Committee will come to order. I would like to welcome our Witnesses Today as the Committee Examines military Cyber Operations. I note that just about exactly two months ago, president obama confirmed for the first time that the u. S. Is conducting Cyber Operations against isis. And as the leadership of the department of defense was discussing this, they said it was the first time that Cyber Command has been given the guidance to go after isis. Just like we have an air campaign, we want to have a cyber campaign. And some of the press went on to discuss that secretary carter was pushing for u. S. Cyber command to have greater freedom to launch attacks and to address tactical Cyber Threats against isi isis.

I am proud to say that the department has made important strides in implementing dod strategy since it was signed in 2015. My colleagues and i look forward to going into greater detail on our

Were going to continue to grow that, whether its through the Defense Innovation unit, experimental out in Silicon Valley, that secretary carter stood up. How we lerchlveraged the skills that the National Guard and sources bring and we leverage those skills as integrating those folks into the Cyber Mission force or continue to work with the private sector in response to Cyber Attacks through exercises such as cyber guard. So, we already are working with the private sector pretty well, i think. Were going to get better at that. And were leveraging the skills of the National Guard and reserve folks as part of the Cyber Mission force. But you dont see anything in the works like what israel did, for instance, where there would be an actual consolidation into one location . That is a much smaller country, obviously. Right. I would say that i dont see that. No, sir. I think we have good coordination and collaboration through the department of
