Orient Shield/Cyber Blitz Factsheet

Photo By Edric Thompson | Cyber Blitz 2019 was executed simultaneously and in conjunction with U.S. Army Pacific’s (USARPAC) Orient Shield Exercise in Japan. This marked the first time that the Army combined field-based experimentation with an Army service component command tier 1 exercise. It was also the first event to feature bilateral defensive cyber operations with the JGSDF, who sent personnel to Cyber Blitz to operate along with their U.S. Army counterparts. Cyber Blitz 2019 executed I2CEWS functions at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ, which in real time supported geo-spatial maneuver and live kinetic fires missions being executed in Japan.
