Right now, the Pentagon’s Cyber Command is attacking Islamic State in “really its first wartime assignment” according to America’s secretary of defence, Ashton Carter.

One plan is to create a new separate combatant command for America’s cyber-warriors, alongside special forces, transport, strategic (currently nuclear-plus-cyber) and the six geographic commands.
