WEBVTT 00:07.239 --> 00:09.406 One of the activities that we're gonna 00:09.406 --> 00:11.560 pursue initially as a part of this is 00:11.569 --> 00:13.902 redesigning the officer training course , 00:13.902 --> 00:15.847 the initial skills training of our 00:15.847 --> 00:18.860 officers . It's my contention that it 00:18.870 --> 00:22.809 is very difficult to separate satellite 00:22.819 --> 00:25.680 operations , cyber operations and the 00:25.690 --> 00:27.357 intelligence that you need to 00:27.357 --> 00:29.412 understand , to deal with the domain 00:29.412 --> 00:31.301 into these stove pipes that we've 00:31.301 --> 00:33.246 traditionally come uh and grown up 00:33.246 --> 00:35.919 around . If , if the satellite operator 00:35.930 --> 00:38.130 doesn't understand the networks that 00:38.139 --> 00:40.090 disseminates the data and doesn't 00:40.099 --> 00:42.369 understand how to provide that data in 00:42.380 --> 00:44.729 a threat environment , they are not 00:44.740 --> 00:47.200 gonna be successful . Likewise with the 00:47.209 --> 00:49.376 other disciplines . So we are building 00:49.376 --> 00:51.598 a an initial training course that gives 00:51.598 --> 00:53.709 our officers all of those fundamental 00:53.709 --> 00:55.876 training , all of those activities . I 00:55.880 --> 00:58.139 believe that a cyber operator will be 00:58.150 --> 01:00.372 far better at their job , defending the 01:00.372 --> 01:02.094 network if they understand the 01:02.094 --> 01:03.770 satellite operations and they 01:03.779 --> 01:05.779 understand the intelligence and the 01:05.779 --> 01:07.557 threat and how to ask the right 01:07.557 --> 01:10.459 questions to facilitate performing 01:10.470 --> 01:12.790 their job better . Likewise , with 01:12.800 --> 01:15.110 intelligence , if you've been through 01:15.120 --> 01:17.287 the training as a satellite operator , 01:17.287 --> 01:19.120 if you understand the networks , 01:19.120 --> 01:21.231 imagine how you view the foundational 01:21.231 --> 01:23.398 intelligence that's required , you can 01:23.398 --> 01:26.949 ask better questions So we're gonna 01:26.959 --> 01:29.260 start with new career paths . We're 01:29.269 --> 01:31.491 gonna start with new training and we're 01:31.491 --> 01:33.491 gonna start with the officers , but 01:33.491 --> 01:35.602 that's not gonna stop there . We have 01:35.602 --> 01:37.769 to recognize that all of our operators 01:37.769 --> 01:39.991 and all of the guardians are gonna need 01:39.991 --> 01:41.658 similar kinds of training and 01:41.658 --> 01:43.825 experience different from what they've 01:43.825 --> 01:43.550 had in the past . If they're gonna be 01:43.559 --> 01:46.349 successful in this high ops tempo , 01:46.589 --> 01:49.440 very technically demanding environment 01:49.449 --> 01:51.069 that we're facing in the future .
