Col. Chad Harris, project manager for Defensive Cyber Operations at the Army Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS), spoke with Fifth Domain at the Association of the U.S. Army conference Oct. 15 about what\u2019s changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Forge was brand new,\u201d Harris told Fifth Domain. \u201cWe hadn\u2019t really demonstrated the capability. And so it was a great idea \u2014 it was a concept that was starting to come to fruition. But it still had not done anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Tracking wins<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using other transaction agreements, which allow the government to buy faster from pre-approved vendors, the team in Fort Belvoir, Va. was established to speed up the pace of acquiring cyber products. The purpose of the Forge is to capture innovative products from vendors of all sizes, from traditional defense contractors to small start-ups. This allows the Army to listen to a \u201cdiversity of thought,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat you miss out on is those young, new, non-traditional companies that are at the very cutting edge of technology bringing new things to the marketplace that maybe you\u2019re not seeing in other places,&#8221; Harris told Fifth Domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One success for the Forge has been its work consolidating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/video\/2019\/05\/29\/an-inside-look-at-the-forge-armys-hive-for-defensive-cyber-operations\/\" target=_blank>a defense cyber operations kit<\/a>, Harris said. The kit originally weighed well over 100 pounds, but needed to fit into an aircraft\u2019s overhead bin. The team was tasked with making the kit both smaller and lighter. In less than eight months, the Forge staff was able to shrink the size down to a small box by working with six different vendors, Lt. Col. Scott Helmore, then the cyber platforms and systems product manager at the Forge, told Fifth Domain in May. The previous kit was designed, built and produced over 18 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Forge also held an event earlier this year to fulfill needs for high speed data transport and received 168 responses from industry, a figure Army leaders viewed as a huge success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were able to reach a wide array of vendors,\u201d Harris said. \u201cAnd then we were able to have one-on-one sessions with each one of them, down select with our evaluation teams, and then we were able to find a couple key pieces of capability that then we &#8230; put those on agreements through our OTA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Staffing challenges<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Forge, like organizations throughout the government and private sector, is working through its own challenges associated with the cyber workforce shortage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe don\u2019t have enough highly trained cybersoldiers,\u201d Harris said. \u201cAnd we\u2019re working to alleviate that. What we can do from an acquisition perspective is get automation in there, get machine learning in where we are making those those individual soldiers more operationally effective by giving them tools that are easy to use, that are intuitive [and] that can be automated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shortage is slowing down <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/army\/2019\/10\/15\/heres-what-the-armys-cyber-protection-teams-need\/\" target=_blank>several areas of the Forge\u2019s work<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are key skill sets that &#8230; they\u2019re hard to find,\u201d Harris said. \u201cData science, experts in coding, software development, they are hard to find.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>What comes next<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, Harris said the Forge will look for new opportunities to expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow do we let people know what we\u2019re doing and take advantage of the capability that resides in [the Forge],&#8221; he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Army Cyber Command moving to Fort Gordon in Georgia, Harris said he sees a chance to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Forge \u2014 it\u2019s a physical location, but it\u2019s also a virtual environment.&#8221; Harris said. \u201cSo there\u2019s no reason we can\u2019t extend that Forge environment down to Fort Gordon. And we\u2019re already doing so with the battle lab and with our armory facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest lesson Harris said the Forge learned is the importance of constant communication with vendors of all levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can never have too much collaboration,&#8221; Harris said. \u201cYou can never communicate too much.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Forge&#8217;s project manager discusses its successes and how it could grow in the next
