“We are not at our best in the training we're providing for our information warriors,” said Vice Adm. Kelly Aeschbach, the commander of Naval Information Forces, during a presentation at the WEST 2023 conference.
“We have a lot of good stuff in place, but we do not move fast enough, nearly fast enough, to pace all the capability we're delivering. Our brick and mortar construct has a lot of trouble keeping up with the agility with which industry and others now are delivering fantastic capabilities.”
