Mission: The USACyS, as the Army school proponent for Cyber Warfare and
Electronic Warfare, acquires America’s most talented and innovative citizens and
develops them into the world’s most lethal, professional, ethical, and technically
competent Cyber Warfare and Electronic Warfare workforces.
Vision: to become the world’s leading organization in educating, training, and
developing DoD’s Cyber Warfare (CW) and Electronic Warfare (EW) forces of
choice is focused on building purposeful career paths and academic programs
with four core strengths: intellectual curiosity, operational competency, mental
agility, and persistent collaboration.
What we are currently working on: As the USACyS continues to shape its CW
workforce and courses to meet Army Cyber Mission Force and Joint
requirements, it has also initiated a complete revamp of Army EW, moving from
a heavy focus on operating Counter Improvised Explosive Device (CIED)
Systems (e.g., DUKE) during Counter Insurgency (COIN) operations to a focus
on theory, day and night tactical operations, and mounted and dismounted EW
Operations to prepare EW Soldiers to out-maneuver and out-think the adversary
during intense Joint, Multi-Domain, and Large Scale Combat Operations.
