As part of that playbook we need to redefine hybrid warfare. We know we can go kinetic. We have the tools, processes. We have some subject-matter experts here that I could learn from on how to go kinetic. You need to understand as a precursor to those activities that cyberwarfare is the first mechanism for effectively disrupting your communications, disrupting your measures for energy, which causes chaos in your systems and impacts your ability to respond kinetically. If you're going to go down that path, you need to start resourcing up, training up, and providing additional tools, processes, and measures to help support the troops in these foreign operations both here and abroad.
