Cyber warfare you mean? Pretty sure the Army or Air Force already have something like that. In addition to the CIA and NSA and FBI...
Do you mean like The Cyberdyne Systems Corporation?
we need a massive botnet
NSA? Air Force? Some other stuff?
No, small communal guild raids will do.

8th Air Force to become new cyber command
11/3/2006 - WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- During a media conference here Nov. 2, Secretary of the Air Force Michael W. Wynne said the 8th Air Force would become the new Air Force Cyberspace Command.
"I am announcing the steps the Air Force is taking towards establishing an Air Force Cyberspace Command," the secretary said. "The new Cyberspace Command is designated as the 8th Air Force... under the leadership of (Lt. Gen. Robert J. "Bob" Elder Jr.) He will develop the force by reaching across all Air Force commands to draw appropriate leaders and appropriate personnel."
Secretary Wynne said the 67th Network Warfare Wing, now under 8th Air Force, and other elements already within the 8th, would provide "the center of mass" for the nascent Cyberspace Command.
The secretary also said Air Combat Command, Air Force Space Command and Air Force Materiel Command are working to develop the new Cyberspace Command, while Air Force personnel specialists are working to develop educational plans and career paths for those Airmen that will work within the new command.
"The aim is to develop a major command that stands alongside Air Force Space Command and Air Combat Command as the provider of forces that the President, combatant commanders and the American people can rely on for preserving the freedom of access and commerce, in air, space and now cyberspace," Secretary Wynne said.
Air Force leaders will begin detailed planning for the new Cyberspace Command Nov. 16 at the Cyber Summit. During the summit, Air Force leaders will chart a way ahead for the Air Force's role in cyberspace, also called the cyber domain.

You people that point out the intel agencies (CIA, NSA) watch too many damn movies. They have a role, but they are not warfighting organizations...in fact, doing that would be detrimental to their primary mission: intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination.
It wasn't the Joint Staff that drove the "strategic pause"...it was the new AF leadership. We'll get the full gouge on what the future is in the next month or so and start working toward that end. Good thing, IMO...the cyber command train was speeding down the rails with no real conductor, heedless of anything in its path.Air Force Cyber Command (AFCYBER) was to become operational on Oct. 1, 2008, but the countdown to its launch on the AFCYBER website has stopped and all efforts related to this controversial command have been suspended, according to an internal Air Force e-mail obtained by Nextgov. It is not certain who ordered the halt in development but some Air Force officials think it may have come from Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who is pushing for the Navy to play a larger role in cybersecurity.[1] The Air Force Secretary Michael B. Donley and Chief of Staff Gen. Norton A. Schwartz announced August 14, they are “considering delaying currently planned actions,” but that they are still “committed to providing full-spectrum cyber capabilities to include global command and control, electronic warfare and network defense.” The current delay in action is to allow “ample time for a comprehensive assessment of all AFCYBER requirements and to synchronize the AFCYBER mission with other key Air Force initiatives.”[2] Air Force officials have announced they are confident the command will continue after the command’s mission, capabilities and size have been evaluated by the Air Force’s new leadership.
