AB - This article addresses the role that US service academies play in developing not only future cyber forces, but also a pipeline of qualified cyber-strategic military leaders, who have the knowledge necessary to confront a wide array of cyber threats and establish both a competitive and security advantage in the modern battlespace. In the future, every military leader must be a cyber-strategic leader. In particular, this study surveys current efforts by the US Coast Guard Academy, the US Air Force Academy, the US Military Academy, and the US Naval Academy to prepare all their future officers for the challenges of operational– and strategic–level leadership in an age of persistent cyber threat.
