With thousands of cyber troops spread across the military, and U.S. Cyber Command trying to pull it all together, America’s digital warfighting capability is fractured, inconsistent, and losing talent fast. As cyberattacks from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea grow more sophisticated, some experts say the answer isn’t more training or better software – it’s a brand-new branch of the military: a U.S. Cyber Force.
In this video, we break down how the U.S. currently fights in cyberspace, how programs like PCTE and DoD 8140 are trying to fix a broken system, and whether an independent Cyber Force is the only way forward. From SOCOM comparisons to direct commissioning and burnout, this is the full story of how the U.S. military is struggling to fight, and win, in cyberspace.
