The Marine Corps Cyber Auxiliary (also called the Cyber Aux) is a volunteer organization designed to attract cybersecurity experts in aiding United States Marine Corps cyberspace readiness.
History
The Cyber Auxiliary was announced in April 2019. Some details regarding the organization have yet to be announced as of December 2019.
Leadership
The Cyber Auxiliary is managed by LtGen Matthew G. Glavy, the Marine Corps Deputy Commandant for Information.
Role
The role of the Cyber Auxiliary is to "assist in simulated environments" with Marines; members are not authorized to carry out "hands-on cyber activities" (e.g. cyberwarfare or cybersecurity operations). Members of the Cyber Auxiliary will only be civilians or veterans, not members of the Marine Corps. However, they will serve to strengthen the Marine Corps' posture in the era of information warfare.
This effort should not be confused with the new paid employee program "Cyber Force".
Requirements
The requirements for the Cyber Auxiliary do not include military grooming, uniform, or physical fitness standards. However, Cyber Auxiliary applications must:
be a U.S. citizen
have 3 years of work or academic experience in the cyber industry
an industry leader or highly regarded in their field
enthusiastic in volunteering for the Cyber Auxiliary
not a current U.S. Government employee
have an honorable discharge, if prior service
