New Cyber Cell Enhances Joint Operations Capabilities

The US Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) has established a Joint Integrated Fire Cell (JIFC) for Operation Epic Fury, modeled after a similar construct used in Operation Absolute Resolve. The JIFC serves as a central hub to coordinate cyber effects, and its creation may signal a new era of integrated cyber operations. According to Lt. Gen. Christopher Eubank, the JIFC has enabled more seamless integration of Joint Force Headquarters with Army Cyber. ARCYBER is also undergoing a reorganization to operate more like a corps structure, which will enhance its ability to support regular Army units. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
