WEBVTT 00:00.779 --> 00:02.946 Good morning , everyone and welcome to 00:02.946 --> 00:05.769 day two of the 2023 Dous worldwide 00:05.780 --> 00:08.470 conference . Our first speaker today is 00:08.479 --> 00:10.701 United States Marine Corps , Lieutenant 00:10.701 --> 00:13.020 General Matthew Glavey . General Glavey 00:13.029 --> 00:14.751 assumed the position of deputy 00:14.751 --> 00:16.950 commandant for information for the 00:16.959 --> 00:19.070 United States Marine Corps in July of 00:19.070 --> 00:22.100 2021 . Please join me in welcoming 00:22.110 --> 00:22.959 General Glavey 00:35.029 --> 00:37.279 it worked . So it's , you're always in 00:37.290 --> 00:40.159 a tough spot when uh when you proceed 00:40.169 --> 00:42.391 one of your bosses . So I'm the warm up 00:42.391 --> 00:44.502 band here for honorable Sherman who's 00:44.502 --> 00:46.558 had quite a bit of experience in the 00:46.558 --> 00:49.209 CIO world as not only the dod Cio , 00:49.220 --> 00:51.276 which he does . Uh so well now , but 00:51.276 --> 00:53.220 certainly part of the intelligence 00:53.220 --> 00:55.276 community as , as the CIO . So sir , 00:55.276 --> 00:57.387 I'm I'm gonna do my damnedest here to 00:57.387 --> 00:59.498 be a good warm up and , and hopefully 00:59.498 --> 01:01.442 get everybody excited . The Marine 01:01.442 --> 01:03.164 Corps is , is going through an 01:03.164 --> 01:05.650 incredible period of change . Uh Change 01:06.430 --> 01:08.541 ain't for the faint of heart . I know 01:08.541 --> 01:10.652 people in this room know that because 01:10.652 --> 01:12.819 you live in a world of change . If you 01:12.819 --> 01:12.620 can't change , you're not gonna take 01:12.629 --> 01:15.660 full advantage of , of what data does 01:15.669 --> 01:17.809 for us . But the Marine Corps is 01:17.819 --> 01:20.620 executing what we call force design . 01:20.889 --> 01:23.629 Force design is just a good military 01:23.639 --> 01:27.540 response to successive administrations , 01:27.550 --> 01:29.900 providing a national defense strategy 01:30.239 --> 01:34.190 that task the military to do a 01:34.199 --> 01:36.819 mission . Our mission was pretty 01:36.830 --> 01:39.220 focused , actually very focused . It 01:39.230 --> 01:41.370 was based on a pacing threat that 01:41.379 --> 01:43.212 pacing threat was named , it was 01:43.212 --> 01:45.879 People's Republic of China and it was 01:45.889 --> 01:48.056 our responsibility to come back to our 01:48.056 --> 01:50.000 civilian leadership , civilian run 01:50.000 --> 01:52.720 military and provide the how we are 01:52.730 --> 01:55.629 going to do that . And of course , that 01:55.639 --> 01:58.269 is force design . It's pretty 01:58.279 --> 02:01.459 transformational , some major changes , 02:01.830 --> 02:03.774 you know , the honor , courage and 02:03.774 --> 02:05.830 commitment of our incredible marines 02:05.830 --> 02:07.886 doesn't change our ability to locate 02:07.886 --> 02:09.886 close with and destroy through fire 02:09.886 --> 02:11.997 maneuver doesn't change . But , but , 02:11.997 --> 02:14.108 but there's a lot of pieces and parts 02:14.108 --> 02:13.929 to this thing that have forced the 02:13.940 --> 02:16.710 Marine Corps to , to do , to do things 02:16.720 --> 02:18.919 we're not used to . I'm an aviator , 02:18.929 --> 02:21.151 right ? Spent my adult life in aviation 02:21.220 --> 02:23.442 and in aviation , we say as part of our 02:23.442 --> 02:27.429 operational risk management change 02:27.440 --> 02:29.699 is the mother of all risk . And of 02:29.710 --> 02:31.654 course , in aviation , it's a zero 02:31.654 --> 02:33.821 defect environment , you screw it up , 02:33.821 --> 02:35.766 you can hurt people , you can kill 02:35.766 --> 02:37.988 people , you can break things . So this 02:37.988 --> 02:40.440 idea of change , not necessarily part 02:41.210 --> 02:43.589 of who we are . You know , a famous 02:43.600 --> 02:45.767 author once said , if you do something 02:45.767 --> 02:47.878 10,000 times , you're gonna be really 02:47.878 --> 02:49.878 good at it . Well , in the world of 02:49.878 --> 02:52.044 aviation , that's what we wanna be the 02:52.044 --> 02:55.639 reps in sets . This ain't about that . 02:55.970 --> 02:58.509 Right . This is about the asymmetric 02:58.520 --> 03:00.070 advantage of data . 03:02.419 --> 03:04.720 We've been here before . Right . This 03:04.729 --> 03:06.729 ain't the first time in our history 03:06.729 --> 03:10.449 we've been faced with , with uh an 03:10.460 --> 03:13.089 adversary or a mission set that didn't 03:13.100 --> 03:16.779 force us to change . 1915 , 03:17.240 --> 03:20.369 1950 . Of course , North Korea comes 03:20.380 --> 03:22.547 across 38 parallel rolls up everything 03:22.547 --> 03:25.639 in its path . And what's left around 03:25.649 --> 03:28.580 this city of Busan is the Busan 03:28.589 --> 03:30.811 perimeter . The Marine Corps calls into 03:30.811 --> 03:32.979 action , a provisional Marine Brigade 03:33.399 --> 03:35.770 center around fifth Marines and we put 03:35.779 --> 03:39.080 stuff together to create a capability 03:39.190 --> 03:41.134 that we're gonna send forth to the 03:41.134 --> 03:45.089 joint force . These marines certainly 03:45.100 --> 03:48.690 had the swagger TRF and back is so kind 03:48.979 --> 03:50.868 as , as he articulates what these 03:50.868 --> 03:52.812 marines were as you would expect , 03:52.812 --> 03:54.757 honor , courage , commitment , the 03:54.757 --> 03:56.590 discipline , the precision , the 03:56.590 --> 03:58.757 leadership required to be successful . 