Gen. Garrett Yee told reporters while speaking about electronic and cyber warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How the Russians embraced hybrid warfare showed just how effective overlapping these tactics could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukrainian forces have received Russian-backed text messages to &#8220;undermine unit cohesion and troop morale,\u201d Col. Liam Collins <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ausa.org\/articles\/russia-gives-lessons-electronic-warfare\" target=_blank>wrote<\/a> for the AUSA website. The Russian military has also targeted areas where a large number of cellphones have been detected with artillery strikes, Collins explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn one coordinated action, electronic warfare is combined with cyberwarfare, information operations and artillery strikes to produce psychological and kinetic effects,\u201d Collins wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts and military officials say that the Russian tactics informed American cyber needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen the Pentagon studied Russian aggression in the Crimea, a lot of it had to do with cyberattacks,\u201d said James Montgomery, who handles cyber business development for Lockheed Martin, one of the prime defense contractors for the U.S. government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response, the Pentagon highlighted the need for increased \u201cdefensive cyber\u201d from military contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe hardest part about defensive cyber is maintenance, and really it is keeping things together,\u201d Montgomery said. The network \u201cis a raging river that at any one point can branch off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon has also asked defense contractors for stronger information and electronic warfare systems after the events in Ukraine, Montgomery told Fifth Domain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past five years the Pentagon has invested in stronger cybersecurity due to the demands of hybrid warfare, according to experts and military officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is doubling the size of its electronic warfare force and nearly doubling the training those troops receive before they are deployed, Brig. Gen. Jennifer Buckner said during an event at AUSA. She added that the Army is integrating electronic warfare units into more parts of the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But despite the call to action caused by the Russian aggression, the U.S. military has not fully <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/army\/2017\/10\/02\/heres-how-the-army-wants-to-integrate-cyber-ew-into-operational-formations\/\" target=_blank>transformed<\/a> into a hybrid fighting force, Aaron Brantly, a cyber policy fellow at the Army Cyber Institute told Fifth Domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was an \u201congoing process\u201d for the U.S. military to adapt to the type of hybrid warfare presented in the Ukraine, Brantly said. \u201cYou are taking an enormously large bureaucracy and trying to get them to work together. This isn\u2019t a thing that happens overnight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the Russians blitzed the Crimean region of Ukraine with cyberattacks, electromagnetic
