2d Battalion Priorities that Equal to Our Readiness
- People (SFRG/Professional Development/Talent Management)
- IW Capabilities (CTC/Joint Army Exercises/Home Station Evaluations)
- Training (8570/Script Writing/Add more)
- Routine Actions (Remote Ops/Cyber Exploitation/EW/Close Access)
In today’s Army we can deploy to any location at any given time. In order to provide command and control our units
have to bring multiple layers of communication packages with them. 2d Battalion provides cyber security training for
these units before they deploy to ensure that our adversaries cannot hack into their systems. If you are one of the
following MOS’s (26A, 17A, 35A, 35L, 35N, 35T, 35Z, 25B) and are looking to either enhance your cyber security skills
or learn new ones then this is the unit you want to be in.
