Paul Craft, director of operations, J3 at JFHQ-DoDIN told Fifth Domain. \u201cWe will lay down what we see off every sensor, what\u2019s going on. That goes in the daily report, then we do a deep dive on Thursdays and our larger commander update brief on what exactly is going down and where, down to who is being spearphished, who\u2019s being whaled, what tunnels are opening up in what counties, what our concerns are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liberto said the initial capability of the cell was recognized immediately by Cyber Command and \u201cwithin their battle rhythm we briefed them specifically on those countermeasures and internal defensive measures to protect the DoDIN.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cell, he added, is still maturing a year in.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/cyber\/2018\/01\/12\/defensive-cyber-continues-to-mature-still-lags-offensive-cyber\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/army-cyber.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Defensive cyber continues to mature, still lags offensive cyber<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Cyber Command\u2019s defensive operational arm \u2013 Joint Force Headquarters-DoD Information Networks, or JFHQ-DoDIN \u2013 is slated to reach full operational capability this month, its deputy commander said Thursday.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Craft explained that the intelligence directorate within JFHQ-DoDIN is working to gain expertise from the active duty side and the reserves to bolster the information coming in.

We have to make a conscious decision, human in the loop, on if we do block this activity, then we will lose the ability to gain intelligence on it if we stop it,\u201d Craft told Fifth Domain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Craft added that every attack makes the team better and smarter as it provides valuable insights into adversarial tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are capturing what the enemy is doing, how they\u2019re doing it, their behaviors, so that we can prevent the next attack.
