The US Cyber Command was launched recent months and physical construction is well in-hand at Fort Meade: but despite the sizeable budgets and Presidential backing, "it is an airplane being built in midflight". As the structural build progresses the enterprise is adding personnel as fast as it can, but is behind target: for instance its "Cyber Mission Force" has only managed to secure half of the budgetted 6,187 headcount. The US is understood to be considering combining all of its cyber-miltary divisions into a stand-alone seperate cyber-corps as per Israel's recent announcement.
