Today's Recruitment and Retention of the DoD Cyber Workforce Through the Lens of World War 2 and Bletchley Park

Abstract

Similar to the codebreaking efforts at Bletchley Park, cyber warfare is an intellectual battle; one that will be driven by a cadre of primarily civilian expertise complemented with military leadership. With the deadline of the Cyber Mission Force to reach initial operating capability looming, USCYBERCOM should consider looking beyond military personnel to the civilian sector for their full integration within USCYBERCOM in conjunction with developing part-time civilian tech partnerships. To do so would mean that USCYBERCOM recognizes that the success of their organization will come at the hands of civilians led by military leaders, solidifying that the success of military operations far exceeds the capacity of the standing military.
