This works because the consultants are not filling “combat roles”. The traditional way of keeping expertise in technical subjects in the military is, early in their careers they move out into industry and become consultants. Which means any expertiese goes with them.Īrguably to be good at security you need a depth and bredth of experience that’s uncommon even in thirty year olds and you are still “improving” in your fifties and sixties, long after all but the most senior of officers have been put out to grass. The hidden problem is “fit to fight” the military tend to have an age cut off based on rank, and don’t keep the lower ranks much over thirty and even senior non commissioned are generally shown the door in their forties. The creative types are not traditional officer material but expect pay grades up in the more senior officer renumeration rates or they will move out to industry. The problem is “career structure”, button stabbers are by and large not much above NCO level and the brass know this, thus there is not realy a career path to follow.
The admin and managment types are much like they are in other branches of the military. The “creatives” are a problem whilst you can teach the basics over a period of years it’s still very much a “gift”, thus they are not common. You can regard the “button stabbers” as “script followers” be it offensive or defencive, the amount of “analytics” involved is not that high, whilst not “monkey see monkey do” you would expect anyone who had graduated from college to be able to do it, but quickly find it uninspiring. There are three basic types required, “button stabbers”, “admin/managment” and “creatives”. Oh and there is also the “burr under the blanket” issue of medals… The military has a couple of problems when it comes to “cyber-warriors.įirstly the actual aptitude and intelligence required and secondly a worthwhile career structure to retain those with ability.
