  Remington Arms offers manufacturing space to produce medical supplies needed to fight Covid-19

  Remington Arms has offered to donate manufacturing space for hospital supplies in New York. CEO of the gun manufacturer, Ken D'Arcy, wrote a letter Monday, March 23, to Governor Andrew Cuomo and President Donald Trump offering "approximately one million square feet of unused and available manufacturing space" at the Ilion plant, the Ithaca Journal reported. Cuomo issued an executive order for all nonessential workers to remain home, and the company announced Friday it would shut down in compliance until April 30. D'Arcy said the company would be honored to help produce ventilators, surgical masks, hospital beds or any other products to aid the efforts to combat the coronavirus. Cuomo said Tuesday that the state has 7,000 ventilators and needs 30,000 for an anticipated surge of patients. Remington Arms has joined several other companies to offer to help fight back against the coronavirus pandemic. Several distilleries have started producing hand sanitizer to help fill the shortage. New York has more than 30,000 confirmed cases and 285 deaths. The nation-high figures are driven mostly by New York City. Herkimer County Administrator James Wallace said Remington also requested permission to continue producing firearms for military and police use. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2020/03/26/remington-arms-offers-manufacturing-space-for-medical-supplies-needed-to-fight-covid-19

  In Army’s newest unit, everyone learns cyber skills

  By: Mark Pomerleau Prior to its deployment to Afghanistan, the Army's newest unit received special assistance in cyber and electronic warfare techniques. The 1st Security Force Assistance Brigade, or SFAB, is a first of its kind specialized group designed solely to advise and assist local, indigenous forces. As such, these units need specialized equipment and received training from Army Cyber Command on offensive and defensive cyber operations, as well as electronic warfare and information operations, Army Cyber Command commander Lt. Gen. Paul Nakasone wrote in prepared testimony before the Senate Armed Services Cyber Subcommittee in early March. The distinct makeup of the unit ― smaller than a typical brigade and lacking all the resources and technical expertise therein ― means the operators at the tactical edge have to do the networking and troubleshooting themselves in addition to advising battalion sized Afghan units. The command's tailored support sought to advise SFAB personnel how best to leverage a remote enterprise to achieve mission effects, according to the spokesman. That means knowing how to perform electronic warfare and cyber tasks are part of every soldier's basic skill set. This was unique support with tailored training to meet the SFAB's advisory role mission, an Army Cyber Command spokesman said. Team members from Army Cyber Command specializing in offensive cyber and defensive cyber to serve as instructors during SFAB's validation exercise at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana in January, a command spokesman told Fifth Domain. Electronic warfare personnel from 1st SFAB were also briefed on how cyber capabilities in use in Afghanistan currently support U.S. Forces. Specifically, the trainers provided the unit's communications teams best practices to harden networks. The Army Cyber Command team discussed planning factors working with down-range networks and mission relevant cyber terrain with the SFAB, specifically, the need to maintain situational awareness of the blue network and ability to identify key cyber terrain, the Army Cyber Command spokesman said. The unit was also given lessons on implementing defensive measure using organic tools. https://www.fifthdomain.com/dod/army/2018/04/05/in-armys-newest-unit-everyone-learns-cyber-skills/
