Background -- Navy and Air Force, but not Army and Marine Corps, ensure a return on investment for advanced cyber training -- Gaps exist between active-duty cyber authorizations and staffing levels, and opportunities exist to better track work role data -- Military service use of special and incentive pays in cyber career fields varies but retention challenges persist -- Conclusions -- Recommendations for executive action -- Agency comments -- Appendices. |
| Summary |
To accomplish its national security mission and defend a wide range of critical infrastructure, DOD must recruit, train, and retain a knowledgeable and skilled cyber workforce. However, DOD faces increasing competition from the private sector looking to recruit top cyber talent to protect systems and data from a barrage of foreign attacks. . Among other matters, GAO examines the extent to which (1) a service obligation exists for military cyber personnel receiving advanced cyber training and (2) DOD has experienced staffing gaps for active-duty military cyber personnel for fiscal year 2017 through fiscal year 2021 and tracked cyber work roles. GAO is making six recommendations, including that the Army and Marine Corps clearly define active-duty service obligations for advanced cyber training in guidance, and that the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps track cyber personnel data by work role. |
