Pentagon creates specialist online unit to counter cyber attack amid growing fears of militarisation of the internethe US military has appointed its first senior general to direct cyber warfare – despite fears that the move marks another stage in the militarisation of cyberspace.
The newly promoted four-star general, Keith Alexander, takes charge of the Pentagon's ambitious and controversial new Cyber Command, designed to conduct virtual combat across the world's computer networks. He was appointed on Friday afternoon in a low-key ceremony at Fort Meade, in Maryland.
The creation of America's most senior cyber warrior comes just days after the US air force disclosed that some 30,000 of its troops had been re-assigned from technical support "to the frontlines of cyber warfare".
The creation of Cyber Command is in response to increasing anxiety over the vulnerability of the US's military and other networks to a cyber attack.
James Miller, the deputy under-secretary of defence for policy, has hinted that the US might consider a conventional military response to certain kinds of online attack.

What a joke, and you fail to read between the lines. The AIRFARSE is restructuring a bunch of their existing MOSs into a cyber MOS.
We are not standing up a 30K army of cyber-warriors...too bad, really. The AF already has released the design for their new cyber warfighting badge.

My only question is will they be wearing flight suits?
