This agreement is valued at $215.19 million over six years and provides the flexibility to develop cyber training capabilities for the future, Cyber Command said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cybercom.mil\/Media\/News\/Article\/2434919\/us-and-australia-sign-first-ever-cyber-agreement-to-develop-virtual-training-ra\/\" target=\"_blank\">release Dec. 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/show-reporter\/cybercon\/2020\/10\/28\/cyberwarriors-receive-updated-training-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\">PCTE <\/a>is an online client that allows Cyber Command\u2019s warriors to log on from anywhere in the world to conduct individual or collective cyber training and mission rehearsal. In the physical world, military forces regularly go to a training facility, such as the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, to work on particular concepts or rehearse before deploying. But a robust environment has not existed for the Department of Defense\u2019s cyber warriors, creating readiness gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program is run by the Army on behalf of the joint cyber force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAustralia and the U.S. have a strong history of working together to develop our cyber capabilities and train our people to fight and win in cyberspace,\u201d said Australian Army Maj. Gen. Marcus Thompson, the Australian signatory and head of Information Warfare for the Australian Defence Force. \u201cThis arrangement will be an important part of the ADF\u2019s training program, and we look forward to the mutual benefits it will bring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, the two countries created cyber training ranges separately, which could take months and stymied cooperation efforts, Cyber Command noted. U.S. officials have long held that the military will never fight alone, and this extends to cyberspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis project arrangement is a milestone for U.S.-Australian cooperation. It is the first cyber-only arrangement established between the U.S. Army and an allied nation, which highlights the value of Australia\u2019s partnership in the simulated training domain,\u201d said Elizabeth Wilson, U.S. signatory and Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Defense Exports and Cooperation. \u201cTo counter known and potential adversarial threats, the Army has recalibrated our strategic thinking; we\u2019ve made smart decisions to refocus our efforts to invest in the new, emerging and smart technologies that will strengthen our ability to fight and win our nation\u2019s wars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gen. Paul Nakasone, head of Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, has made partnerships \u2014 with other nations, private sector actors and academia \u2014 a key pillar of his tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber Command has deployed personnel to other nations to conduct what it calls <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/dod\/2020\/02\/12\/how-hunt-forward-teams-can-help-defend-networks\/\" target=\"_blank\">hunt forward<\/a> missions, which serve the dual role of helping shore up defenses of partners while allowing U.S. cyber personnel to potentially uncover tools used by adversaries to better understand their techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congress, in the annual defense policy bill for fiscal 2021, also authorized a pilot program with Vietnam \u2014 which many cyber experts assert is rapidly growing its cyber capabilities \u2014 Thailand and Indonesia to enhance their cybersecurity, resilience and readiness of military forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The allies strengthened their partnership on a training
