House members worry if the cyber force is the right size
Mark Pomerleau
Members of Congress are concerned about the size of the Department of Defense’s cyber force.
U.S. Cyber Command’s cyber mission force consists of 133 offensive, support and defensive cyber teams. But during a March 4 hearing of the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Jim Langevin, D-Rhode Island, used his opening statement to ask about Cyber Command’s staffing.
“We need to candidly assess whether a force conceived more than seven years ago is sufficient for a dramatically different environment today,†he said. “I will also be curious to hear candid assessments on how organic capabilities resident in the Services are rationalized with CYBERCOM’s mission and strategy.â€â€
