“The conferees agree that intelligence support to the planning and execution of cyber operations conducted below the level of armed conflict, for preparation of the operational environment, and at each level of operational art — strategic, operational, and tactical — must be substantially improved.” I could not agree more. We must arm our formations, at the lowest level, with the information to conduct #cyber preparation of the environment and become integral in the staff estimate. We struggled with this and nobody felt it was “their” task. No formation, regardless of size, should deploy without knowing the cyber environment AND their inherent weaknesses of their network overlayed by the adversary’s motives, methods and intent. But the DoD cannot do it alone and must partner with the commercial industry to provide not only the complete cyber threat intelligence picture but also one that is easily shareable across #coalitions and mission partner environments.

The Pentagon is kicking off a series of pilots and “sprints” to evaluate and improve how it provides what it calls foundational cyber intelligence. In his first two months as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, as part of his threefold approach to setting the organization’s course, is addressing new and emerging security and intelligence challenges that include, among others, cyber and AI. As part of that effort, he has launched a 90-day sprint to address foundational military intelligence for cyber, Kruse told the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations. https://lnkd.in/ejKWWmYM

More thoughts on the case for a Cyber Force and the FY25 NDAA from Rep. Fallon in Newsweek: “a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers is pursuing legislation in support of a Cyber Force. Our priority in this year's National Defense Authorization Act utilizes an independent, objective approach to evaluate how a notional, unified Cyber Force would compare to the present, fragmented approach by each of the four services.” Check it out: https://lnkd.in/eJfi9dVe

Interesting…I’ll just leave this right here. A New Branch of the Armed Forces is Critical to Addressing Cyber Threats to America Newsweek, by Pat Fallon, June 6 Opinion. While there's no shortage of threats to our national security, it's the ability of our adversaries to affect Americans through cyberspace that has emerged as one of the most pressing concerns of the 21st century. The United States Armed Forces need a coherent solution to the looming threat of debilitating cyber attacks today and a path forward to leverage the field of cyber to our advantage on the battlefield of tomorrow. ... We could avoid further misallocation of time and resources by getting to work on establishing a U.S. Cyber Force here and now. https://lnkd.in/dYZt4Heq

My expert opinion, increase the pay of cyber in the military (across the board). -Massive increase in the pay for the cyber warriors -Massive increase in the alotted funds toward cyber Invest in the next war now, or pay for it in the future.

Senior Research Scientist at the Center for Naval Analyses; A "gadfly" most the time, and by that I mean μύωψ. Though, the Athenians did kill Socrates.
My 2 Pennies… as someone who has “not sat behind a keyboard” but does have a lot of experience looking across bureacracies in DoD. On the one hand, yes- all the points made would be very good for operational purposes. On the other hand, nothing comes out as you envision. Figuring out funding… ostensibly easy on paper, extremely difficult in practice. Figuring out authorities- ostensibly easy on paper, difficult in practice. Figuring out personnel… this is actually again, tricky. Personnel have identities attached to their Services. So… giving up Army, Navy, Air Force… etc is not so simple…and you need to draw people from existing orgs for quite some time. Space Force is part of DAF and still working out a lot of topics… culture being a big one. And it still seems to be battling other Services (Army) trying to stand up positions and jobs that are ostensibly their domain and authority. The bureaucracy - as a good friend likes to say- is a giant hairball. Dave Lyle Also- the debate for over a decade about the head of Cybercom also being the head of NSA still seems noteworthy in this discusssion. If only because that dual-hatted role has given many people headaches and heartburn… but was deemed operationally necessary. So seems then that you have to add that bureacractic quirk to the pot too.
An independent U.S. Cyber Force is not just a strategic necessity but an inevitable progression in the evolution of military operations, Daniel Van Wagenen and Kim Irving write in this Op-Ed. "The idea of an independent U.S. Cyber Force has been in the news of late due to the National Defense Authorization Act amendment calling for a feasibility study of such a service. In the last few weeks, there have been several articles urging caution, or coming straight out against, creating a Cyber Force, without any one of the author’s ever having sat on mission behind a keyboard. We’re here to tell you that they’re wrong. Dead wrong. These are individuals who, had they been in a command position a century ago, would have dispatched horse cavalry forces against tanks and machine gun emplacements, demonstrating their inability to adapt to evolving natures of warfare. And their folly will lead to considerable American casualties in the next war should the country not have an independent cyber warfighting capability."

BLUF: USG Mental Health Policy revisions are essential for any such plan's success. Neurodiversity or Neurodivergence signifies the spectrum of variations in human brain function and cognition across individuals, impacting areas like sociability, learning, attention, mood, and more. Some of the most exceptional cybersecurity experts I've encountered embrace their neurodiversity, often referred to as being #NeuroSpicy. So, what does this entail, and why is it significant? Intuitive Insights: Individuals who are Neuro-Spicy are celebrated for their potent intuitive skills, which empower them to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities that may not be readily apparent. Their ability to decipher complex patterns and anticipate outcomes is critical for detecting and countering cybersecurity threats. Attention to Detail: Those who are Neuro-Spicy have a remarkable attention to detail, essential in the realm of cybersecurity. They thoroughly examine code, systems, and security measures to spot weaknesses or irregularities signaling potential breaches. Empathy and Understanding of Human Behavior: Cybersecurity transcends technological concerns, requiring a deep understanding of human behavior. These individuals possess profound empathy and insight into human motivations, allowing them to foresee and thwart social engineering schemes, phishing attempts, and other exploits rooted in psychological manipulation. Ethical Commitment: Guided by robust internal principles, Neuro-Spicy individuals are committed to ethical practices. This moral foundation is pivotal in cybersecurity, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and upholding the principles of privacy, integrity, and access in digital spaces. Strategic Thinking and Problem-Solving: Known for their strategic approach and problem-solving prowess, Neuro-Spicy individuals can critically evaluate security strategies, formulate detailed plans to safeguard digital assets, and creatively address complex cybersecurity challenges. The establishment of this cyber service would be futile unless the U.S. government alters its stance on the treatment of Neuro-Spicy individuals. Currently, serving in the military is prohibited for those under treatment with certain medications like Adderall and THC, commonly prescribed for neurodiverse conditions. While some individuals rely on coffee to kickstart their day, others need medication to focus their thoughts or complete a task. Ultimately, this issue centers around people. Prioritizing their well-being enables them to tackle larger challenges. It's time for a serious discussion on #mentalhealth and public service. The two are not mutually exclusive, contrary to outdated HR policies dating back to the 1940s. Until then, we are excluding a large portion of candidates because of a valid doctor's prescription.
America needs to establish an independent military cyber service because the current system is "broken," according to a new report from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Mark Pomerleau has a deep dive on the push for a new U.S. Cyber Force: https://lnkd.in/e33WaYxv
