Germany is also building a “network army” with both offense and defense. In April this year, the German Federal Defense Forces established the Cyber Information Space Command and set out to set up an independent service of the green laser pointer Defense Forces responsible for network security. It is envisaged that this force will have both cyber attack and defense capabilities. At the same time, the British Army established the 77th Brigade of the Cyber Warfare Special Forces, known as the “Facebook Force,” with a staffing of 1,500.
Modern warfare has extended from a flat battlefield to a virtual multi-dimensional battlefield, and revolutionary changes are taking place in the form and style of warfare. Network weapons have powerful multi-angle and multi-level destruction capabilities. Network methods can not only directly trigger information wars and public opinion wars, but the military can also use network platforms to attack information systems and even physical weapons and equipment.
