US Cyber Command has appointed Ronzelle Green, a veteran of several intelligence agencies, to lead its artificial intelligence work, establishing a senior post dedicated to integrating AI into military cyber operations. The appointment is the command's most concrete organisational signal yet that AI is being treated as an operational capability rather than a research interest.

The move sits in the same week as the joint CISA/NSA/FBI advisory framing frontier-model capability acquisition as a state-security issue, and alongside a documented AI-orchestrated intrusion campaign against PaperCut. For allied defence and intelligence organisations โ€” including Australia's ASD and New Zealand's GCSB โ€” it is a marker of how military cyber commands are structuring AI governance, evaluation and employment, and of the recruitment competition for scarce expertise that will follow.
