Keeping skills sharp"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In November, the Navy\u2019s Cyber Mission Force teams reached a key staffing milestone nearly a year ahead of schedule. The next step? Ensuring those teams sustain a high degree of readiness that allows them to deploy anywhere, anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping cyber teams razor-sharp and ready to act means that the teams are either on-mission or in a simulated training environment essentially every day, said Adm. Michael Gilday, the commander of Fleet Cyber\/10<sup>th<\/sup> Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf they\u2019re not on a real-world mission, whether that\u2019s offense or defense, they\u2019re in a simulator training to maintain their skills at the highest level possible,\u201d Gilday told C4ISRNET in an interview. \u201cBut that\u2019s what they joined the Navy to do \u2026 they want to be active, and so we have plenty of relevant missions for them to go against.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By having sailors engaged and at the ready, the Navy uses virtual training environments in different locations, including Hawaii, Georgia and Texas. The virtual environments enable scenarios like simulated networks and adversaries that help teams better understand that network and develop a plan of attack for containing, conducting operations against and removing the adversary from the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s cutting edge technology that leverages gaming technology that gives that a high degree of realism. It gives you the effective speed in terms of how an adversary moves across a network and how, let\u2019s say, a defensive team has to find that adversary, and then contain them, and then eradicate them from the network,\u201d Gilday said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy also is looking toward the next generation of simulated cyber training \u2013 a joint-force initiative currently in development with the Army leading the effort. Gilday said his office is working closely with the Army in developing future requirements, configuration and other details for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/show-reporter\/ausa\/2017\/10\/12\/heres-what-the-pentagons-persistent-cyber-training-platform-might-look-like\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">persistent cyber training environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s taking what we have now and making it even better,\u201d Gilday said. \u201cIt\u2019s a one team, one fight approach. The cyber teams are a joint force, and so as an example, under my command, I actually have operational command of both Air Force and Army teams. We\u2019re training to the same standard no matter which service that they\u2019re from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Department of Defense fiscal 2018 budget includes $4 million for the Army for PCTE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PCTE will provide the \u201cability to test our tools and our capabilities, but also the sustainment training amongst the team that\u2019s really important for us,\u201d Army Cyber Commander Lt. Gen. Paul Nakasone told reporters at the Association of the U.S. Army annual meeting in October. \u201cWe see that as the piece that we have yet to focus on, which really is the collective training piece \u2014 when I say collective training, that\u2019s the training of a squad, mission element, a team \u2014 that is so critical for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Navy wants to ensure its Cyber Mission Force teams sustain a high degree of readiness that allows them to deploy anywhere, anytime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":30393,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":26,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[160,36,26,164],"tags":[],"coauthors":[2887],"class_list":["post-19234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-newsletters","category-training-sim","category-training-simulation-report"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"HZDLIBE77VH7DHH4B27DPDJRYU","arc_canonical_url":"\/it-networks\/2018\/01\/10\/navy-looks-to-simulation-to-keep-cyber-skills-sharp\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The next challenge for Navy cyber teams?