03:58.757 --> 04:00.812 A lot of these marines are world war 04:00.812 --> 04:03.035 two veterans , right ? This is the best 04:03.035 --> 04:05.100 we had , the best we had . And the 04:05.110 --> 04:07.332 moral is the physical is three , is the 04:07.332 --> 04:09.699 one means something . It absolutely 04:09.710 --> 04:13.699 does . But , but these 04:13.710 --> 04:15.877 marines show up to the Busan perimeter 04:16.709 --> 04:18.809 with an advantage . You don't wanna 04:18.820 --> 04:21.130 show up to a gunfight with a plastic 04:21.140 --> 04:22.862 knife and fork , no matter how 04:22.862 --> 04:24.918 courageous you are , how disciplined 04:24.918 --> 04:26.751 you are , how precise you are in 04:26.751 --> 04:29.609 actions , they gotta show up with an 04:29.619 --> 04:32.230 advantage . And for these marines , I'm 04:32.239 --> 04:34.461 just gonna mention three things . One , 04:34.461 --> 04:36.350 this crazy nutty thing called the 04:36.350 --> 04:39.549 helicopter having been one . I I know 04:39.559 --> 04:41.470 the incredible value but these 04:41.480 --> 04:43.536 helicopters were still coming out of 04:43.536 --> 04:45.709 their wrappings and we put six of them 04:45.720 --> 04:48.290 on the carrier and floated them as part 04:48.299 --> 04:50.410 of mag 33 to support this provisional 04:50.410 --> 04:53.260 brigade . And they did things from day 04:53.269 --> 04:55.579 one through the whole period of time 04:56.119 --> 04:58.175 that this brigade fought as the fire 04:58.175 --> 05:00.230 brigade along that busan perimeter , 05:00.230 --> 05:02.579 putting out fires , reconnaissance , 05:02.700 --> 05:04.922 the ability to understand the terrain , 05:05.260 --> 05:07.093 right ? The first thing that was 05:07.093 --> 05:08.927 conducted , what is a leader , a 05:08.927 --> 05:10.538 leader's recon , right ? How 05:10.538 --> 05:12.690 appropriate in an intelligence for if 05:12.700 --> 05:14.811 we can't understand the adversary the 05:14.811 --> 05:16.811 terrain , the environment , right ? 05:16.811 --> 05:18.920 We're not gonna get very far . The 05:18.929 --> 05:20.929 second thing they had was a carrier 05:20.929 --> 05:24.829 full of F four U corsairs World War two 05:24.839 --> 05:26.989 vintage airplane . But what we were 05:27.000 --> 05:29.309 doing with them was the cutting edge 05:29.320 --> 05:31.899 advantage . This idea of combined arms 05:31.910 --> 05:34.132 and close air support was being come in 05:34.132 --> 05:36.243 the corner of the realm , the art and 05:36.243 --> 05:37.799 science of being a marine , 05:40.970 --> 05:43.192 the whole is truly greater than the sum 05:43.192 --> 05:45.899 of its parts . And then lastly , they 05:45.910 --> 05:49.269 show up with this amazing weapon system 05:49.839 --> 05:52.899 called the Super Bazooka . It's a 3.5 05:52.910 --> 05:55.549 inch rocket . Why was that important ? 05:56.059 --> 05:58.281 Well , the T 30 fours that came south , 05:58.760 --> 06:01.950 all the prior rockets bounced off them . 06:02.200 --> 06:05.720 This one went through it , it 06:05.730 --> 06:08.510 matters , right . It really matters . 06:09.119 --> 06:10.786 Having the capabilities to be 06:10.786 --> 06:13.910 successful matters . The advantage that 06:13.920 --> 06:16.519 we need to send our joint force to a 06:16.529 --> 06:18.130 fight , needs to make them 06:20.690 --> 06:24.359 successful . So what is our next 06:24.369 --> 06:28.029 advantage parochially the 06:28.040 --> 06:30.220 commandant has given me this task is 06:30.230 --> 06:32.950 how do we make data , the advantage we 06:32.959 --> 06:35.910 need going forward ? How do we take 06:35.920 --> 06:39.809 data mass ? It fuse it correlate 06:39.820 --> 06:41.670 it provide decision advantage , 06:41.679 --> 06:43.679 information , advantage , advantage 06:43.679 --> 06:45.790 across all the war fighting functions 06:45.790 --> 06:47.846 in order to make sure our marines go 06:47.846 --> 06:50.012 forward and it's an unfair fight . How 06:50.012 --> 06:52.179 do you do that ? How do you match that 06:52.179 --> 06:54.769 up ? The National defense strategy that 06:54.779 --> 06:56.890 tasked the marines to be the stand in 06:56.890 --> 06:59.209 force to be operating in the weapons 06:59.220 --> 07:02.940 engagement zone , terrain matters , 07:03.170 --> 07:06.200 placement and access matters . This is 07:06.209 --> 07:08.431 it , this is our asymmetric advantage . 07:08.431 --> 07:12.220 We have to fully embrace it and use 07:12.230 --> 07:14.230 it in a in ways . We probably never 07:14.230 --> 07:16.730 thought we would combined arms is like 07:16.739 --> 07:19.420 that . It's full of imagination and 07:19.429 --> 07:21.651 usually the marines are generating it . 