 The nominee for the DoD's cyber policy shop, Michael Solmeier, wants to tackle cyber mission force readiness challenges. Federal News Network's Anastasia Obis explains. During his confirmation hearing on Thursday, Solmeier said the DoD should consider extending aspects of the U.S. Special Operations Command model to U.S. Cyber Command to address readiness concerns. Lawmakers are bringing back the idea of a separate cyber force to address persistent readiness problems.
