[LINK] Australian CyberWarfare Battalion

[Tom Worthington]

This is to propose the Australian Defence Force (ADF) raise an 
Australian CyberWarfare Battalion (ACWB) of 300 personnel, to protect 
Australia's national information infrastructure. All but a small cadre 
would be reserve military personnel who have full time jobs as computer 
security professionals. After very basic military training, personnel 
would be issued with secure communications and return to their 
workplace. Personnel would remain in touch with each other monitoring 
computer security threats. In the event of a large scale attack, most of 
the Battalion would stay in their workplaces to protect infrastructure, 
while a small number would deploy to industry, government and military 
centers to coordinate operations.
