The Provision of Cyber Manpower: Creating a Virtual Reserve

Abstract

Cyber manpower demands raise challenges similar to other high-demand specialties. This article looks at the viability of adapting the manpower model of the Public Health Services Reserve Commissioned Corps to the cyber domain. A reserve paramilitary force could serve interchangeably across the military and interagency without law of war restrictions, would provide a lower-cost manpower option than full-time active duty, and could complement not compete with the civilian cyber sector. Last, targeted training, education, and retention could shape this reserve force to meet emerging demands.
