What did the commission conclude? How should Cyberforce be stood up? How should it be implemented?
11:46
Yeah, thanks, Joe.
11:48
And maybe first start with thanks to CSIS and FTD for the support and all the commissioners for their time and thoughts and hard work that went into this.

So normally the way the department's organized, the services handle force generation and the combatant commands handle force employment.
12:09
That's not really the way it's set up for cyber, meaning that each service is responsible for standing up forces to present the cyber command.
12:20
So instead of having one service, you have four services.
12:24
But before we get into that part, it's what mission set are they responsible for? And the department normally defines the mission sets as offensive cyberspace operations.

We could go on and on, but all of those things really do speak to the need for more prioritization, cohesion when it comes to cyber forces within the Department of Defense.
