3 priorities for the Marines' information directorate

The new head of the Marine Corps’ nascent information directorate is focusing on three priorities: network modernization, putting new information-related units to work and gaining asymmetric advantage.

The Marine Corps reorganized its leadership in 2017 to create a new three-star position, the deputy commandant for information, that would oversee all aspects of information war to include cyber, electronic warfare, signals intelligence and information operations. Over the summer, Lt. Gen. Lori Reynolds became the second officer to hold this new position.
