US Army to double expeditionary cyber battalions with replica of 11th Cyber Battalion
The U.S. Army will double its expeditionary cyber battalions by standing up a second unit modeled exactly on the 11th Cyber Battalion, known as the Leviathans, according to Lt. Gen. Christopher Eubank, head of Army Cyber Command. Speaking Monday at the Association of the United States Army conference in Washington, Eubank said the new battalion should begin standing up in earnest within the next couple months, reach initial operating capability within a year, and then work toward full operational capability. The 11th Cyber Battalion, activated in October 2022, delivers non-lethal, non-kinetic cyberspace and electromagnetic warfare effects and is currently supporting Joint Task Force–Southern Border. The Army previously said it planned to have 12 expeditionary teams deployable under the battalion by September 2027.
