The item topped a list of four unfunded priorities totaling $93.4 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoD has said that the vast SolarWinds breach of federal and business networks, attributed to the Russian foreign intelligence service, did not affect its own systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI ask your committee to support these priorities \u2026 to help us strengthen military readiness and alliances, secure the homeland from cyberspace attack and advance national interests,\u201d Gen. Paul Nakasone, commander of Cyber Command wrote in the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber intrusions and ransomware incidents are rising to epidemic status, according to some cybersecurity analysts, leading the federal government to prioritize response efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, the largest slice of the Pentagon\u2019s $10 billion cyber request asked for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2021\/05\/28\/after-years-of-flat-cybersecurity-budgets-dod-asks-for-more-money-and-cyber-mission-force-personnel\/\" target=\"_blank\">$5.6 billion to protect IT systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber Command\u2019s No. 2 unfunded priority is $23.3 million for cyber training. The command, through service acquisition executives, is building an online training system called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2021\/01\/28\/latest-version-of-cyber-training-to-roll-out-in-coming-months\/\" target=\"_blank\">Persistent Cyber Training Environment<\/a>, which allows forces to conduct individual and collective training as well as mission rehearsal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other two items listed are $3.2 million for human intelligence to help the command build an organic intelligence capability to access strategic targets and $4.8 million for acquisition personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber Command has worked for several years to establish an acquisition structure with Congress, which in 2016 authorized limited purchasing authority described as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/dod\/cybercom\/2018\/09\/07\/cyber-commands-acquisition-authority-still-in-its-infancy\/\" target=\"_blank\">crawl, walk, run approach<\/a> to ensure the young command could get the plan up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the most recent annual defense bill, Congress eliminated the $75 million acquisition cap on Cyber Command and enhanced the commander\u2019s authority to oversee programs and priorities. However, the services still run major programs on behalf of the command and joint cyber mission force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $4.8 million would go toward integrating the command\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2021\/06\/04\/cyber-command-plans-bigger-budget-for-mission-planning-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture<\/a>, which guides its acquisition priorities. Congress and the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2020\/11\/19\/us-cyber-commands-capability-efforts-lack-clarity-says-government-watchdog\/\" target=\"_blank\">gave the command poor marks for the architecture<\/a>, citing integration and oversight problems. The command has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2021\/03\/12\/cyber-command-works-to-address-criticism-over-how-it-integrates-tools-challenges-remain\/\" target=\"_blank\">since sought to
