WW3 Watch: Marines created first "information warfare group"
Earlier this year, the United States Marine Corps announced plans to create an "information warfare group" to compete in the fifth domain of warfare.
Despite no plans to achieve initial operating capacity this year, one Marine general said, "[T]he thinking is create the formation and let's get started as quick as we can."
This new unit will focus on communications, offensive and defense cyber operations, and intelligence for the Marine Corps. This follows a larger trend in the Army of being able to forward deploy cyber units, especially to Europe, in order to compete with Russian information warfare, which includes cyber warfare and influence operations/propaganda.
As covered in previous WorldWar3 Watch dispatches, the U.S. military is at fever pitch to compete with Russia in all five domains of warfare, and shore up current vulnerabilities.
