U.S. Army building cyber into its combat exercises: Foreign Policy

John Reed, for Foreign Policy’s Killer Apps blog, on how the U.S. Army is integrating cyber capabilities into its combat exercises.  According to Reed, reps from U.S. Army CyberComm embedded with Army units in a war games scenario against a near peer nation with an advanced military.  Over the course of the exercise, Army commanders used cyber capabilities and successfully degraded the enemy’s C&C by 40%.

It’s going to be interesting to see how cyber weapons move on down to the tactical level.
