Abstract
This research employs both qualitative and quantitative systems engineering models that help prioritize key stakeholder values and shape recommendations for future consideration. The goal of this research is to equip the US Army with a framework that can successfully integrate and implement a civilian reserve cyber force that is prepared for 21st Century warfare in cyberspace.
Concluding remarks
After scoring the courses of actions and thinking about how each would work in reality, the researchers recommend the Army to integrate a civilian workforce to aid in creating an effective overall cyber force. The researchers feel the security risks can be mitigated in the long run by not hiring a "whole" individual, but by hiring a "specialized" individual instead. If the Army does a good job at screening candidates and placing them to work in an effective and specialized unit, the researchers believe much of these security concerns can be mitigated. Additionally, the innovation and qualifications that the private sector offers the Army is much more attractive than any of the other courses of action. It is likely the Army would have to pay more to compensate for these new skills, but this compensation comes as an expense to protecting this nation's cyber infrastructure.
