MARINE CORPS
The few. The proud. The influencers.
On Tuesday, the Marine Corps announced the creation of a new operational field focused on information operations, redesignating the 17XX operational field from cyberspace operations to information maneuver.
The new career field will combine numerous existing specialities, including cyber warfare, civil affairs, psychological operations, electromagnetic spectrum operations and space operations.
“Prior to the establishment of the Information Maneuver [occupational field], Marines gained valuable experience and skills at a Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group or at combatant commands only to go back to their previous MOS causing us to repeat the cycle again, never getting Marines with more than three years of experience across information related billets,” said Col. Jordan Walzer, director of the Information Maneuver Division.
The new field is part of an emerging focus across the service branches on information warfare, combining elements of cyberspace, space operations, electronic warfare, psychological operations and intelligence under one warfighting function. Or, in Marine Corps parlance, “operations in the information environment.”
