华盛顿消息:美国太空部队正在招募第一批网络战士,将网络人员从空军转移到其队伍中,以保护敏感的系统和任务。

“对于我们来说,如此重要的是,将那些网络专业人员加入太空部队(对于我们的团队而言有了网络部队的编制了)的原因是,他们将成为我们部队的一部分。他们将了解太空的网络地形,这将帮助我们保护这一关键领域免受威胁的侵害。”太空作战部负责人Jay Raymond在2月3日的媒体电话中说。

这些部队将保卫地面站等设施以及包括卫星在内的太空资产。

2021年2月初,新兴的网络武士为军队提供了最新的服务,他们开始从空军转移过来。

美国太空部队发言人说,与空军的网络中队计划保持一致,以建立太空部队版本的任务防御团队。空军任务防御团队是专门的网络团队,可以保护重要的空军任务和设施。由于空军的企业IT即服务模式,该模式得以实现,在该模式中,它已将一些较平常和日常的IT工作外包给承包商,使服务人员有空进行网络防御。太空部队将同样依靠承包商,从而使其网络人员能够保卫自己的地形。

过去,第61通讯中队等太空部队的网络部门参加了空军网络演习,以帮助他们加快步伐并与经验丰富的网络作战人员合作进行网络防御。

这些团队与他们的军种紧密联系,并与通过网络任务部队与提供给美国网络司令部的力量分开。发言人表示,太空部队目前还没有任何组建国家任务部队以向网络司令部提供部队的计划。

太空部队依靠美国空军第16航空队/空军网络提供常规网络支持,但正在整个国防部合作建立一个专注于太空系统的网络安全服务部门。发言人说,它将与太空网络防御相关单位并肩作战,作为“太空三角洲6(Cyber)”任务指令的一部分。该部门将与任务防御团队协调网络防御,并为空军网络作战提供支持。

Space Force begins adding cyber warriors

WASHINGTON — The Space Force is getting its first cyber warriors, transferring cyber personnel from the Air Force into its ranks to protect sensitive systems and missions.

“Why it’s so important for us to have those cyber professionals on the Space Force team — organic to our team — is that they will be part of our crew force. They will understand the cyber terrain of space, and it will help us protect this critical domain from that threat,” Chief of Space Operations Gen. Jay Raymond said during a Feb. 3 media call.

These forces will defend installations, such as ground terminals, and space assets, including satellites.

The emerging cadre of cyber warriors for military’s newest service began shifting over from the Air Force at the beginning of February.

These guardians are aligning with the Air Force’s cyber squadron initiative to build the Space Force’s version of mission defense teams, a Space Force spokesperson said. Air Force mission defense teams are specialized cyber teams that protect critical Air Force missions and installations. This has been possible due to the Air Force’s enterprise-IT-as-a-service model in which it has outsourced some of the more mundane and day-to-day IT work to contractors, freeing service personnel to perform cyber defense. Space Force will similarly rely on contractors, enabling its cyber workforce to defend its terrain.

Space Force cyber units, such as the 61st Communications Squadron, have participated in Air Force cyber exercises in the past to help get them up to speed and work with experienced cyber operators to game defense.

These teams are tied to their services and separate from the forces the services provide to U.S. Cyber Command through the cyber mission force. Space Force doesn’t have any plans to build cyber mission forces to present to Cyber Command, the spokesperson said.

Space Force relies on 16th Air Force/Air Forces Cyber for general network support but is working across the Department of Defense to build a cybersecurity service cell that’s focused on space systems. It will work side by side with the Cyber Defense Correlation Cell for Space as part of the mission directive for Space Delta 6 (Cyber), the spokesperson said. This cell will coordinate cyber defense with the mission defense team, as well as provide support for Air Forces Cyber operations.
