A very well-put-together study that demonstrates the need for Cyber to have a branch of its own. https://lnkd.in/e7waGK6y

🔒 A Call to Arms: Championing the U.S. Cyber Force In a powerful report by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), the case for a dedicated U.S. Cyber Force is laid out crystal clear. Dive into the historical context, challenges, and the potential shape of this crucial defense arm. #DefendTheCyberspace #FutureOfDefense #CyberRescue

It's high time we shift our perspective on cyber capabilities from a novelty, tucked away and pampered by an operations section, to recognizing it as a formidable weapon that demands deployment at the most granular levels of our forces. Cybersecurity measures and the authority to request cyber support—cyber fires—must be decisively delegated down the chain of command, empowering Battalion Commanders in the Fleet and Company Commanders in MARSOC. This radical decentralization ensures our cyber capabilities are as responsive and adaptive as the combat situations they aim to dominate. https://lnkd.in/eq-Qy4iQ

Truly interesting times ahead as we approach the measure/counter-measure race that is happening with a fervor not seen since the World War 2 armor/anti-armor fight. The need for an organic EW/SIGINT system for dismounts in LSCO is becoming increasingly obvious. Fortunately, rapid fielding initiatives are happening with serviceable systems currently available. However, what's really needed is an army-wide scrub of dismounted TTPs for ES/EA, as our old methodologies of these disciplines may result in a lot of Russian videos of EW/SIGINT teams getting eliminated by drones with the current SOPs for dismounted EW operations. Let's hope there's an iceberg here of mounted/airborne systems in the pipeline that we're not seeing.

In a future operating environment, sophisticated adversary cyber technologies could inhibit the Air Force’s ability to achieve its number one role for the joint force: air superiority. While the Department of Defense has teams that conduct cyber operations, those joint forces are limited in number and focused on attacking enemy systems and defending the network. As such, the Air Force believes it needs its own cyber capabilities to ensure it can gain and maintain air superiority. https://hubs.li/Q02yqhft0

The current model for military services providing forces to U.S. Cyber Command is broken, and the only way to fix it is establishing an independent cyber service, a new report asserts.
