Nearly 100 operators and leaders from the Iowa Army National Guard, 168th Cyberspace Operations Squadron Iowa Air National Guard, Minnesota National Guard, Croatia Armed Forces, and Kosovo Security Forces gather for a photo during the Cybersecurity Exercise Adriatic Thunder. This image epitomizes the spirit of inclusivity and collaboration within the National Guard Bureau State Partnership Program, showcasing a diverse group of professionals united in their mission to enhance cybersecurity and protect our interconnected world. In today's interconnected world, cybersecurity and inclusivity hold unique meanings for different people. Globally, cybersecurity is about protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks, while inclusivity ensures that opportunities in this field are accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. When these two concepts intersect, they create a powerful synergy that enhances our collective security posture. Recruiting across the nation, we see a concerted effort to bring in individuals from various backgrounds, experiences, and skill sets. This diversity is not just a moral imperative but a strategic advantage. Different perspectives lead to innovative solutions, and in the realm of cybersecurity, where threats are constantly evolving, this innovation is crucial. Conducting a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) reveals significant opportunities to recruit technical expertise among the 54 states, territories, and DC. By tapping into this diverse talent pool, we can fill our formations and address gaps in cybersecurity and cyberspace operations skill sets. This approach not only fortifies our defenses but also ensures that our teams are equipped with a wide array of perspectives and problem-solving abilities. Recruiting and leveraging talent from across the nation means recognizing and nurturing the potential within every community. It means creating pathways for underrepresented groups to enter and thrive in the cybersecurity field. By doing so, we build a more resilient and innovative security infrastructure that can adapt to the ever-changing landscape of cyber threats. Great job to #AFCEA IDEA panelists CSM Lisa Gandy, Sable Miller, MBA, PMP, ITILv3, and Kenneth McNeill and the moderator Dr. Hala Strohmier Berry!

A really great piece regarding TM & cyber. The arguments hold for non-technical occupations as careers labeled “GRUNT” (general replacement unit, not trained) are now responsible for enabling technologies such as drones and understanding non-kinetic effects—not just a profession of pulling triggers and kicking doors in (see Biddle “Military Power”). Great point here ⬇️ “cutting corners on any single task within the larger human capital enterprise risks creating a talent management “tailspin” whereby all the health of the workforce suffers.” Would argue it’s not just health but military capability suffers.
