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.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

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.

This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cyberspace is fundamentally changing how the military conceptualizes warfare. As such, the old paradigms of personnel management that have served the USAF for so well must evolve to accommodate a new breed of warfighter. Yet, cultural biases have prevented utilization of this inherently technical rank tier which have prevented implementation of effective management practices and thus necessitates a need for flexible options now - particularly in light of legal constraints preventing actions to support recruitment and retention of cyber operators. Further, the coming October 2018 deadline for Cyber Mission Force (CMF) full operating capability (FOC) is fast approaching making this change urgent. The USAF lags significantly behind the Army and Navy who have already achieved FOC a full year ahead of schedule. The USAF needs the flexibility, particularly in the technology-rich cyber environment, that the Warrant Officer rank provides and the CMF provides the perfect change catalyst to demonstrate its utility for the rest of the force."--Abstract.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With the rapid advancement of technology, Air Force missions are becoming increasingly dependent on cyberspace. These dependencies on networks and computers open up new attack vectors adversaries can exploit to put our missions at risk. Aware of this threat, U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) created defensive teams under the Cyber Mission Force (CMF) construct to protect missions and defeat adversaries in cyberspace. Cyberspace Protection Teams (CPTs) stood up under CMF with the purpose of augmenting our traditional defensive measures and defending priority networks against priority threats (Kirschbaum, 2019). However, CPTs have a limitation. They are not permanently assigned to any one mission set and are often walking in blind to new networks as their tasking process dictates. CPTs, while adept at techniques for tracking down adversaries, have a big challenge in becoming familiar with a new environment making it very difficult to baseline “normal” operation of a network. To help address this limitation, the Cyber Squadron Initiative (CS-I) was created by the Air Force and then implemented by a Program Action Directive (Headquarters United States Air Force (HQ USAF), 2020). This initiative formalized the decision to “execute wing-level mission assurance capabilities” with a new team type: Mission Defense Teams (MDT) (Air Combat Command, 2020). Wing commanders would now be able to transform their communications squadrons, with a focus on availability and the functioning of a network, into a cyber squadron that also provides persistent mission assurance through MDTs. By staying within the wing, MDTs can now focus their efforts on the Wing Commander’s priorities and spend as much as needed to create an effective baseline – something a CPT cannot do. MDTs, as a new team, need a training pipeline. Air Combat Command (ACC) is responsible for Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) requirements, to include training (Headquarters United States Air Force (HQ USAF), 2020). One might think of an MDT as a CPT that stays in place and naturally leverage the existing CPT training pipeline. This argument, alongside the associated cost savings, might seem like a good idea, but requires proper implementation to be completely effective. MDTs face many unique training and integration issues that CPT training cannot account for."--Page [2].

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.
