Nyköping, NYLAND - Following an executive directive by President Kohout, Secretary of Defense Olof Sverkerson publicly announced a new round of hiring for Nyland's various military branches, though the new wave of incoming soldiers aren't your usual G.I.
"The future of warfare is changing as our world changes," stated Secretary Sverkerson in his press address. "Just as our society and our world becomes increasingly dependent upon cyberspace and evermore advanced computerized technologies, so to must our nation's military evolve to match and counter the new threats and vulnerabilities posed by these changes. We must account for the fact that, in the coming decades and beyond, attacks on Nyland, and even the very nature of warfare itself, will take place not with guns and bombs, but in the ever-expanding realm of cyberspace."
During the 1580 election campaign, President Kohout made it clear that "updating and modernizing" the nation's military was one of his top priorities, but Secretay Sverkerson made it clear that, "this is not the end solution to that promise, but just the first step in what will be an ongoing process to prepare our defense and security infrastructure for the future."
About 20,000 new high-tech "cyber warfare division" positions are expected to be added across all defense agencies. While primarily dealing in online and other computerized security, the D.o.D. stressed that these 17th Century warriors will not face lowered physical requirements. "These men and women will still be soldiers first, and they'll still have to demonstrate ability to handle a rifle and hike 20 miles with a 100 pound rucksack like everyone else."
It's unclear how these additional jobs will be funded, but analysts assume that, short of new appropriations from the Federal Assembly, most of the budget may very well simply be reallocated from research and development projects as many said projects wind to a close sometime in the next year or two.
