Army and Air Force identify time frames for validating foundational CMF courses; the military services develop CMF training plans with specific personnel requirements; CYBERCOM develop and document a plan establishing independent assessors to evaluate training; and CYBERCOM establish the training tasks covered by foundational training courses and convey them to the services.

Book excerpt: "The U.S. Army continues to adapt the cyber force organizational structure and roles and responsibilities to meet the strategic goals defined by Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM). The current understanding and definition of cyberspace leaves little doubt that the current structures, roles and responsibilities are insufficient to fully gain situational awareness and operational control of the domain unless changes are made. Each of the services' decisions to structure cyber forces was influenced foremost by the need to address service-specific cyber mission requirements, but was significantly constrained by internal bureaucratic priorities and organizational cultures that limited the holistic approach required to achieve unity of effort. This paper will evaluate the current missions and organizational relationships, roles, and responsibilities of USCYBERCOM and each of the supporting service's cyber component commands in order to determine whether or not the U.S. Army's current cyber structure is properly aligned to meet strategic objectives. I will conclude the paper with recommendations on how the U.S. Army can take advantage of organizational changes to align cyberspace responsibilities and authorities."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: Over the past decade, numerous states have declared cyberspace as a new domain of warfare, sought to develop a military cyber strategy and establish a cyber command. These developments have led to much policy talk and concern about the future of warfare as well as the digital vulnerability of society. No Shortcuts provides a level-headed view of where we are in the militarization of cyberspace.In this book, Max Smeets bridges the divide between technology and policy to assess the necessary building blocks for states to develop a military cyber capacity. Smeets argues that for many states, the barriers to entry into conflict in cyberspace are currently too high. Accompanied by a wide range of empirical examples, Smeets shows why governments abilities to develop military cyber capabilities might change over time and explains the limits of capability transfer by states and private actors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s cyberspace interconnectedness leaves the Department of Defense, and private organiz ations vulnerable to Internet attacks. Developing a skilled and trained cyber workforce is essential to executing the Army’s cyber missions to meet the national security challenges. A shortage of cybersecurity talent, however, is a concern of the government, industry, and academia. The Army is building Cyber Mission Forces and adapting organizations to meet today’s cyber challenges. This paper provides two recommendations for addressing the challenges of recruiting and retaining cyber talent. First the Army must develop a new Cyber Recruiting Campaign Plan and re-brand itself to attract young cyber talent. Secondly, the Army should create a Cyber Talent Management Support Center responsible for workforce development of both military and civilian cyber experts. New Army strategies for cyber recruiting and talent management will enable the Army to meet the challenges awaiting in the cyber domain.

Book excerpt: Impending technological advances will widen an adversary’s attack plane over the next decade. Visualizing what the future will hold, and what new threat vectors could emerge, is a task that traditional planning mechanisms struggle to accomplish given the wide range of potential issues. Understanding and preparing for the future operating environment is the basis of an analytical method known as Threatcasting. It is a method that gives researchers a structured way to envision and plan for risks ten years in the future. Threatcasting uses input from social science, technical research, cultural history, economics, trends, expert interviews, and even a little science fiction to recognize future threats and design potential futures. During this human-centric process, participants brainstorm what actions can be taken to identify, track, disrupt, mitigate, and recover from the possible threats. Specifically, groups explore how to transform the future they desire into reality while avoiding an undesired future. The Threatcasting method also exposes what events could happen that indicate the progression toward an increasingly possible threat landscape. This book begins with an overview of the Threatcasting method with examples and case studies to enhance the academic foundation. Along with end-of-chapter exercises to enhance the reader’s understanding of the concepts, there is also a full project where the reader can conduct a mock Threatcasting on the topic of “the next biological public health crisis.” The second half of the book is designed as a practitioner’s handbook. It has three separate chapters (based on the general size of the Threatcasting group) that walk the reader through how to apply the knowledge from Part I to conduct an actual Threatcasting activity. This book will be useful for a wide audience (from student to practitioner) and will hopefully promote new dialogues across communities and novel developments in the area.

