El Pent\u00e1gono est\u00e1 estableciendo un programa de pago de incentivos cibern\u00e9ticos de m\u00faltiples capas para aumentar las capacidades cibern\u00e9ticas como parte del esfuerzo del Proyecto Patriot Pipeline del Departamento de Defensa. La iniciativa Cyber Mastery Incentive Pay, o C-MIP, est\u00e1 destinada a modernizar la forma en que el departamento alienta a las Fuerzas de Operaciones del Ciberespacio, las unidades militares y civiles responsables de las operaciones del ciberespacio.<\/p>\n
The Pentagon is establishing a multilayered cyber incentive pay program to boost cyber capabilities as part of the DoD\u2019s\u00a0Project Patriot Pipeline<\/a>\u00a0effort.<\/p>\n The Cyber Mastery Incentive Pay, or C-MIP, initiative is meant to modernize how the department encourages the Cyberspace Operations Forces, the military and civilian units responsible for cyberspace operations, according to a June 10\u00a0release<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cTo incentivize our cyber forces and meet both Department of War and Defense Industrial Base needs, we need to shed legacy incentive models and invest directly in our people serving on the digital front lines. C-MIP does this,\u201d Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata said in the release.<\/p>\n The C-MIP program drops the previous incentive models to a more flexible system that aligns pay with skillset mastery and performance of demanding tasks, the announcement says. The program was developed in 60 days by the\u00a0CYBERCOM 2.0<\/a>\u00a0unit.<\/p>\n The program will feature two layers: skill incentive pay and special duty pay.<\/p>\n Skill incentive pay, or SIP, is considered the foundational layer that rewards an individual for skill level, whether it\u2019s basic, senior or master.<\/p>\n Special duty assignment pay, or SDAP, is a monthly incentive for members who perform duties CYBERCOM deems \u201cexceptionally demanding\u201d and scale their skills by serving in roles such as trainers or more advanced cyber positions.<\/p>\n \u201cBy breaking down the bureaucratic norms of government incentives, this framework enables increased lethality by driving the skills, roles and duties most vital to mission success,\u201d Katie Sutton, assistant secretary of defense for cyber policy, who will lead the execution of the program, said in the statement.<\/p>\n The pay incentive program is slated to begin Oct. 1, per the release. The announcement did not specify the pay incentive amount for either program level.<\/p>\n This initiative follows a recent push from some lawmakers to advance the creation of an independent Cyber Force military service.<\/p>\n A report from two D.C. think tanks examined how a\u00a0proposed Cyber Force<\/a>\u00a0could take over the \u201cservice-like\u201d responsibilities that CYBERCOM is currently expected to perform.<\/p>\n However, it would take at least one year and $10 billion to stand up the new force.<\/p>\n