07:21.651 --> 07:23.985 Certainly all the joint force generated . 07:23.985 --> 07:26.096 But it's this younger generation that 07:26.096 --> 07:28.207 generates it . We're counting on them 07:28.579 --> 07:31.480 the second half to our , to our data 07:31.489 --> 07:33.429 discussion is space . I had the 07:33.440 --> 07:36.070 incredible honor is that us Marine 07:36.079 --> 07:38.079 Corps Forces , uh Cyber command , a 07:38.079 --> 07:40.190 stand up us Marine Corps forces space 07:40.190 --> 07:42.135 command . And boy , was it a steep 07:42.135 --> 07:45.510 learning curve ? Space ? Uh 07:46.089 --> 07:49.470 has it has incredible opportunity . Do 07:49.480 --> 07:53.359 you know when you can see that the 07:53.959 --> 07:57.920 space capabilities ? Right are 07:57.929 --> 08:00.779 in the vertical , whatever assumptions 08:00.790 --> 08:04.040 we make , we better be careful how 08:04.049 --> 08:07.220 fast this is moving , right ? So right 08:07.230 --> 08:10.160 now as I execute my oversight of the 08:10.170 --> 08:12.059 program objective memorandum , on 08:12.059 --> 08:14.170 behalf of the commandant , I'm making 08:14.170 --> 08:16.679 decisions about fiscal year 26 . 08:18.369 --> 08:20.313 Man , I just don't even feel right 08:20.313 --> 08:23.519 saying it if we don't lead what 08:23.529 --> 08:25.585 industry and others are doing here , 08:25.739 --> 08:27.961 right ? We are , we're gonna be stale , 08:28.149 --> 08:30.371 we're gonna be in an awkward position . 08:30.959 --> 08:33.369 It's moving so fast . Unlike certainly 08:33.380 --> 08:35.047 other parts of our industrial 08:35.047 --> 08:37.047 revolution , this fourth industrial 08:37.047 --> 08:39.102 revolution is moving and moving fast 08:39.179 --> 08:41.457 and we gotta take full advantage of it . 08:42.070 --> 08:44.070 Space is the ultimate high ground , 08:44.409 --> 08:47.179 right ? Manna from heaven . If we don't 08:47.190 --> 08:49.301 fully embrace it , optimize it to our 08:49.301 --> 08:52.130 con ops , we're gonna be sub optimized 08:52.140 --> 08:54.362 in a first line fight . We will show up 08:54.362 --> 08:57.500 with the wrong weapons . Every good 08:57.510 --> 09:00.020 communicator needs a good pace plan . 09:00.030 --> 09:03.119 This is no different when people tell 09:03.130 --> 09:05.530 me that space is fragile . II , I 09:05.539 --> 09:08.590 almost got to shake my head perhaps in 09:08.599 --> 09:11.150 a moment in time . It is , but it is 09:11.159 --> 09:14.900 moving so fast . It is thickening . 09:14.909 --> 09:17.479 If there's such a phrase in military 09:17.489 --> 09:20.059 lexicon and it's certainly gaining 09:20.070 --> 09:22.780 resiliency . We need to be in front of 09:22.789 --> 09:24.900 that . We need to take full advantage 09:24.900 --> 09:27.270 of that . We need to accept some risk 09:27.280 --> 09:29.502 to fully understand what space is going 09:29.502 --> 09:31.580 to be in my case in fiscal year 26 . 09:32.190 --> 09:34.246 Because if we don't , we're short up 09:34.246 --> 09:36.419 with the wrong gear . That's how fast 09:36.429 --> 09:37.440 it is moving 09:40.840 --> 09:43.950 force . Design . Force design is , has 09:43.960 --> 09:46.710 been our , our march , we're on it . No , 09:46.719 --> 09:48.886 looking back a lot's been done . A lot 09:48.886 --> 09:51.570 more to do . A lot's been done . We 09:51.580 --> 09:54.289 just stood up 12 Marine Latour regiment 09:54.510 --> 09:56.621 on the island of Okinawa . Okinawa is 09:56.621 --> 09:58.780 critical terrain . That whole first 09:58.789 --> 10:00.845 island chain . Our , our , our , our 10:00.845 --> 10:03.200 fathers , our , our grandfathers , our 10:03.210 --> 10:05.909 great grandfathers fought , died bled 10:06.219 --> 10:08.609 on the beaches and oceans 80 years ago 10:08.659 --> 10:10.992 to execute this island hopping campaign . 10:11.059 --> 10:13.170 Operation watchtower ends in February 10:13.170 --> 10:16.380 of 1943 . That's the 10:16.390 --> 10:20.059 Guadalcanal campaign . 29 10:20.320 --> 10:22.520 US navy ships at the bottom of the 10:22.530 --> 10:25.469 ocean . After that battle , 29 10:25.479 --> 10:27.368 including two aircraft carriers , 10:28.229 --> 10:31.020 marines and navy pilots alike have to 10:31.030 --> 10:33.030 position on the unsinkable aircraft 10:33.030 --> 10:36.190 carrier of Henderson field and they 10:36.200 --> 10:39.390 termed it one fighting foot ashore , 10:40.729 --> 10:44.530 really powerful concept . As Halsey and 10:44.539 --> 10:46.859 Vandergriff moved up that island chain 10:47.609 --> 10:51.570 to the Marianas , the Philippines U 10:52.000 --> 10:55.130 Jima Okinawa . And there we stand . Our , 10:55.609 --> 10:59.080 our forefathers gave us good terrain , 11:00.169 --> 11:02.280 good terrain , good ground . And from 11:02.280 --> 11:05.000 there , we have to execute the next 11:05.010 --> 11:06.954 phase of , of all this plan and we 11:06.954 --> 11:09.369 gotta do it with really three critical 11:09.380 --> 11:11.491 factors . One , our relationship with 11:11.491 --> 11:13.269 the US navy is so critical , so 11:13.269 --> 11:15.789 critical . We fight like cats and dogs 11:15.799 --> 11:17.743 inside the Pentagon , but there is 11:17.743 --> 11:19.743 nothing more powerful than watching 11:19.743 --> 11:21.966 marines and sailors operate on a US man 11:21.966 --> 11:24.188 of war . Pretty amazing . A ballet , an 11:24.188 --> 11:26.700 orchestra . It's critical . It's the 11:26.710 --> 11:28.599 only way we're gonna work in this 11:28.599 --> 11:31.710 maritime domain . The second piece is 11:31.719 --> 11:34.900 partnerships . Wow , how critical is 11:34.909 --> 11:38.380 that ? We are obviously in key 11:38.390 --> 11:41.260 terrain based on the success of our 11:41.270 --> 11:43.859 forefathers . But also to the extent 11:43.869 --> 11:46.280 that those nations allow us , those 11:46.289 --> 11:48.511 partnerships are critical . It's got to 11:48.511 --> 11:51.570 be a win , win . And the , and , and 11:51.580 --> 11:53.136 the third part is of course 11:53.136 --> 11:55.191 modernization . We , we , we have to 11:55.200 --> 11:57.530 modernize , we gotta make sure that our 11:57.539 --> 12:00.979 marines show up with the advantage that 12:00.989 --> 12:04.380 the fire brigade had . And that's all 12:04.390 --> 12:08.059 about this data discussion , this 12:08.070 --> 12:10.380 idea of information , certainly the 12:10.390 --> 12:12.609 Marine Corps follows very closely 12:12.619 --> 12:14.675 everything the joint force and , and 12:14.675 --> 12:17.030 executes . Uh The joint force has done 12:17.039 --> 12:19.095 in the opera in , in the information 12:19.095 --> 12:21.206 environment . The comment on asked to 12:21.206 --> 12:23.317 take a step back when we wrote M CD P 12:23.317 --> 12:25.428 eight and just get out of the lexicon 12:25.429 --> 12:27.651 business and talk about information for 12:27.651 --> 12:30.510 what it is . And we came up with three 12:30.520 --> 12:34.469 clear outcomes , one systems overmatch , 12:34.640 --> 12:36.807 we gotta win the ones and zeros fights 12:36.807 --> 12:39.099 hand down , right ? It's all part of 12:39.109 --> 12:40.887 this information , war fighting 12:40.887 --> 12:43.919 function that Secretary Mattis and the 12:43.929 --> 12:47.799 Joint Chiefs of staff set up . Two . We 12:47.809 --> 12:50.031 gotta win the prevailing narrative . Of 12:50.031 --> 12:52.253 course , we do . It's who we are , it's 12:52.253 --> 12:54.420 what we do . And then third , we gotta 12:54.420 --> 12:56.309 have resiliency because this is a 12:56.309 --> 12:58.309 pretty unforgiving domain . There's 12:58.309 --> 13:00.476 good days and bad days , you know it , 13:00.476 --> 13:02.420 well , those three things were the 13:02.420 --> 13:06.049 outcomes of M CD P eight . Additionally , 13:06.059 --> 13:08.170 we stood up the deputy commandant for 13:08.170 --> 13:10.115 information . Of course , our very 13:10.115 --> 13:11.989 first one is here in the crowd . 13:12.000 --> 13:13.944 Lieutenant General Dan o'donohue , 13:13.944 --> 13:15.944 retired sir . It's great seeing you 13:15.944 --> 13:18.111 infantry officer Juan Ace , also a mar 13:18.111 --> 13:20.250 four cyber commander . But uh that's 13:20.260 --> 13:22.371 who we turn to , to hand the ball off 13:22.371 --> 13:24.739 to , to put all this together and it 13:24.750 --> 13:26.806 has moved out with incredible pace . 13:27.580 --> 13:29.524 We've created our me f information 13:29.524 --> 13:32.330 groups , very successful ability for a 13:32.340 --> 13:34.507 me F commander , our marine missionary 13:34.507 --> 13:36.396 force commander provide a purpose 13:36.396 --> 13:38.950 method and state mission to another 13:38.960 --> 13:40.682 command or execute the C two . 13:40.682 --> 13:42.738 Accountability responsibility . It's 13:42.738 --> 13:44.738 who we are . It's what we do . It's 13:44.738 --> 13:46.849 really turned this environment around 13:46.849 --> 13:48.793 for the Marine Corps to make it an 13:48.793 --> 13:52.760 advantage . Fighting smart . 13:53.530 --> 13:56.070 I know every marine has M CD P one war 13:56.080 --> 13:58.191 fighting underneath their pillow that 13:58.191 --> 14:00.191 they sleep to every night . But the 14:00.191 --> 14:03.469 very last two words and sentence in M 14:03.479 --> 14:07.409 CD P one is , it's a fast philosophy 14:07.630 --> 14:10.380 for fighting smart . Could there be 14:10.390 --> 14:12.609 anything more pertinent than , than 14:12.619 --> 14:14.841 what we do as a Marine Corps ? And what 14:14.841 --> 14:16.841 the information and uh war fighting 14:16.841 --> 14:19.008 functions can do than fight smart ? Is 14:19.008 --> 14:21.119 there anything more powerful than the 14:21.119 --> 14:23.175 one with the ones and zeros and data 14:23.175 --> 14:25.008 Centricity required to do this . 14:25.250 --> 14:28.429 Fighting smart , critical , there's a 14:28.440 --> 14:30.989 art and science to combined arms , 14:32.099 --> 14:34.210 right ? The full integration of arms 14:34.460 --> 14:36.460 that to counteract one , you become 14:36.460 --> 14:39.140 more vulnerable to another . We do this 14:39.150 --> 14:41.330 all the time kinetically and really 14:41.340 --> 14:43.562 good at it . So is the joint force writ 14:43.562 --> 14:45.673 large , the ability to provide direct 14:45.673 --> 14:47.729 fires to pin a force down to make it 14:47.729 --> 14:49.840 easy for indirect fires to hit them . 