Answer
The Direct Entry Cyber Pathway is still being set up; part of the development work is to establish which Branch and Units of the Armed Forces direct entry recruits will fall under. The intent is that entrants, once trained, will operate in a range of units across Defence.
How this pathway will differ to the current entry route to the British Army, as well as the other Services, will be determined as the scheme progresses.
We hope to announce further details in due course.
