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
