A civilian cybersecurity reserve corps is needed for the Pentagon and DHS, lawmakers from both parties say (scyther5/Getty Images) A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pushing to create a civilian reserve corps of cybersecurity experts to help defend national security interests, amid concerns about growing digital threats to public and private networks and infrastructure. The Civilian Cybersecurity Reserve pilot program would bolster the workforces at the Defense Department and Department of Homeland Security by bringing in former federal employees and military veterans who are trained in the field and could respond to emergencies. Civilian reservists could give the federal government a fresh tool in its arsenal to protect networks and root out bad actors in cases like last year’s SolarWinds breach, in which Russian intelligence is suspected of compromising about 100 companies and about a dozen government agencies.

17 Mar 2021
The Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, or CAAF, heard arguments March 9 in the case of a retired Navy sailor who is challenging the constitutionality of his conviction by court-martial after he left military service.
Attorneys for retired Chief Petty Officer Stephen Begani say the current laws are flawed because they treat retired members of the active and reserve forces differently when it comes to recalling them for court-martial, and Congress overstepped its authority in making active-duty retirees subject to court-martial.
The government has argued that the military proceedings were fair because Begani, as a member of the Naval Fleet Reserve, which includes enlisted Navy retirees who leave active service after 20 years but under 30 years and receive retainer pay rather than retired pay, was subject to recall to military service in a national emergency.
