“…These soldiers are using new kinds of sensors the Army has developed to pick up on cellphone signals and other forms of digital communication the enemy uses to share its locations and coordinate attacks. Through this new kind of training, the Army is trying to perfect the fieldcraft of these experts in computers and digital warfare – cybersoldiers. It’s a twofold mission: The military’s fledgling cyber teams are trying to figure out precisely how to deploy highly technical operatives into the field and work alongside the kind of soldier that signed up for the dusty, hot and dangerous work of the service branches like infantry, cavalry and armor troops, while also convincing old guard combat commanders that the battlefield now extends into a realm they can neither see nor attack with bullets, artillery shells or armored vehicles.”
