The article from The Age infers the solution, without actually revealing it, noting that it is connected with the organisation's mission statement: "USCYBERCOM plans, coordinates, integrates, synchronizes and conducts activities to: direct the operations and defense of specified Department of Defense information networks and; prepare to, and when directed, conduct full spectrum military cyberspace operations in order to enable actions in all domains, ensure US/Allied freedom of action in cyberspace and deny the same to our adversaries."
In fact, using a reverse hash calculator we can easily determine that indeed the code is the MD5 hash of the mission statement.
This all suggests a couple of things. That the new Cyber Command might actually know a thing or two about encryption techniques and also that they seem to have a mild sense of humour.