14:49.840 --> 14:53.640 Classic combined arms . Now we throw 14:53.650 --> 14:56.650 this cognitive space in and it's got to 14:56.659 --> 14:58.603 be part of it . If , if , if we're 14:58.603 --> 15:00.659 gonna gain an advantage , it's right 15:00.659 --> 15:03.020 here in this diagram somewhere . And we 15:03.030 --> 15:05.729 are training and exper experimenting to 15:05.739 --> 15:08.390 this fact , doing it out in places like 15:08.830 --> 15:10.679 mag Tab Marina ground task force 15:10.690 --> 15:14.469 training command 29 palms . Data 15:14.479 --> 15:17.960 Centricity . I gotta really throw up a 15:18.109 --> 15:20.276 shout out to the 18th Airborne Corps . 15:20.659 --> 15:22.715 They've done this man . It is pretty 15:22.715 --> 15:24.937 cool to watch what they've done to be a 15:24.937 --> 15:27.030 data centric organization . 18th 15:27.059 --> 15:28.948 Airborne Corps concerned with two 15:28.948 --> 15:31.760 things , command and control and 15:31.770 --> 15:33.770 whether they're doing non combatant 15:33.770 --> 15:36.169 evacuation operation or doing training 15:36.179 --> 15:38.235 and maintenance on 15 fives and high 15:38.235 --> 15:41.400 bars or execute a targeting cycle , 15:41.489 --> 15:44.859 right ? It starts with the data . It's 15:44.869 --> 15:46.925 a great example for us all and , and 15:46.925 --> 15:48.980 one we are fast followers on to make 15:48.980 --> 15:50.980 sure we take full advantage of it . 15:51.960 --> 15:54.127 We've learned this lesson before . The 15:54.127 --> 15:57.179 ability to dominate the information war 15:57.190 --> 15:59.523 fighting function has been taught to us . 15:59.523 --> 16:02.739 Unfortunately , in ways that , that we 16:02.750 --> 16:05.229 should never accept again . I was at us . 16:05.239 --> 16:07.350 Cyber command as all this went down . 16:07.760 --> 16:10.010 Not good out of the northern Iraqi 16:10.020 --> 16:14.000 desert comes a ragtag group with 16:14.010 --> 16:17.349 up Gunn High Lock Toyota pickup trucks , 16:17.960 --> 16:21.140 Android six phones , some hotspots , 16:21.409 --> 16:24.260 some vs A capability . Boy , they 16:24.270 --> 16:26.929 rocked our world in ways again . Lack 16:26.940 --> 16:30.630 of imagination . Of course , we don't 16:30.640 --> 16:34.250 wake up from our stupor until October 16:34.260 --> 16:37.260 of 2015 . When the streets of Paris are , 16:37.270 --> 16:39.326 are , are turned into a video game . 16:39.460 --> 16:42.969 100 and 30 people dead . Oh 16:42.979 --> 16:45.289 boy , we gotta work cut out for it . 16:45.299 --> 16:47.521 That , that middle picture up there . I 16:47.521 --> 16:50.630 remember when it hit right . Baghdad 16:50.640 --> 16:54.380 was concerned this , this worked right . 16:54.390 --> 16:57.219 This injected in them . Certainly a 16:57.239 --> 17:00.299 sense of fear and uh 17:01.210 --> 17:02.380 and required action 17:05.000 --> 17:07.000 had the opportunity to work with uh 17:07.000 --> 17:09.111 Admiral Gilday , our future CNO as we 17:09.150 --> 17:11.206 counteract this by standing up joint 17:11.206 --> 17:13.150 task force areas to bring our best 17:13.150 --> 17:15.390 minds together to fight in this domain 17:15.709 --> 17:17.876 in a very focused manner on support of 17:17.876 --> 17:20.042 a combatant commander and a joint task 17:20.042 --> 17:23.180 force to this day . Uh US Marine Corps 17:23.189 --> 17:25.245 Command and controls that mission of 17:25.245 --> 17:27.022 JTF areas . And it shifted from 17:27.939 --> 17:30.380 counterterrorism to great power 17:30.390 --> 17:32.800 competition , really proud of what 17:32.810 --> 17:36.380 those marines do bad day . We cannot 17:36.390 --> 17:37.557 repeat this lesson . 17:42.000 --> 17:45.719 So as we execute force design location , 17:45.729 --> 17:47.660 really really matters these 17:47.670 --> 17:49.837 partnerships that our forefathers have 17:49.837 --> 17:51.614 given us . We have to take full 17:51.614 --> 17:54.550 advantage of obviously being in the 17:54.560 --> 17:57.300 weapons engagement zone , being in 17:57.310 --> 17:59.609 proximity to to execute the sense and 17:59.619 --> 18:01.849 make sense mission to execute 18:01.859 --> 18:03.581 reconnaissance . Truly , as an 18:03.581 --> 18:06.010 intelligence function requires this 18:07.040 --> 18:09.510 there's certainly other methodologies I 18:09.520 --> 18:12.380 talked about space but being there , 18:12.689 --> 18:15.699 being there matters , not just 18:15.709 --> 18:17.939 stationed there , I'm talking about 18:17.949 --> 18:21.410 rehearsing enduring relationships with 18:21.420 --> 18:23.900 our partners that are critical that on 18:23.939 --> 18:26.619 a you , you foster on a good day 18:27.209 --> 18:29.939 focused on a bad day and it's not a , 18:29.949 --> 18:32.116 you're great . I'm great environment . 18:32.410 --> 18:35.180 It's we have to get better environment . 18:35.189 --> 18:38.859 These partnerships are so , so critical 18:39.079 --> 18:42.719 and a key aspect to force 18:42.729 --> 18:46.270 design . What does that look like ? 