‘Stay Protected While Connected’October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of organizational cybersecurity practices and training that will help the Army improve its overall security posture. This year’s awareness month theme is “Stay Protected While Connected.” The theme emphasizes individual responsibility for protecting the Army against cybersecurity threats that endanger personnel, compromise operations, and consume resources. Cyber attacks threaten the Army’s data, networks, and systems every day, putting our operations and people at risk. Strengthening Army cybersecurity is critical to all Army warfighting operations and business functions.

FORT A.P. HILL, Va. (Oct. 6, 2015) -- The U.S. Army’s premier enlisted competition represent-ing major commands from across the force, wouldn’t be complete without the presence of the Army’s top enlisted Soldier.
Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey filled the void as he arrived at the competition, early Oct. 5, ready to encourage his Soldiers and noncom-missioned officers.
“I’m extremely proud of what you’re doing,” Dailey said. “I wish I could give you all the title of Best Warrior, I really do.”
The competitors, who began their day early with the Army Physical Fitness Test, followed by urban orientation, and immediately into an ob-stacle course, began to notice the differences in this year’s competition.
“This is unlike anything you’ve seen in the past. Because I’m trying to build physically-fit, mentally-tough Soldiers, that have knowledge, skills, and attributes capable of winning in com-
plex roles in the future,” Dailey said.This year’s Best Warrior Competition marks
the first year the event is being held on Fort A.P. Hill, the first time the events are being engaged in a new, more physically-demanding manner, and the first time the Asymmetric Warfare Group, called ‘quiet professionals’ by Dailey, are in charge of the Soldiers and the competition.
“We have to reinforce what’s important,” Dai-ley said. “I can’t recognize the Soldier as being the best Soldier or best NCO in the Army and you fail a basic Soldier task.”
Like a true Army leader, you must lead by ex-ample, Dailey said.
“If I fail the physical fitness test, do you think I should be the Sergeant Major of the Army,” Dai-ley asked.
Although the group remained relatively silent, Dailey answered for them with a smile, no, and ensured it was OK for them to call him out on it. As Dailey and the Soldiers smiled at the thought, the focus remained on the competition at hand.
