[Defense.Gov] Things are a bit sticky at NSA and Fort Meade at the moment.

#2  Thanks for the link, it's key to why the USAF does not have the lead on this effort. Unless things have changed dramatically, Cyber Warfare is 'also ran' mission for the Air Force. It's been an on again, off again with varying degrees of USAF command emphasis. As I recall, the current Director NSA (DIRSNA) General Keith Alexander began the Army Cyber effort at INSCOM with the Cyber Warfare Center (CWC) way back in the early 1999-2002 timeframe. Locating the center at Fort Gordon has other collaborative benefits involving the Army Signal Center and other, regionally focused intelligences elements on post. It's actually a smart and economic beneficial decision.

#1  Sure, because the Army cyber mission is so much different than that of the Air Force. Why have standards?
