Delaware has a long tradition of signal readiness. With cyber and electronic warfare capabilities being a top priority for the Army’s new cyber directorate, this bodes well for our first state Soldiers.

Frost believes, however, there are offensive and defensive gaps that will need to be filled at a tactical level.
