Warfighting in the Information Age

Abstract

The Marine Corps is optimized for 20th century warfare. The mechanical and industrial ways of war define how the Service organizes, trains and equips for industrial age warfighting. The operating environment has changed in the 21st century. Today's operating environment is increasingly characterized by unprecedented access to information and the proliferation of information technologies. In what has been called the information age, the Marine Corps has yet to fully assess and understand the opportunities and vulnerabilities created by the new operating environment.
