CYBER SPACE: THE NEW WAR ZONE



At a time many are talking about cutting the size of the US military, the Department of Defence has signalled it will dramatically increase the size of its Cyber Command over the next few years.

The Pentagon is working overtime to ensure that cyber war becomes the next great fear in the minds of the American people - coming after the Red scare of the Cold War and the present "terrorism" freak-out with the Muslim world.

The US Cyber Command is headquartered at Ft. Meade, Maryland which also houses the NSA.

The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines all have Cyber command structures that fall under the national.  US Cyber Command reports directly to US Strategic Command (StratCom) based at Offut AFB, Nebraska.
