The six faculty members received an orientation on several aspects of the ERDC, met key leaders, and toured lab facilities of interest. During the meetings, potential research relationships were discussed as well as projects that would provide Cadets and faculty members with exceptional developmental opportunities.

UPCOMING EVENTS: July-August: Department Sponsored AIADs SANSFIRE 2016 Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science On 12-18 June 2016, 3 cadets and 4 EECS faculty attended SANSFIRE education opportunities in Washington D.C. as part of the Dean s Margin of Excellence and in support of preparing for the upcoming semester, the 2017 Cyber Defense Exercise (CDX), and the 2017 Cadet Competitive Cyber Team (C3T). One 5-person 5

team placed fifth among 25 teams in the culminating 2-day hack-a-thon. A two person team placed 2d of 15 teams in their capture-the-flag event. Attendees took a wide variety of computer security courses, to include: Network Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking, Hacker Tools, Techniques, Exploits and Incident Handling, Advanced Penetration Testing, Exploit Writing, and Ethical Hacking, and Reverse-Engineering Malware: Malware Analysis Tools and Techniques. During the intense week-long training, cadets and faculty gained knowledge, learned how to use cyber tools, and gained experience related to cyber security. They also participated in a two day hack-a-thon competition against over 200 personnel attending SANSFIRE. Using their new found knowledge and tools, a five man team from USMA tied for third, and tie breaking procedures led to their placing fifth out of over 25 teams. The final day of education and training included course specific capture-the-flag style competitions. The two man team that finished 2 nd place earned coveted SANSFIRE coins from the SANS Institute. Ultimately, SANSFIRE was an outstanding Margin of Excellence opportunity. The USMA cadets and faculty returned better equipped to incorporate security into USMA s curriculum, prepare for the 2017 CDX, and prepare for and win events the C3T will attend in AY2017. The faculty and cadets are now better prepared to fight and win in the challenging and ever changing cyber realm From left to right: MAJ Benjamin Klimkowski, MAJ Scott Hutchison, 1LT Erik Hunstad (USMA 14 attended while on personal leave), CDT Gun Woo Kim, CPT William North, and MAJ Daigo Hirayama in front of the NetWars Tournament scoreboard. The team from USMA fought hard and earned fifth place overall. 6

CPT Sherburne Graduates the Army Cyberspace Operations Planners Course CPT Matthew Sherburne, one of the EECS Department's Cyber Warfare Officers, graduated from the Army Cyberspace Operations Planners Course (ACOPC) on 1 July 2016. He was awarded the N9 ASI - Cyberspace Operations Planner. This 80 hour course prepares students to integrate, synchronize, and coordinate the employment of Cyberspace Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR); Cyberspace Attack; Cyberspace Operational Preparation of the Environment (OPE); and Cyberspace Defense Activities into cyberspace concepts of support for military operations. Focuses on examining Intelligence Support to Cyberspace Operations Planning; identifying Cyberspace Operations authorities, organizational relationships, legal considerations, and capabilities; recognizing the basic policies and processes necessary to gain approvals for Offensive Cyberspace Operations and Defensive Cyberspace Operations; evaluating how Cyberspace Attack, Cyberspace Defense, Cyberspace OPE, and Cyberspace ISR relate to each other, other information related capabilities, and friendly and adversary operations in cyberspace. CPT Sherburne will be able to utilize the knowledge gained from the course here at West Point as a mentor for Cadets in the Cyber Leader Development Program and as an instructor. 7

Combating Terrorism Center In late June, a team from Der Spiegel traveled from Germany to West Point to interview Combating Terrorism Center Director Deputy Director Brian Dodwell and Director of Research Dr. Daniel Milton for its upcoming report on recently captured Islamic State documents. The CTC had analyzed the cache of personnel records and issued a report on its findings in April, entitled The Caliphate s Global Workforce: An Inside Look at the Islamic State s Foreign Fighter Paper Trail. Mr. Dodwell and Dr. Milton spoke to Der Spiegel about the documents content and how it contributes to an overall understanding of the group s capabilities. The CTC s report is available online at https://www.ctc.usma.edu/posts/the-caliphatesglobal-workforce-an-inside-look-at-the-islamic-states-foreign-fighter-paper-trail. The Der Spiegel report will air Sunday, 17 July on Spiegel TV and will be posted online the following day at http://www.spiegel.de/sptv/magazin/. 8
