As such, these units need specialized equipment and received training from Army Cyber Command on offensive and defensive cyber operations, as well as electronic warfare and information operations, <span class=\"js-paste-start-7KK7FO3AE5HQFHZQ2AZQMTOJZ4\">Army Cyber Command commander Lt.

The command\u2019s tailored support sought to advise SFAB personnel how<font> best to leverage a remote enterprise to achieve mission effects, according to the spokesman.

Electronic warfare personnel from 1st SFAB were also briefed on how cyber capabilities in use in Afghanistan currently support U.S. Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specifically, the trainers provided the unit\u2019s communications teams best practices to harden networks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army Cyber Command team discussed planning factors
