A seventh branch of the military is needed to address rising threats
What everyone seems to agree on is that cyberspace is an increasingly crucial part of the country's larger defense posture – particularly given the ongoing actions by China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, as well as for-profit independent groups.
Congress asked the DoD for such a study three years ago, according to Representative Michael Gallagher , chair of the House Cyber, Information Technologies, and Innovation Subcommittee. During aof the subcommittee last month, Gallagher said an analysis of the costs, benefits, and value of a Cyber Force was to have been included in the latest Cyber Posture Review and he criticized the DoD for not producing it.
Plumb noted that President Biden's recent budget proposal calls for $13.5 billion for DoD cyberspace efforts – a $1.8 billion increase from the current budget – and $3 billion for US Cyber Command. He added that"these investments will enhance the department's cybersecurity, the increased capacity for cyberspace operations, and will advance research and development activities for new cyber capabilities.
Within Cyber Command is the Cyber Mission Force – the"action arm" that includes more than 6,000 people from different military branches. General Paul Nakasone, commander of Cyber Command and director of the National Security Agency , said during the CITI hearing that the Cyber Mission Force currently has 133 teams – including Cyber Protection, Cyber Combat Mission, and Cyber Support teams – but is expected to expand to 147.