18:47.520 --> 18:49.742 What does that look like ? This is what 18:49.742 --> 18:51.631 it looks like , right ? So as the 18:51.631 --> 18:55.160 marines look at what modernization has 18:55.170 --> 18:57.448 to be in order to execute this mission , 18:57.709 --> 18:59.876 you , you probably don't see good tank 18:59.876 --> 19:02.380 terrain up there , right ? You , you , 19:02.390 --> 19:05.099 you , you probably see a lot of small 19:06.280 --> 19:09.270 infantry capabilities , sensing 19:09.280 --> 19:12.709 intelligence functions maximizing 19:13.630 --> 19:16.339 ultimately what the fleet commander has 19:16.349 --> 19:19.780 to do from a sea control standpoint . 19:21.880 --> 19:24.102 The goal is to be that extension of the 19:24.102 --> 19:26.158 fleet commander . As , as we see sea 19:26.158 --> 19:28.213 lines of communications , we want to 19:28.213 --> 19:31.349 pose a dilemma to the adversary , not 19:31.359 --> 19:34.270 today to steal Admiral Pharo's line . 19:35.229 --> 19:37.062 Always , you know , what are the 19:37.062 --> 19:40.670 marines doing requires a great 19:40.680 --> 19:43.040 shift in how you've conducted yourself . 19:43.050 --> 19:45.489 Again . All those core capabilities 19:45.920 --> 19:48.031 locate close with and destroy are all 19:48.031 --> 19:50.031 part of who we are that ain't gonna 19:50.031 --> 19:52.253 change . But there's more , there's got 19:52.253 --> 19:54.476 to be more the nation needs more . This 19:54.476 --> 19:57.810 mission set has driven us to more the 19:57.819 --> 20:00.630 ability to sense the the the ability to 20:00.640 --> 20:02.751 execute reconnaissance and ultimately 20:02.751 --> 20:05.709 do the counter . That's what it looks 20:05.719 --> 20:09.680 like and what's the equipment gonna 20:09.689 --> 20:12.000 look like ? Just an exemplar . And this 20:12.010 --> 20:14.010 is how fast technology is moving in 20:14.010 --> 20:17.130 front of us as we buy systems on the 20:17.140 --> 20:19.719 left of that screen , the systems on 20:19.729 --> 20:22.770 the right are taking over . Right ? 20:22.780 --> 20:24.947 Well , as you look at that terrain , I 20:24.947 --> 20:27.113 just showed you which one do you think 20:27.113 --> 20:30.650 is gonna work ? Of course , we'll have 20:30.660 --> 20:32.604 a hybrid approach , so no one gets 20:32.604 --> 20:34.604 scared , right ? But man , we gotta 20:34.604 --> 20:36.959 fight smart , we got to be able to 20:36.969 --> 20:40.800 execute our mission in the terrain that 20:40.810 --> 20:43.319 we've been placed . So it is gonna 20:43.329 --> 20:45.900 cause us to have these disruptive 20:45.910 --> 20:48.869 capabilities placed in our path . As I 20:48.880 --> 20:50.849 mentioned , I have the information 20:50.859 --> 20:52.829 portfolio as part of the program 20:52.839 --> 20:55.699 objective Meran memorandum for for for 20:55.709 --> 20:58.400 the commandant and the secretary . And 20:58.410 --> 21:00.410 every time they walk in with a self 21:00.410 --> 21:02.577 contained server stack , I say , hey , 21:02.577 --> 21:04.743 where's that going ? What's your power 21:04.743 --> 21:08.550 source ? What what V 2253 21:08.560 --> 21:12.469 K or C 130 is that stack going on ? I 21:12.589 --> 21:16.339 was a had incredible opportunity and 21:16.349 --> 21:18.460 honor to be commanding general Second 21:18.460 --> 21:20.682 Marine Aircraft Wing took us between 10 21:20.682 --> 21:22.682 and 14 days to stand up the tacular 21:22.682 --> 21:25.016 command center . Not , not good , right ? 21:25.016 --> 21:26.571 Not good . A lot , a lot of 21:26.571 --> 21:28.571 contraptions you , you know what it 21:28.571 --> 21:30.682 looks like , right ? You , you're all 21:30.682 --> 21:33.170 immersed in this environment , right ? 21:33.180 --> 21:35.291 That ain't gonna work . We need to do 21:35.291 --> 21:37.569 it in 10 minutes or 14 minutes . Right , 21:37.569 --> 21:39.791 that if we're gonna command and control 21:39.791 --> 21:41.902 be relevant for the joint force speed 21:41.902 --> 21:43.902 is of the essence and to do it in a 21:43.902 --> 21:45.847 timely fashion based on ability to 21:45.847 --> 21:48.180 maneuver what you have is , is critical . 21:48.180 --> 21:50.609 The of course , the right is gonna be 21:50.800 --> 21:54.510 probably more valuable than the left on 21:54.520 --> 21:55.189 a bad day . 21:58.500 --> 22:00.611 If you ever wanna know what a barroom 22:00.611 --> 22:02.778 napkin looks like at a general officer 22:02.778 --> 22:04.833 level , this is it , it's actually a 22:04.833 --> 22:07.000 whiteboard session with the commandant 22:07.000 --> 22:09.167 on how we were talking about how do we 22:09.167 --> 22:11.280 go after the capabilities that we are 22:11.290 --> 22:15.160 required to execute specifically in the 22:15.170 --> 22:16.948 information environment but but 22:16.948 --> 22:19.339 probably works in many other places . 22:19.349 --> 22:21.349 And this is kind of what we came up 22:21.349 --> 22:23.293 with , you know , the everything's 22:23.293 --> 22:25.127 gonna go by with and through the 22:25.127 --> 22:27.460 combatant commander , of course , it is . 