NIST 800-53: Configuration Management. Network assets are always in a constant state of change, as systems traverse the network, and software is installed or updated. Changes can update critical devices or applications, allow for malicious devices or malware to connect to the network, or leave security gaps in devices that can easily be exploited.
Dear Ron, As of Jan. 31, there were close to 1.4 million people serving in the U.S. armed forces, according to the latest numbers from the Defense Manpower Data Center, a body of the Department of Defense. That means that 0.4 percent of the American population is active military personnel.
As for the US we had about 6 million in the army ground forces and 2.3 million in the army air forces which the air force was considered part of the army in WWII and thats why they say 8.3 million were in the US army at the end of the war. We also had 3.4 million in the Navy and about a half million in the Marines.
