Biden budget to seek boost to the military's cyber force

President Joe Biden’s upcoming budget request will propose growing U.S. Cyber Command’s main digital warfighting force over the next two years, according to two people familiar with the request, as the new administration reels from a series of cyberattacks.

Biden wants to increase the size of the Cyber Mission Force — a cadre of roughly 6,200 personnel culled from the military branches and divided into 133 teams — by about 600 people, or 10 percent. The exact composition of the proposed teams remains unclear, one of the people said.
