FORT GORDON, Ga.- The U.S. Secretary of the Army visited U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) leaders at Fort Gordon on March 26, 2026.
During the visit, the Honorable Dan Driscoll engaged with ARCYBER commander Lt. Gen. Christopher L. Eubank, other senior leaders, and operators to discuss the future of cyber warfare and its integration with the total force.
As part of these discussions, Eubank briefed Driscoll on the command's role in delivering lethality and readiness for the U.S. Army in the cyber domain.
“Our role is to seamlessly integrate cyberspace operations, information operations, and electronic warfare to provide commanders at every echelon with a full spectrum of capabilities,” said Eubank. “We are constantly adapting and modernizing to ensure that our forces at the tactical edge are equipped to fight and win in a complex, data-driven environment. We know we are ready for conflict because we conduct our mission against the enemy every day.”
In addition to meeting with ARCYBER leaders, Driscoll also met with the science advisor to the ARCYBER commanding general, Mark "Al" Mollenkopf, who briefed him on optimizing military missions and staff effort through automation and artificial intelligence.
“ARCYBER is leading the Army’s effort to apply AI to cyberspace operations,” said Mollenkopf. “Our focus is on leveraging artificial intelligence for our warfighters that creates a powerful force multiplier. By automating routine tasks and analyzing vast amounts of data, we empower our soldiers to make faster, more informed decisions, ultimately enhancing mission effectiveness and safeguarding our nation’s interests in the digital domain.”
During the visit, ARCYBER demonstrated offensive and defensive capabilities to Driscoll. The 11th Cyber Battalion, the Army's first expeditionary cyber battalion, conducted RF-enabled cyber operations using unmanned aerial systems.
These engagements underscore how the U.S. Secretary of the Army’s visit highlights the growing importance of cyberspace operations, especially the defense of critical infrastructure, to the Army’s readiness and modernization priorities.
The Secretary's visit affirmed ARCYBER's role in driving Army modernization. Demonstrations, from AI analysis to unmanned aerial operations, showed a command both preparing for and shaping the future of warfare. This engagement underscores the Army's commitment to investing in cyber capabilities, ensuring national security and a decisive global edge.
