The military’s Cyberwarfare Group has been renamed the Cyberwarfare Wing after an expansion and reorganization to meet rising Chinese cyberthreats, a defense official said on Sunday.

A unit of the Information and Electronic Warfare Command, the wing saw an increase in personnel from less than 600 to between 800 and 1,200, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The wing is the only military formation outside of the air force that is organized as a wing, a basic deployable unit of maneuver roughly equivalent to an army or marine brigade or a naval fleet, the official said.

Wing Commander Colonel Chen Yung-shun (陳永順) has been combing the nation’s higher education institutions to find recruits with the appropriate skill sets for the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, the official said.    [FULL  STORY]
