Cyberspace Operations Forces and Force Support

Abstract

The Persistent Training Environment (PTE) will provide the Department of Defense (DoD) cyber forces with a capability that uses a combination of loosely affiliated or independent virtual environments with varied capabilities that are not scalable or extensible. The current environment constrains training capabilities and capacity, but lack a joint or standard approach consistent with a broader vision of PTE. PTE system approaches are aligned to the outputs of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (OUSD AT&L) and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) J6 led, “Cyber Range Evaluation of Alternatives (EOA) Findings and Issue Paper Deliberations,” dated 17 November 2015. The US Army acknowledges it is the lead candidate service to perform as the Executive Agent (EA) for Cyber Training Ranges and DoD Acquisition Lead for the PTE.
