The Marine Expeditionary Unit Information Section: Establishing Information Superiority at the Tactical Level and Beyond

Abstract

The operationalization of the information environment by belligerent states and threat actors across the range of military operations has violated individual and state sovereignty around the world. The enemy has gained the initiative seizing key terrain within the global network of information systems. A strong reactive defense can no longer be the standard to preserve US national security within the information environment. If the United Stated is to dominate within the information environment, it must train, man, equip, and employ the Marine Expeditionary Unit to establish regional information superiority within geographic combatant commands. The 21st century MAGTF must operationalize the information environment and employ all capabilities within, as a supporting arm to achieve physical and cognitive advantage thereby preserving US national security and sovereignty.
