FORT MEADE, Md. -- All 133 of U.S. Cyber Command’s cyber mission forcefulness teams achieved amount operational capability, Cybercom officials announced today.
Having Cybercom accomplish amount operational capability early on is a will to the commitment of the military machine services toward ensuring the nation’s cyber forcefulness is fully trained too equipped to defend the nation inwards cyberspace.
To laissez passer on amount operational capability, teams met a rigorous laid of criteria, including an approved concept of functioning too a high per centum of trained, qualified too certified personnel. As business office of the certification process, teams had to exhibit they could perform their mission nether stress inwards simulated, real-world weather equally business office of specialized preparation events.
Defending Cyberspace, Providing Capabilities
“I’m proud of these service men too women for their commitment to developing the skills too capabilities necessary to defend our networks too deliver cyberspace operational capabilities to the nation,” said Army Gen. Paul M. Nakasone, Cybercom’s commander.
Cybercom leaders emphasize that piece this is an of import milestone, to a greater extent than function remains. Now, the focus volition shift toward readiness to perform the mission too deliver optimized mission outcomes, continuously.
“As the construct of the cyber mission forcefulness wraps up, we’re apace shifting gears from forcefulness generation to sustainable readiness,” Nakasone said. “We must ensure nosotros convey the platforms, capabilities too government gear upward too available to generate cyberspace outcomes when needed.”
The cyber mission forcefulness has been edifice capability too capacity since 2013, when the forcefulness construction was developed too the services began to champaign too educate the forcefulness of over 6,200 soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines too civilians.
The mission did non await piece teams were building. While they were inwards development, or “build status,” teams inwards the cyber mission forcefulness were conducting operations to safeguard the nation.
“It’s 1 matter to construct an organization from the the world up, simply these teams were beingness tasked operationally piece they were growing capability,” Nakasone said. “I am surely that these teams volition tumble out to reckon the challenges of this rapidly evolving too dynamic domain.”
Cyber Mission Force
The cyber mission forcefulness is Cybercom’s activity arm, too its teams execute the command’s mission to direct, synchronize too coordinate cyberspace operations inwards defense forcefulness of the nation’s interests.
Cyber mission forcefulness teams back upward this mission through their specific respective assignments:
-- Cyber national mission teams defend the nation past times identifying adversary activity, blocking attacked too maneuvering to defeat them.
-- Cyber combat mission teams acquit military machine cyberspace operations inwards back upward of combatant commander priorities too missions.
-- Cyber protection teams defend DoD’s data network, protect priority missions too prepare cyber forces for combat.
