  We examine a non-Abelian SUSY $SU(2) \times U(1)$ gauge theory and a SUSY
U(1) theory originally used to investigate the microphysics of cosmic strings
in supersymmetric theories. We show that both theories automatically include
hybrid inflation. In the latter theory we use a $D$ term to break the symmetry.
SUSY is broken during inflation and restored afterwards. Cosmic strings are
formed at the end of inflation. The temperature anisotropy is calculated and
found to vary as $(M_{GUT}/M_P)^2$.
