Generally speaking, you'll find the federal government has a litany of agencies, on both the offensive and defensive side of... everything. There are absolutely government resources working on securing American infrastructure.

And shifting from one to the other appears to be happening, to some degree: https://breakingdefense.com/2021/06/dod-budget-appears-to-cu...

At this point though we need to have entire new branch of the military. Otherwise, I just don't see how we are taking this serious enough.

The way the Air Force specializes in the air.

It is just incredible how we are always fighting the last war. From 9/11, instead of learning we need to constantly stay on top of a shifting battlefield we learned to fight Islamic terrorism. Not good.
