chapter 3: programs
Introduction
We are preparing for tomorrow’s fight in three critical areas: cyber warfare;
special operations; and security cooperation. Modern armed forces cannot
conduct high-tempo, effective operations without reliable information
and communications networks and assured access to cyberspace and space.
The Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command is the focus of our organic
cyber capabilities and capacities needed to retain speed, precision, and lethality.
The Marine Corps Special Operations Command is the Corps contribution
to the U.S. Special Operations Command and maintains a shared heritage
and strong bond with its parent service as “soldiers from the sea.” The
Marine Corps Security Cooperation Group capitalizes on our theater security
cooperation and partnership activities with allies and partners, providing our
leaders with strategic options to shape outcomes, prevent conflicts, strengthen
“at-risk” states, and deny enemy safe-havens.
