EVENT: Exploring the Potential of a U.S. Cyber Force
Late last year, the commander of U.S. Cyber Command observed that the current state of U.S. military cyber organization is unsustainable. Bipartisan members of Congress have for a decade expressed deep concern about the inability of the existing military services to recruit, train, and equip sufficient personnel to meet growing cyber challenges. America’s cyber force generation system is clearly broken. FDD’s Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation is releasing a comprehensive report that explores the viability of establishing an independent cyber service: U.S. Cyber Force.
