When Cell Phones Kill: Digital Discipline and the Future of SOF Obscurity
David Cook
 
 
“This device [holding up a cell phone] is going to get our soldiers killed.”
— Maj. Gen. Curtis Taylor, Commanding General, National Training Center

“There is no sanctuary at home or abroad… Our digital signature exposes individual and collective patterns of life.”
— LTG Jonathan Braga, Commanding General, US Army Special Operations Command

“Security through obscurity… It’s not about being invisible but about blending into the noise — layering tactics to create a security wrapper around how we operate in contested environments.”
— Christopher Maier, Former ASD for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
