ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY

Facing mounting cyberthreats globally, soldiers, their fellow service members and cyber defense experts came together to train and test their skills during Cyber Shield 2025.

“There’s constantly adversaries attempting to go after our networks, our partners’ networks,” Brig. Gen. Russell McGuire, exercise director and assistant adjutant general of North Carolina, said during a June 10 media roundtable.

Foreign adversaries are targeting U.S. Army personnel on social media, job sites and gaming chats, the deputy Army chief of staff for intelligence, G-2, warned in a message to the force.

Issued in June, the All-Army Activities message, or ALARACT, warns that foreign adversaries are “increasingly” using social media and fake job offers to gain sensitive information from Army personnel and their families.

The Army will need to take a proactive, integrated approach to signature management to maintain the information advantage, senior cyber officials said during a panel discussion July 2 at a Hot Topic event hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army.

The United States is struggling to outpace its global adversaries in the information domain, and a whole-of-society response is needed, the special envoy and coordinator of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center said July 2 at a Hot Topic event hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army. 

Faced with growing and evolving cyberthreats, the Defense Department is trying several new programs to boost its cyber workforce, a senior official told lawmakers.

The Army should integrate cyber warfare, artificial intelligence and autonomous systems to maintain the information advantage, according to the author of a new paper published by the Association of the U.S. Army.

Registration is open for an Association of the U.S. Army Hot Topic focused on cyber and information advantage.

Scheduled for July 2 at AUSA headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, the daylong Hot Topic will feature a keynote by James Rubin, special envoy and coordinator for the U.S. State Department’s Global Engagement Center.
