Cyber Guard 25-2

We are excited to announce the successful conclusion of Phase II of our 11th annual Cyber Guard exercise! This marks a significant milestone as it is the first iteration to include members of our Five Eyes partners.

The U.S. Cyber Command Cyber Guard exercise, in partnership with the Joint Staff, is part of a broader joint force exercise series designed to simulate real-world scenarios. It provides participants with the opportunity to practice both internal and external staff processes for seamless total force integration.

In previous iterations, Cyber Guard focused on supporting combatant commands during a crisis in a specific geographic region. This year, the exercise expanded to address a global scenario, impacting multiple areas of responsibility during a transition to armed conflict. Teams were tasked with navigating a range of complex dilemmas, requiring quick decisions on courses of action, force flow, and burden-sharing with our agency and Allied Partners.

U.S. Cyber Command plays a vital role in safeguarding national security by defending the Department of Defense’s networks and critical infrastructure against cyber threats. By integrating offensive and defensive cyber operations, we remain at the forefront of the information environment—deterring and defeating adversaries who attempt to exploit vulnerabilities.

Through close collaboration with defense partners and Five Eyes nations, we are constantly innovating and working to maintain a secure and resilient cyberspace. This commitment is critical to protecting our nation’s interests and contributing to global stability.