22:27.460 --> 22:29.682 But a lot of the authorities , a lot of 22:29.682 --> 22:31.905 the approval processes are are owned by 22:31.905 --> 22:33.849 others to include the intelligence 22:33.849 --> 22:35.849 community , right ? You're gonna do 22:35.849 --> 22:37.905 signals intelligence . You better be 22:37.905 --> 22:40.071 talking to General Nakasone as the NSA 22:40.071 --> 22:42.071 director if you're gonna do Cyber , 22:42.071 --> 22:43.905 right ? You better be talking to 22:43.905 --> 22:46.290 General La Casoni command or us Cyber 22:46.300 --> 22:48.356 command , right ? If you're gonna do 22:48.356 --> 22:50.300 space , you're gonna be talking to 22:50.300 --> 22:52.467 General Dickinson , you get my point . 22:52.467 --> 22:54.411 But these authorities and approval 22:54.411 --> 22:57.569 processes end up in various places that 22:57.579 --> 22:59.690 we gotta be close to . If we're gonna 22:59.690 --> 23:01.690 generate tempo . If , if , if we're 23:01.690 --> 23:03.801 gonna generate those opportunities as 23:03.801 --> 23:06.069 the stand in force to truly maximize 23:06.079 --> 23:09.800 our placement and access the other side 23:09.810 --> 23:12.040 of the napkin looks like this . How are 23:12.050 --> 23:16.050 we gonna do it ? So , this 23:16.489 --> 23:19.180 service retained organization called 23:19.189 --> 23:21.449 the Marine Corps Information Command 23:21.459 --> 23:24.069 was built under force design and it's , 23:24.079 --> 23:26.250 it's really just taking full advantage 23:26.260 --> 23:28.800 of our relationship at Fort Meade and 23:28.810 --> 23:31.400 our relationships at Colorado Springs 23:31.410 --> 23:33.969 with those critical functional 23:33.979 --> 23:36.369 combatant commands that have global 23:36.380 --> 23:40.270 authorities , global authorities 23:40.280 --> 23:42.447 really matter if you ever never done a 23:42.447 --> 23:44.280 Secretary of Defense Orders book 23:44.280 --> 23:46.699 process really hard . But , but if 23:46.709 --> 23:48.820 we're gonna get anything done , we we 23:48.820 --> 23:50.987 gotta create tempo , we gotta be close 23:51.099 --> 23:54.890 to the action and cyber 23:55.020 --> 23:58.089 and sigint and space fall under these 23:58.099 --> 24:01.030 categories . So if we can create this 24:01.040 --> 24:03.989 idea of interior lines of communication , 24:05.130 --> 24:07.074 we think we can generate the tempo 24:07.180 --> 24:09.510 required to get this done . We , we 24:09.520 --> 24:12.890 have seen AAA lot of 24:12.900 --> 24:15.869 instantiation of this happening as our 24:15.880 --> 24:17.991 marines go forward and support ucom , 24:18.449 --> 24:21.229 watching everything that Dern provides 24:21.239 --> 24:24.150 capability wise is really powerful . 24:25.569 --> 24:27.791 Those capabilities are ones and zeros , 24:27.791 --> 24:30.013 they're apps , right ? There's new ways 24:30.013 --> 24:32.125 to look at signals of interest . I'll 24:32.125 --> 24:34.458 just leave it at that . But our marines , 24:34.458 --> 24:36.680 you know , they have a fingertip , feel 24:36.680 --> 24:38.680 these young marines , young men and 24:38.680 --> 24:38.599 women fingertip feel on how to do it . 24:38.609 --> 24:40.831 There's no directions they don't , they 24:40.831 --> 24:42.665 don't read them right . But they 24:42.665 --> 24:44.220 immerse themselves in these 24:44.220 --> 24:46.331 capabilities and they do things in an 24:46.331 --> 24:48.331 ingenious way to see it happen real 24:48.331 --> 24:51.209 time . Pretty amazing , pretty amazing . 24:52.540 --> 24:54.707 And of course , we are experimenting , 24:54.707 --> 24:56.920 things do matter , the ability to 24:56.930 --> 25:00.310 understand the airspace to do it uh at 25:00.319 --> 25:02.839 ranges required to effectively use your 25:02.849 --> 25:05.560 con ops is part of it . The idea of 25:05.569 --> 25:07.069 science and technology and 25:07.069 --> 25:09.069 experimentation is happening really 25:09.069 --> 25:11.236 fast . The Marine Corps has taken full 25:11.236 --> 25:13.770 advantage of that . Both the Valkyrie , 25:13.780 --> 25:15.613 we just had our first flights in 25:15.613 --> 25:18.010 October . We're gonna push that as soon 25:18.020 --> 25:20.280 as possible . Get that in the field 25:20.290 --> 25:23.609 user evaluations to the fleet , to the 25:23.619 --> 25:26.000 fleet and you know where it's gonna go . 25:27.469 --> 25:29.636 Of course , Nemesis , our naval strike 25:29.636 --> 25:32.140 missile capabilities provide an 25:32.150 --> 25:34.319 autonomous way for us to move that J 25:34.329 --> 25:36.551 LTV around to put it in key positions . 