On 11JAN2019 the U.S. Army activated its first ever Intelligence, Information, Cyber, Electronic Warfare and Space
Detachment, as part of the new Multi Domain Task Force.

The unit is based at Fort Lewis-McChord in Washington state.

This has been discussed for several years now, it’s essentially an evolution of Cyber Command.  In 2013 the evil Rand Corporation published a PDF supporting the creation of Cyber Warfare units.

In Summer 2018 the U.S. Army took part in the biennial RIMPAC (aka Rim of the Pacific Exercise) as a Multi Domain Task Force.  They worked alongside Japanese military forces in conducting ‘live-fire’ missile launches from Hawaii.

Official video, Multi Domain Task Force, Valiant Shield, September 2018:

In September 2018, Multi Domain Task Force took part in Valiant Shield in Guam.   Interestingly, despite being part of Cyber Warfare ops the Multi Domain Task Force has been operating as an artillery unit, so far.

Also in September 2018, the Army Cyber Command conducted Cyber Blitz in New Jersey: “The integration of Information Operations, Electronic Warfare, and Cyber enables a traditional infantry brigade to quickly enter and fight within an adaptive, demanding cyber training environment. Ultimately, Cyber Blitz is elevating the entire Army’s ability to train, fight, and win across all domains.”-Brigadier General Richard E. Angle, Deputy Commanding General for Operations at U.S. Army Cyber Command.

Here’s how the Army is grooming an elite cadre of (electronic) cyber soldiers
