Nakasone Calls for Enhancements in CYBERCOM 2.0

In line with his vision for the U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM), Army Gen. Paul Nakasone reportedly highlights the rapid rotation of military forces into and out of CYBERCOM as a primary concern that needs to be addressed.

Concerns about Staff Rotation

Gen. Nakasone makes it clear that one of the significant challenges faced by CYBERCOM is the speed with which military forces rotate in and out. He values the expertise and input of forces dedicated to cybersecurity but underscores the need for their consistent engagement, emphasizing the influence of the “dwell time” in enhancing their efficacy.

Push for Continued Excellence

Nakasone, known for his high expectations from the services, insists on their unwavering excellence. He acknowledges the balance the military services attempt to maintain regarding their readiness, but pitches for longer “dwell time” for forces rotating through CYBERCOM considering the depth of knowledge required in the cyber domain.

A Bold Move Forward

With an eye on the future, Gen. Nakasone advocates for a “bold move forward,” heralding further enhancements to CYBERCOM’s capabilities.

Conclusion

Facing fast-approaching retirement, Gen. Nakasone leaves his successor with a clear focus: the pressing need to stabilize the personnel movement within CYBERCOM. By raising attention to the issue, he underscores that future improvements depend greatly on the ability to maintain a deep bench of experienced personnel.
