This is to propose the Australian Defence Force (ADF) raise an Australian CyberWarfare Battalion (ACWB) of 300 personnel, to protect Australia's national information infrastructure. All but a small cadre would be reserve military personnel who have full time jobs as computer security professionals. After very basic military training, personnel would be issued with secure communications and return to their workplace. Personnel would remain in touch with each other monitoring computer security threats. In the event of a large scale attack, most of the Battalion would stay in their workplaces to protect infrastructure, while a small number would deploy to industry, government and military centers to coordinate operations.
