Army and Navy cyber command ready way ahead of schedule

November 8, 2017 By Andrew Smith

U.S. Army Cyber Command announced November 2 that all 41 of its active duty Cyber Mission Force teams were validated as having achieved full operational capability in September 2017, more than a year ahead of schedule.

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.

Note: The Army Cyber Command is headquartered at Fort Gordon in Augusta, GA.  In June of 2017, groundbreaking was held for the 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.  For more information, see: http://gtpac.org/2017/06/21/new-training-center-in-augusta-to-counter-emerging-cyberthreats/

New training center in Augusta to counter emerging cyberthreats

June 21, 2017 By Andrew Smith

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.
