00:03.540 --> 00:07.390
For more

00:07.390 --> 00:09.950
than 200 years , marines and sailors

00:09.950 --> 00:12.990
have fought and won in the air , land

00:13.000 --> 00:13.950
and sea

00:16.340 --> 00:19.310
whenever and wherever the call came .

00:19.320 --> 00:22.120
Our adversaries , however , are never

00:22.130 --> 00:24.730
far behind . We win because we are

00:24.730 --> 00:27.780
adaptable , capable and discipline for

00:27.780 --> 00:29.890
competition in every arena .

00:29.900 --> 00:32.530
Modernization is just another way of

00:32.530 --> 00:35.010
saying adaptation and we are constantly

00:35.010 --> 00:37.232
adapting to the ever changing landscape

00:37.232 --> 00:39.190
of our world . There are those who

00:39.190 --> 00:41.246
would believe that we are behind the

00:41.246 --> 00:43.023
times in this world of evolving

00:43.023 --> 00:45.030
technologies and information . The

00:45.030 --> 00:47.410
truth is , the Marine Corps specializes

00:47.410 --> 00:49.720
in adaptation and that adaptation has

00:49.720 --> 00:51.331
led to the creation of a new

00:51.331 --> 00:54.750
information command . In 2017 , the U .

00:54.750 --> 00:56.806
S . Department of Defense structured

00:56.806 --> 00:58.972
the future of the military's Bush into

00:58.972 --> 01:01.139
the cognitive domain with the creation

01:01.139 --> 01:03.250
of the seventh warfighting function .

01:03.250 --> 01:05.380
Information . Out of this came the

01:05.380 --> 01:07.660
Marine Expeditionary Force Information

01:07.660 --> 01:10.490
Group or make a groundbreaking new

01:10.490 --> 01:12.657
organization which operates within the

01:12.657 --> 01:14.601
complex and technologically driven

01:14.601 --> 01:16.768
field of the information environment .

01:17.140 --> 01:19.060
Modern advances in technology and

01:19.060 --> 01:21.227
communications such as smartphones and

01:21.227 --> 01:23.440
tablets and laptops have changed . The

01:23.440 --> 01:25.329
spaces in which we must focus our

01:25.329 --> 01:27.740
energy and resources . The information

01:27.740 --> 01:30.490
environment , or E . Is a strange new

01:30.490 --> 01:32.546
world with unique battle spaces that

01:32.546 --> 01:34.830
require the MIG to understand and

01:34.830 --> 01:37.410
utilize cognition , information and

01:37.410 --> 01:40.040
physical assets in order to both combat

01:40.050 --> 01:42.660
disinformation and ensure the cognitive

01:42.660 --> 01:44.990
freedom of people , media outlets ,

01:45.000 --> 01:47.140
social media platforms and countless

01:47.140 --> 01:49.860
mobile applications have given anyone

01:49.870 --> 01:53.010
consistent access to global information

01:53.110 --> 01:55.054
and communication . How to moments

01:55.054 --> 01:57.570
notice the MIG is designed to be able

01:57.570 --> 02:00.140
to combat threats and abuses of that

02:00.150 --> 02:02.460
global interconnectedness in a shifted

02:02.460 --> 02:04.800
space in order to prevent the unjust

02:04.810 --> 02:08.160
influence on free thought . To that end ,

02:08.170 --> 02:10.470
the MIG organizes itself into six

02:10.470 --> 02:12.600
subordinate commands to execute the

02:12.600 --> 02:15.510
functions of oi or operations in the

02:15.520 --> 02:17.720
information environment , while also

02:17.720 --> 02:19.660
providing physical support to the

02:19.670 --> 02:22.440
expeditionary forces as a whole . At

02:22.440 --> 02:24.662
the nucleus is the make command element

02:24.662 --> 02:26.884
and the information command center or I

02:26.884 --> 02:28.960
see see the I . C . C . Through

02:28.960 --> 02:31.071
deliberate and consistent observation

02:31.071 --> 02:33.250
and analysis , coordinates information

02:33.250 --> 02:35.250
related capabilities for a specific

02:35.250 --> 02:37.290
region and then makes situational

02:37.290 --> 02:39.457
recommendations for force commanders .

