The Army’s uniformed cyber workforce right now is made up of a “potpourri” of occupational specialties. Some of it’s drawn from officers and enlisted soldiers who are officially designated as members of the “intelligence” branches. The Army cultivates others through its “signals” branch. The Army hasn’t reached a final decision yet, but Army Secretary John McHugh is considering the creation of a new career field that would be completely dedicated to cyber. Col. Carmine Cicalese is the branch chief for cyber and information operations at Army headquarters. He talked with Federal News Radio’s Jared Serbu about the potential benefits of a cyber career field.
