Leveraging to Win: The Marine Corps Confronts the Intelligence Challenges of Social Media Versus Operations Security

Abstract

Social media provides opportunities for training, recruiting and information sharing while at the same time heightening the risk of sensitive information release. This paper argues that in order for the Marine Corps to balance social media capabilities it must also limit the risk to operations security, and that to do so it must establish a training program using a developed "tier system" to assist in mitigating the risk while providing additional information resources to the end user.