02:39.700 --> 02:42.100
The intelligence battalion is directly

02:42.100 --> 02:44.430
responsible for planning , collecting ,

02:44.440 --> 02:46.910
processing , producing and

02:46.910 --> 02:49.120
disseminating intelligence assets as

02:49.120 --> 02:51.287
well as providing counter intelligence

02:51.287 --> 02:53.398
support for the command element . The

02:53.398 --> 02:55.453
responsibility to establish maintain

02:55.453 --> 02:57.820
and defend communications networks lies

02:57.820 --> 02:59.820
with the communications battalion .

02:59.820 --> 03:01.653
This battalion gives the command

03:01.653 --> 03:03.653
elements the ability to command and

03:03.653 --> 03:06.270
control operational forces providing

03:06.270 --> 03:08.159
similar capabilities is the radio

03:08.159 --> 03:09.992
battalion , which is designed to

03:09.992 --> 03:11.714
provide signals intelligence ,

03:11.714 --> 03:13.750
electronic warfare , cyberspace

03:13.750 --> 03:15.490
capabilities and intelligence

03:15.490 --> 03:17.268
communications support to joint

03:17.268 --> 03:20.040
commanders . The air naval gunfire

03:20.040 --> 03:22.690
liaison company for anglican . So is

03:22.690 --> 03:24.801
the primary weapon of opportunity for

03:24.801 --> 03:26.968
the MIG . Anglican provides commanders

03:26.968 --> 03:28.930
with foreign area expertise to

03:28.930 --> 03:31.140
coordinate and deconflict airspaces ,

03:31.150 --> 03:33.130
which allows access to close air

03:33.130 --> 03:35.450
support , artillery and naval gunfire

03:35.940 --> 03:38.107
to provide for the logistical needs of

03:38.107 --> 03:40.051
a command the size the MIG has the

03:40.051 --> 03:42.160
marine expeditionary Force support

03:42.160 --> 03:44.100
battalion . The support battalion

03:44.100 --> 03:46.100
provides the connection between the

03:46.100 --> 03:48.211
conceptual employment of force to the

03:48.211 --> 03:51.420
physical distribution of resources for

03:51.420 --> 03:53.587
all the physical capabilities that the

03:53.587 --> 03:55.642
MEG employees in its mission to both

03:55.642 --> 03:57.531
inform domestic and international

03:57.531 --> 03:59.531
audiences . It's the communications

03:59.531 --> 04:01.642
strategy and operations , or contract

04:01.642 --> 04:03.531
company that shapes the cognitive

04:03.531 --> 04:06.560
aspects of the battle space . Together

04:06.650 --> 04:09.110
and collectively . These units make up

04:09.120 --> 04:11.580
the MIG , a force that stands ready and

04:11.580 --> 04:13.990
constantly vigilant of a dynamic and

04:13.990 --> 04:16.420
fluctuating landscape in our world .

04:16.430 --> 04:18.840
The narrative is changing daily and

04:18.840 --> 04:21.310
it's our mission to both visualize and

04:21.310 --> 04:23.870
verbalize our narrative while ensuring

04:23.870 --> 04:27.530
a thriving future for all now , more

04:27.530 --> 04:29.750
than ever , protecting our freedom ,

04:29.760 --> 04:32.950
our peace and our prosperity is reliant

04:32.950 --> 04:35.230
on protecting the state of our union

04:35.240 --> 04:38.570
and the state of our minds . Now we all

04:38.570 --> 04:41.140
have the power to change our world . So

04:41.140 --> 04:43.140
thank you for using your powers for

04:43.140 --> 04:42.960
good .
