Advanced data and cyber solutions are needed to support psychological operations and information warfare worldwide.
The U.S. Army’s 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne) is looking to fill vital cyber and communications gaps, but with technologies tailored to its unique missions, said Maj. Gen. John Brennan, USA, commanding general, 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne), Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The command is the largest divisional element in the Army, with soldiers that serve in special forces, psychological operations groups and battalions, civil affairs groups and information warfare groups and for the national mission force that operates mostly with the Joint Special Operations Command units.
“Our 23,000 men and women are stationed all across the globe in virtually every time zone and in about 70 countries on any given day,†stated Gen. Brennan, when delivering a keynote address on February 17 during AFCEA’s TechNet Augusta Virtual Solutions Series.
Active-duty groups within the command are focused on supporting the U.S. combatant commands and operate in a geographically diverse manner, with specialty training, cultural expertise and linguistic talents to operate “effectively and fairly autonomously†in their areas of operation, the commanding general said.
