The Army and Navy components of the military’s Cyber Mission Forces have reached full operational capability, the services announced Thursday, beating their 2018 deadline by roughly a year.

The Army and Navy announcement marks a major milestone for U.S. Cyber Command, which has grown since 2010 from a rough plan to build a military unit complementary to the largely civilian National Security Agency to what will soon be a full combatant command.

Together, the Army and Navy components comprise about 60 percent of the 6,200 cyber troops divided among 133 teams that will make up a fully operational U.S. Cyber Command next year.

Former Army officer charged with bribery and fraud in connection with Ft. Gordon contracts

By

A retired Army colonel whose business company reportedly was used to commit bribery to obtain more than $20 million in government contracts has been charged with conspiracy.

A conspiracy charge was lodged Monday, Oct. 2, 2017 in U.S. District Court against Calvin Devear Lawyer that charges him with conspiracy, a crime punishable by up to five years.

According to court documents, Lawyer set up a company named Communications, Research, Engineering and Consultant Group before he retired from the Army after 20 years in February 2008. The purpose of the company was to try to win contracts with the U.S. government and private contractors.

But the company was used to bribe those responsible for awarding contracts and bid-rigging at Fort Gordon, according to the documents.

New training center in Augusta to counter emerging cyberthreats

By

This is a rendering of the future $60 million Georgia Cyber Innovation and Training Center to be built in downtown Augusta.

In December, as the legislative session was about to kick into high gear, two well-connected Georgia business leaders approached Gov. Nathan Deal’s office with an ambitious idea for the state to build a high-tech training center to assist the NSA and U.S. Army Cyber Command, which just weeks earlier had broken ground on its future headquarters at Fort Gordon.

It would need to be built quickly to stringent national security specifications to handle classified intelligence. But such a center could bolster the state’s claim as a vital center in the nation’s sprawling intelligence network.

The Army Cyber Command is headquartered at Fort Gordon.

On Monday, just six months later, Gov. Nathan Deal and leaders in Augusta held a ceremonial groundbreaking to mark construction of the Georgia Cyber Innovation and Training Center, a $60 million compound that will feature research and classroom space for Augusta University and the state’s technical colleges, as well as office space for established and startup companies.

About 28,000 civilians in Georgia work in cybersecurity. About 13,000, including military personnel, work in cybersecurity in the Augusta area, Deal said Monday.

$20 million bribery, fraud indictment returned against military personnel at Fort Gordon

By

An indictment returned by a federal grand jury accuses a Fort Gordon active-duty Army colonel, his wife and a former defense contractor employee of rigging bids to defraud the government of more than $20 million.

The indictment accuses Anthony Tyrone Roper, 55, Audra Roper, 49, and Dwayne Oswald Fulton, 58, of taking part in a bribery and kickback scheme from 2008. Col. Roper, his wife and others are accused of soliciting and accepting cash bribes in exchange for rigging the award of Army contracts.

The indictment further alleges that in an attempt to hide their bribery and fraud schemes, the Ropers and Fulton attempted to obstruct an official investigation into their criminal conduct.
