From the Editors After five years of publishing the Marine Corps University Journal, MCU Press looks forward to an exciting future by redesigning and reformatting the journal to emphasize its role in supporting the national conversation. The new MCU Journal will focus on publishing established authors along with young, emerging scholars, combining the strengths of both on themes of international relations, national security, political science, and other disciplines. By engaging authors in a variety of fields, we can cross disciplines to bring new knowledge, constructs, and solutions to our readers. Moreover, by bridging the civilian and military divide, our audience can read about different perspectives on policy and contemporary issues. For the spring 2016 issue, we have done just that with articles on domestic and international topics as well as book reviews, all of which represent the ideas being broached by academic scholars, think tank analysts, and military leaders. Headlines so far for 2016 have highlighted the fact that the United States seems to be lagging on the cyberfront. Journalists, in such stories as “Federal Government Confirms That It Still Sucks at Cyber Security” and “New Military Outfit to Enhance China’s Cyber Security, Espionage Prowess,” point to a higher level of advances being made overseas as our own government struggles to safeguard what should be secure networks and the identities of millions. These recent issues might make the casual reader wonder how our military intends to counter cyberattacks from foreign soils when the government cannot seem to manage at home. In the lead article, “Identity, Attrition, and the Challenge of Targeting in the Cyberdomain,” Colonel Glenn Voelz and coauthor Sarah Soliman explore this new terrain for irregular warfare whereby the nation’s adversaries manipulate the newest technology to gather intelligence, spread propaganda, and recruit and train combatants via an intricate web of cybertools, particularly in such austere environments as Iraq and Afghanistan where positive identification of fighters to support high-value targeting and to eliminate insurgent networks was virtually impossible. The boots on the ground must now work within the context of innovative doctrinal concepts and analytical methods. This new reality creates a 5
