Hey,

Sure. Please could you limit the search to the subject of CYBERCOM and ISIL? For reference, the reason I'm asking is for more insight into when Carter encouraged CYBERCOM to intensify its fight against ISIL: https://www.defense.gov/News/Article/Article/645212/carter-encourages-cyber-command-to-intensify-fight-against-isil/

Thank you,

From: US Strategic Command - USSTRATCOM

how they respond. I do not expect any pushback.
