The Army will allow an opposing force to conduct cyberwarfare against the first digitized division when it demonstrates the combat capabilities of the information technology-dependent force in April. The Army came under fire from critics within its own ranks, in Congress and elsewhere when it started experimenting with digitized armored forces from the 4th Infantry Division during an Advanced Warfighting Experiment at Fort Irwin, Calif., in 1997. Service leaders said at the time that much of the equipment was prototypical, and the field exercise was an experiment that already had too many variables. Allowing the opposing force to use network attack tools likely would have been too much for the digitized corps? fledgling network. The message at the time was that the service would put the digitized division's network security to the test at a later date. The link for this article located at FCW is no longer available. .
