Utilization of National Guard Cyber Forces in Title 32 Status for National Cyber Missions

Sep 03, 2025

Abstract

The U.S. military possesses a deep and extensive body of cyber expertise in uniform in the National Guard and Reserve force in particular. Leveraging this expertise effectively, both in a way that is productive for the military, and that is fulfilling and meaningful for the servicemember — which results in benefits for recruiting, retention, and continued development of this expertise — has been an ongoing challenge. This productive employment is even more challenging while in reserve status, resulting in attrition of this critical force. There is a national imperative, as well as clear statements from military cyber leadership, to effectively utilize all available resources to include the National Guard and Reserve force to meet the nation's cyber challenges.
