FORT, EISENHOWER, Ga. – About 350 Air Force civilian employees at U.S Cyber Command (USCC) switched over to become Army civilians under a program overseen by U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER). Congress mandated that change as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The Army assumed the Combatant Command Support Agent (CCSA) role for USCC on June 2, 2024. The CCSA is responsible for administrative and logistical support to a combatant command, including support to a civilian workforce which will grow to over 700 Army civilians working for the combatant command.
Since the inception of USCC in 2017, the CCSA had been with the U.S. Air Force. The change to the U.S. Army was a logical switch given the primary footprint for USCC is at Fort George G. Meade, Md.
“This was a monumental effort by the U.S. Cyber Command, Army and ARCYBER teams. Our top priority during this entire effort was to ensure we did everything we could to take care of the civilian workforce,” said ARCYBER Deputy to the Commanding General Jeffrey R. Jones. "Think of the transfer like this: It's like your phone service switched from Verizon to AT&T, but your number stayed the same. At the end of the day, you still work for U.S. CYBERCOM, only now you're affiliated with the best Army in the world."
ARCYBER led the planning and synchronization with other agencies to transition U.S. Air Force civilians to become U.S. Army civilians. This large DoD civilian force will provide various support functions to USCC, including human resources support to Army civilians by the Civilian Human Resources Agency (CHRA); polygraph support from U.S. Army Counterintelligence Command; Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention, Equal Employment Opportunity, and Safety support from the Fort Meade Army garrison, antenna support from the Army Network Enterprise Technology Command, and Government Purchase Card support from Army Contracting Command.
“Change is constant. Change is good. Without it, we’re stagnant. This change brings a highly talented workforce into the Army footprint,” said Jones.
