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 promised outcome was the formal establishment of a U.S. Cyber Force as a seventh armed service. That did not occur. As of June 13, 2026, the United States still operates U.S. Cyber Command and service-specific cyber components rather than an independent Cyber Force branch. The available evidence shows Fallon publicly advocated for the idea and said the effort was still being pursued, but it does not show enactment, formal creation, or a completed reorganization delivering the promised result. Because the record here shows advocacy without a demonstrated successful or near-successful legislative enactment, this is best scored as not delivered rather than partial.
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.
