The Green Berets demonstrated their ability to hack networks.
An elite U.S. Army unit known as the Green Berets demonstrated its skills in cyberspace during the recent Swift Response 24 exercise, which took place in May. According to the military, the squad carried out an operation to hack networks during a training seizure of a building in Sweden.
The Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA), a highly skilled soldier, has expanded its skills to include hacking skills. During the operation near the city of Skillingaryud, the soldiers of the 10th Special Forces Group used special equipment to connect to the target's Wi-Fi networks, which allowed them to monitor activity in the building.
The building was pre-scanned using a remote access device, which made it possible to determine the networks operating in it. By cracking passwords, the fighters gained access to surveillance cameras, security systems and closed doors, which were then disabled.
In the second phase of the operation, another detachment was parachuted seven miles from the target, after which the fighters conducted reconnaissance, infiltrated the building, and installed signal jamming equipment to cover their tracks. They also reportedly left a laptop playing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," adding an element of humor to the complex military operation.
The Swift Response 24 exercise was part of a large-scale NATO exercise aimed at demonstrating the alliance's readiness to act together in the event of an attack on one of its members. For the first time, new NATO members - Finland and Sweden - took part in such exercises. More than 40,000 troops from the United States and other countries participated in the maneuvers, which was a clear signal to potential adversaries about NATO's readiness for defense.
The exercises showed the importance of cyber warfare and the use of technology on the front line, which is becoming an integral part of modern military operations.
