“Mandate that development teams will include both coders and soldiers, aircrew, and sailors with kinetic experience at the platoon level.”
What has happened
- Not started
Nothing found. No enacted provision, Federal Register document or allowlisted agency record in the window requires cyber development teams to include personnel with platoon-level kinetic experience. The FY2026 NDAA's cyber workforce provisions concern the Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture, cyber training environments and the Cyber Excepted Service, none of which imposes an operational-experience composition rule. See the Chapter 4 cluster negative search for page 120.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.