This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Defense's recent growth in cyber has outpaced the Air Force's ability to adequately organize, train and retain cyber expertise. This is especially true within Air Force intelligence, a critical component of the Department's Cyber Mission Force construct and a significant contributor to the national intelligence community. To regain and retain the competitive advantage in the cyberspace domain, the Air Force must develop training tailored to each specific intelligence specialty code working in or supporting cyber operations, it must examine its organizational construct splitting the cyber force between two Major Commands, it must consider re-specialization of the 14N career field and it must examine retention mechanisms and consider options such as establishment of a Warrant Officer career field to ensure long term retention of talent. This study uses a qualitative approach to argue that the Air Force is currently not effectively planning for the organization, training or retention of Air Force intelligence professionals working in cyberspace operations.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.The digital battlefield transitioned from theory to reality at a rapid pace with a growing number of adversaries looking to the cyber domain to gain an asymmetric advantage. The traditional intelligence-gathering tradecrafts among many nations now include cyber espionage. Malicious actors, state-sponsored or not, can use network attacks to inflict significant damage on their adversaries. The extent of attacks against the U.S. is staggering; the Deputy Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), Richard Ledgett, estimates that there are "hundreds of thousands" attempted intrusions on U.S. networks each day. The Department of Defense (DoD) acknowledges this threat and has prioritized growth in cyber capabilities despite an austere budget environment. Cyber features prominently within the 2015 National Military Strategy (NMS), which highlights a growing cyber threat to U.S. interests. In response, the DoD has invested human capital into the Cyber Mission Force, a framework of national and regionally focused cyber teams under U.S. Cyber Command, with offensive and defensive capabilities. The 2015 NMS recognizes people as the military's competitive advantage and highlights the need to reward and retain technical talent. The Air Force Future Operating Concept, 2015, echoes this strategy with specific goals to enhance training and modernize Airman management mechanisms within Air Force Core Mission areas, including Global Integrated Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (GIISR).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With billions of computers in existence, cyberspace, 'the virtual world created when they are connected,' is said to be the new medium of power. Computer hackers operating from anywhere can enter cyberspace and take control of other people's computers, stealing their information, corrupting their workings, and shutting them down. Modern societies and militaries, both pervaded by computers, are supposedly at risk. As Conquest in Cyberspace explains, however, information systems and information itself are too easily conflated, and persistent mastery over the former is difficult to achieve. The author also investigates how far 'friendly conquest' in cyberspace extends, such as the power to persuade users to adopt new points of view. He discusses the role of public policy in managing cyberspace conquests and shows how the Internet is becoming more ubiquitous and complex, such as in the use of artificial intelligence.

S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-24 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Guard has played a vital role in the defense of this nation's threats since the country's inception. Over 200 years ago, the militia helped George Washington strike a blow against the British after they forced him from New York and pursued the Continental Army across New Jersey. Today the nation faces the new challenge of how to best defend itself against cyber attacks. Just as the militia, forbearers to the National Guard, enabled George Washington's attack against Trenton, the National Guard stands ready today to work with Department of Defense (DoD) to counter the growing cyber threat. Given the challenges facing the United States to develop a comprehensive cyber strategy, the question is why and how should DoD integrate the National Guard into the national cyber forces. DoD should integrate the National Guard into the national cyber forces because of the cyber threats and the need for assistance at the state level. In addition, existing Guard cyber capabilities, Presidential, Congressional, and Department of Homeland Security mandates to protect critical infrastructure, and US Army doctrine points to full integration as the best path to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative to gain and maintain a position of relative advantage. A home or business computer user does not buy a computer and connect to the internet without taking precautions. Most users understand the threats and design a layered defense to protect their computer and information. This defense could include installing anti-virus software and setting passwords for the computer, router, and modem. Users also practice good security by not downloading files from unknown sources or clicking on hyperlinks included in spam email. Doing only one of these things would leave the computer vulnerable, but all together they create a strong defense against unauthorized use or viruses. In a similar manner, DoD needs to take a multi-layered approach when confronting threats in the cyber domain. The National Guard is one of those critical resources. Cyber Soldiers within the National Guard have attended the required schools as their active duty counterparts, have participated in many of the same exercises, and have developed innovative capabilities to assist states in their response to growing cyber threats. Even though the National Guard currently fulfills a limited role in the current cyber mission force construct, Guard leadership has developed robust cyber capabilities from its Army and Air National Guard cyber Soldiers and Airmen. Many leaders such as Major General William Reddel, New Hampshire Adjutant General, saw the threat, realized the Guard could help when an attacks occurs, and began lobbying for a more defined role for Guard cyber forces. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, also recognized the Guard's unique capabilities that give it the ability to serve through its dual status authorities, both Title 10 and Title 32, to work with DoD, but also with community partners in the state to help secure cyber networks.

Book excerpt: "This web-exclusive Land Warfare Paper advocates training servicemembers in the RC to respond to cyber threats and to assist in building cyber defenses for the Army. Because these servicemembers are already in place and would not require mobilization and because many of them bring cyber capabilities from their civilian jobs, giving them an education in cyber warfare would be an economical investment that would bolster the Army's capability. Building an 'operational cyberspace reserve' would provide agile and adaptive leaders and would integrate experienced network operators who use innovation and initiative to support Army and U.S. Cyber Command requirements"--Publisher's web site.
