we, as a country, cannot adequately defend our national interests without a Cyber Force... Cyber Force is inevitable... We’re going to get this done
Establish a U.S. Cyber Force as the seventh branch of the armed forces.
Occurrences
Evidence
Rep. Fallon used a CSIS appearance to argue that the United States should establish a dedicated Cyber Force as a seventh armed service and said the effort was still being pursued.
Assessments
The evidence shows Pat Fallon actively advocated for and continued pursuing creation of a U.S. Cyber Force as a seventh armed service, including through a 2026 CSIS-related appearance. However, the promised outcome requires actual establishment of a new armed forces branch, and the provided record does not show enactment or official creation of such a branch. Because this is a serious federal policy effort but not a delivered institutional outcome, it should be scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
