A Work in Progress: The Human Dimension in Cyberspace

Abstract

The Department of Defense should establish a separate cyber service in order to man and train the best possible force to fight in cyberspace. Discussion: Seven years after the inception of USCYBERCOM, it is time to analyze the necessity for a separate cyber service within the Department of Defense.

The services are still working to build training programs and fill cyber billets. Now is the time to institute major changes to the cyber force while the culture is still malleable.
