For several months, the U.S Army has quietly been experimenting with how to link its Special Operations Command, its Space and Missile Defense Command and its Cyber Command more closely on the battlefield, under a new « triad » concept.
All data will be used to bolster the service's capability to monitor or deter an adversary.
Operations included lethal options in the physical world paired with non-lethal options, such as information warfare or cyber.
The Cyber Military Intelligence Group was created to perform functions not found anywhere else within the Army or intel community, and blend open source information with military intelligence.
Big data platforms exist across U.S. Cyber Command, the Defense Information Systems Agency, Army Cyber Command and the Marine Corps. They are essentially hybrid cloud environments that allow for storage, computation and analytics across networked sensors. When forces conduct cyber missions, they collect data and use high-powered analytics to make sense of it. Big data platforms do just that, but also share that analysis in an easy-to-access repository for other forces. The Army's version is called Gabriel Nimbus.

The Army will be building two more cyber mission force teams for U.S. Cyber Command. The majority of new cyber mission force teams will come from the Army and Air Force. Teams will learn foundational concepts of cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum and could serve in new tactical electronic warfare units or in integrated cyber, electronic warfare and information operations units, as well as staff sections.
Offensive cyber forces conduct operations under what's known as Joint Force Headquarters-Cyber, which provide planning, targeting, intelligence and cyber capabilities.
