Paul Nakasone told lawmakers<\/a> April 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are a different force today than we were even four years ago, when I took over,\u201d Nakasone told a House Armed Services subcommittee. \u201cSo, my sense is that while 14 teams is likely the start, I would not be surprised if the department comes to a determination that more are necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakasone is also the director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2022\/02\/01\/nsas-cybersecurity-directorate-looks-to-scale-up-this-year\/\" target=\"_blank\">National Security Agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cyber Mission Force has been dubbed the \u201caction arm,\u201d as it executes Department of Defense cyber operations. The DoD began constructing the force in 2012; all teams hit full operational capability some six years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2022\/03\/28\/pentagon-seeks-112-billion-for-cyber-in-fy23-budget-request\/\" target=\"_blank\">$11.2 billion cyber budget request<\/a> for fiscal year 2023 included the addition of five cyber teams, bumping the total to 142. Nakasone acknowledged the near-term expansion Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe originally built the force in the department \u2014 133 teams that were dedicated to our Cyber Mission Force,\u201d the general said. \u201cThe previous secretary of defense has approved a 14-team growth in the future years defense plan. We\u2019re going to grow five more teams this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A review of exactly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2021\/05\/14\/will-the-cyber-mission-force-soon-receive-more-personnel\/\" target=\"_blank\">how many cyber teams<\/a> are needed is ongoing, Nakasone told lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cyberspace Solarium Commission \u2014 a bipartisan group assembled to flesh out U.S. cyber strategy \u2014 in a 2020 report recommended growing the Cyber Mission Force in proportion with a swelling scope of threats and mission requirements. Cyber campaigns and day-to-day work, the report noted, demand \u201ca significant investment in time, skill, resources, and human capital.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakasone in 2021 told Congress a 133-team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/cyber\/2021\/06\/14\/air-force-would-contribute-bulk-of-new-cyber-mission-force-teams\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cyber Mission Force <\/a>was simply not enough: \u201cThe strategic environment has changed since the original CMF was designated in 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine in February and the ongoing war have placed increased attention on the digital domain, where hackers and other malicious players have launched attack after attack. Cyber Command has played a key role in identifying threats and protecting networks at home and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakasone on April 5 said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2022\/03\/14\/blue-yellow-and-gray-zone-the-cyber-factor-in-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">operations in Ukraine<\/a> are teaching Cyber Command \u201ca tremendous amount\u201d about how things are done and what is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy goal is a command that remains world-class,\u201d he said, \u201cready and capable of providing options and conducting operations in defense of the nation, with wider partnerships and exceptional talent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We are a different force today than we were even four years ago, when I took over,&#8221; Gen.
