The US Navy has taken significant steps to strengthen its cyber mission force, addressing concerns raised by Congress and experts. The force, responsible for critical cyber operations, has undergone comprehensive evaluation and analysis, resulting in a series of initiatives to improve its readiness.
One of the key areas of improvement focused on enhancing training and talent management. By developing a force generation engine, the Navy ensured that personnel received comprehensive training before being assigned to teams, significantly improving readiness levels.
Collaboration with U.S. Cyber Command also enabled easier access to necessary training, increasing personnel numbers and overall training levels. The Navy has now set a goal of maintaining teams at 90 percent or above manning levels, reflecting the understanding that constant readiness is essential for effective cyber operations.
With these improvements, the Navy is on track to add additional teams to meet the authorized growth set by the Department of Defense. These reforms have positioned the force for future success in the ever-evolving cyber landscape.
