Navy cyber is a ship without a rudder. While every other service has one cyber designator, the Navy’s cyber expertise resides in three seprate communities. As a result, the three communities are each plagued with unnecessary problems and none are fully empowered or capable of leading the domain. To solve this issue, the Navy must consolidate responsibility for cyber, invest in the cyber warfare engineer community, and require deep technical experience for all cyber roles.
Leadership and management for Navy cyber is currently divided among cryptologic warfare officers (CWOs), information professionals (IPs), and cyber warfare engineers (CWEs). CWOs are ostensibly responsible for offensive and defensive cyber operations, IPs for operating the information technology systems, and CWEs for the technical engineering work that enables cyber operations (e.g. conducting vulnerability research, exploit and capability development). This model may appear reasonable to those not versed in cyber operations, but it significantly inhibits the service from realizing a potent cyber warfighting capability.

Maybe that is by design.
Two words. Space Force.
Certainly an ENIGMA.
Cyber Force should have come before Space Force, but now that there is a Space Force, there should be a Cyber Force. Also, Cyber Force should be the first element of the Armed forces without a single physical fitness requirement necessary for service. Able bodied cyber forcers should be required to be physically fit, but handicapped experts should be able to serve equally.

“I suspect that other branches of the US military have similar issues.”
Oh yeah, it’s no wonder with half their classroom and training focused on diversity, inclusion and equity.

Enigma was a mechanical rotary encryption machine. Copied after a business related one.
Cyber is web based. Not a single computer system that I know of is honestly secure. Certainly not if it is connected to the web.
NSA, I am told, uses the black box approach to accomplish that.
Not sure what the Navy uses, but have family in Navy in that field.
Can anyone provide one positive development in the U.S. Navy over the last ten years?
And certainly paid too much into the "diversity industry"
Having served in both Naval Forces (US Marine Corps and US Navy) from the 70's to the 90's I saw a bunch of changes some good, some mind bending stupid (from my perspective)
As we said sometimes during the stupid presentation "from on high"
US Navy 236 years, unhampered by progress
This is a high level managerial issue. I doubt the admirals and generals did DIE. But they are political animals and genuflect to the cultural marxists, rather than abide by their oaths
Perhaps. But I think we need a unified cybercommand, which is based on dealing with cyber, rather than getting injured officers or washouts from other fields to supervise them.
The princelings will never divest power to something they have no control over.
If nothing else these last 2 years has shown that the flag officer ranks are a bastion of pretentious pompous ne'er-do-wells, who are more concerned with retaining power than living up to their oath's.
In a perfect S-D world every general of the last 30 years would face a tribunal for treason.
If a gaggle of generals can't prosecute a war to a point of at least making it untenable for the enemy to continue, and it goes on for 20+ years, they are culpable in prolonging hostilities.
