I was gratified to note that the Senate recently confirmed the Pentagon’s new cyber-warfare czar, General Keith Alexander, who before his confirmation was Director of the NSA, located at Ft. Meade outside of Washington D.C. The new agency — the United States Cyber Command — will also be located at Ft. Meade, although it will report into STRATCOM in Omaha, Nebraska.
I am convinced that cyber warfare will play an increasingly important role in the country’s future military activities and security. A strong hand at the top of the United States Cyber Command is just what is needed for it to succeed. Although I don’t personally know General Alexander, I suspect he is a strong leader. Hooray for America!
