It\u2019ll require event management; scheduling for training exercises; scenario design features; control of the exercises; assessments; red forces; library of capabilities that can be linked to designing adversary network mock-ups (which will require good intelligence); and classrooms to put all this together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason such a high-end training environment is being fast-tracked is because cyberwarriors don\u2019t currently have anything akin to what traditional war fighters use to prepare for combat. Capstone cyber exercises that only occur once or twice a year are not enough for the force, and in many cases the first-time cyberwarriors will engage with an adversary in the real world and not in simulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s like a fighter pilot going up and the first time he\u2019s flown actual combat is against a real adversary,\u201d Keffer told Fifth Domain. \u201cThat\u2019s not a good way to fight wars. That\u2019s not a good way to train your troops. That\u2019s not a good way to decrease the risk to your forces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Incremental approach<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The overall PCTE is made up of a number of cyber investment challenges, or CICs, that the Army is releasing incrementally and will eventually string together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will \u201cbring together some of the best technology that\u2019s out there\u201d to address immediate needs in various categories as the longer-term vision of what PCTE might look like coalesces, Deon Viergutz, vice president of Cyber Solutions at Lockheed Martin, told Fifth Domain in an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army will release five CIC\u2019s to get multiple industry approaches as it heads up the full PCTE indefinite delivery\/indefinite quantity contract, Viergutz said, adding, \u201cI believe that is still under work, the long term for PCTE and the acquisition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While CIC one has been awarded, CIC two should be awarded in the next few weeks. According to contracting documents, <a href=\"https:\/\/trainingaccelerator.org\/2018\/02\/pcte-cic-2-rwp\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">CIC two is focused<\/a> on enabling user access to the PCTE and training aids through a portal. <a href=\"https:\/\/trainingaccelerator.org\/2018\/05\/pcte-cic-3\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">CIC three<\/a>, which is forthcoming in mid- to late-June, is focused on red team planning, as well as master exercise control. <a href=\"https:\/\/trainingaccelerator.org\/2018\/04\/pcte-cic-4\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">CIC four<\/a>, estimated for release in July, will focus on training assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no information released yet regarding CIC five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One important question remains unclear, however: In the end, who will be the integrator of systems \u2014 the government or a contractor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe seams between all these capabilities tend to be the weak points. Having an integrator to kind of tie all that together \u2014 the ranges and all these different capabilities \u2014 would be important to make sure that the cyberwarriors get the best capability that they deserve &#8230; as quickly as possible,\u201d Keffer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf the government wants to be the integrator, we\u2019ll do all we can to help them out. If they want industry to be the integrator, industry has a lot of experience doing that, especially Lockheed Martin; we\u2019re big in the training business.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given the immense need for a cyber training platform, the military is looking to rapid acquisition vehicles to field capability
