This was the first time this exercise was planned and held at the SECRET//REL Five Eyes level in Australia by the ADF, with previous exercises held by our global partners at a lower classification level. The ADF worked closely with United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) in the planning of this exercise which is part of the global effort sharing of partner cyber readiness. Over 60 US Cyber Command personnel participated alongside over 90 ADF members. The participants were joined by a number of observers from Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The exercise comprised five blue force teams consisting of three Australian teams from Royal Australian Army 138 Signals Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force 462 Squadron and Royal Australian Navy Fleet Cyber Unit, and two teams from the United States, USFLEETCYBER and MARFORCYBER. Exercise Cyber Sentinels supports the training and development continuum of cyber units by honing individual and collective cyber-based skills. Additionally, the networking and learning opportunities from other nations are benefitting the ADF to further develop in the Cyber Domain and supporting reciprocal training opportunities in the future.
