Soldiers and civilians from the U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) headquarters and ARCYBER's Cyber Protection Brigade are building cyber skills and allied partnership while competing in Cyber Spartan 5, this year's iteration of an annual inter-unit cyber competition led by the British Army's 13th Signal Regiment. The ARCYBER team, at Fort Gordon, Ga., is one of 22 allied teams that are virtually taking part in the five-day competition based at the regiment's Cyber Training Environment at Blanding Camp in Dorset, United Kingdom. The 13th's goals for the exercise are to develop cyber knowledge and skills within the British Army, and to identify cyber talent.