25:36.551 --> 25:39.189 You saw the picture earlier use your 25:39.199 --> 25:41.510 imagination on how we truly provide a 25:41.520 --> 25:43.729 dilemma to the adversary . All this 25:43.739 --> 25:46.140 works on ones and zeros , right fusion 25:46.150 --> 25:48.479 correlation , the massing of data to 25:48.489 --> 25:52.339 generate outcomes . Of course , 25:52.349 --> 25:55.579 uh No marine is worth the salt without 25:55.589 --> 25:58.550 showing amazing uh amphibious warships 25:58.560 --> 26:00.560 that provide ultimate placement and 26:00.560 --> 26:03.099 access ultimate sovereignty for the 26:03.109 --> 26:05.331 country to project power . A lot of our 26:05.331 --> 26:07.219 intelligence ISR functions are 26:07.229 --> 26:09.459 generated from the ship . I had the 26:09.469 --> 26:12.219 incredible honor of spending uh eight 26:12.229 --> 26:14.619 marine exhibition unit rotations aboard 26:14.949 --> 26:16.782 came close to getting my c pay , 26:18.250 --> 26:21.109 amazing amazing capability . Watching 26:21.119 --> 26:23.286 our marines and sailors operate off is 26:23.286 --> 26:25.060 truly astonishing . 26:29.589 --> 26:33.250 So as I wind this up and uh and , and , 26:33.260 --> 26:35.427 and we get into honorable Sherman's uh 26:35.427 --> 26:38.150 discussion I , I throw Boyd up there 26:39.310 --> 26:42.040 because , uh I've become a big fan over 26:42.050 --> 26:45.209 the years as a marine aircraft wing 26:45.689 --> 26:47.939 commander , understanding the whole T 26:48.109 --> 26:50.276 air and fixed wing mindset and fighter 26:50.276 --> 26:52.276 mindset . I figured you gotta study 26:52.276 --> 26:54.498 Boyd , but I got a lot more than that . 26:54.498 --> 26:56.665 Right . Boyd had this thing called the 26:56.665 --> 27:00.599 Boy Trinity people , ideas and things . 27:00.609 --> 27:02.609 Everybody thinks Boyd was a counter 27:02.609 --> 27:06.349 technologist , maybe a little . But 27:06.359 --> 27:09.069 what he was all about were the people 27:09.079 --> 27:11.869 and the ideas . And I think the digital 27:11.880 --> 27:13.880 environment affords this incredible 27:13.880 --> 27:16.810 opportunity to bring capabilities near 27:16.819 --> 27:20.699 real time to our marines , to our 27:20.709 --> 27:23.150 sailors , to our soldiers , to our 27:23.160 --> 27:25.327 airmen , to our guardsmen in order for 27:25.327 --> 27:28.599 them to truly gain , create and gain 27:28.609 --> 27:31.380 the advantage required to be successful . 27:32.380 --> 27:34.880 OK , I I have about three minutes left . 27:34.890 --> 27:37.001 Uh I don't know if there's a question 27:37.001 --> 27:39.168 or we're doing questions and answers . 27:39.168 --> 27:41.334 Uh But , but I'd love to take a couple 27:41.334 --> 27:43.989 here before honorable Sherman steps up . 27:53.400 --> 27:56.900 Sorry , would like to of the 27:56.910 --> 28:00.030 marines . And what so 28:01.119 --> 28:03.859 technical challenges , you hear a bunch 28:03.930 --> 28:05.930 of commercial vendors that can come 28:05.979 --> 28:06.979 here . 28:13.849 --> 28:16.709 So again , uh we've , you know , begun 28:16.719 --> 28:20.089 this journey . We we have our tactical 28:20.099 --> 28:22.439 edge nodes . We we we are setting up 28:22.449 --> 28:24.616 really a command and control structure 28:24.616 --> 28:27.189 ultimately driven around data driven 28:27.199 --> 28:29.199 around the ability to do ubiquitous 28:29.199 --> 28:31.421 transport when and where , you know , I 28:31.421 --> 28:35.339 I mentioned uh assumptions that we made , 28:35.640 --> 28:37.862 right ? DEL denied degrade intermittent 28:37.862 --> 28:40.029 latent environment hopefully I got all 28:40.029 --> 28:42.196 the that right . But at the end of the 28:42.196 --> 28:44.307 day , I think command and control the 28:44.307 --> 28:46.251 electromagnetic spectrum will be a 28:46.251 --> 28:48.420 commander's business . Right . He or 28:48.430 --> 28:50.890 she is going to decide when and where 28:50.900 --> 28:52.844 and how they're gonna admit or not 28:53.020 --> 28:56.640 based on the adversary , I think those 28:56.650 --> 28:58.817 are gonna be choices that commander is 28:58.817 --> 29:00.594 gonna make . So as we build the 29:00.594 --> 29:02.706 capabilities , one , it's got to plug 29:02.706 --> 29:04.817 into the joint force without a shadow 29:04.817 --> 29:06.817 of a doubt , we are partnering with 29:06.817 --> 29:08.890 Indo paycom , obviously in the joint 29:08.900 --> 29:10.956 fires network and what they're doing 29:10.956 --> 29:13.011 and how they're doing in the rest of 29:13.011 --> 29:14.956 our apparatus . We'll cascade from 29:14.956 --> 29:17.122 there , how we're going to take data , 29:17.122 --> 29:19.289 bring it to the edge , how we're going 29:19.289 --> 29:21.456 to fuse , correlate how we're going to 29:21.456 --> 29:23.289 generate outcomes , whether it's 29:23.289 --> 29:25.122 targeting , whether it's sensing 29:25.122 --> 29:27.178 whatever war fighting function we're 29:27.178 --> 29:29.400 talking about is going to be done based 29:29.400 --> 29:28.979 on the placement , access to these 29:28.989 --> 29:30.933 marines . We're deploying maritime 29:30.933 --> 29:32.989 targeting cell expeditionary for the 29:32.989 --> 29:36.469 first time capability that significant 29:36.479 --> 29:38.890 for us . And again , all data driven . 29:39.900 --> 29:41.900 But of course , these teams will be 29:41.900 --> 29:44.979 small . They'll be in awkward places . 29:45.449 --> 29:48.050 They're going to rely on some of those 29:48.060 --> 29:51.719 systems I showed you , but , but they 29:51.729 --> 29:53.810 got to take full advantage of it in 29:53.819 --> 29:56.199 order to generate outcomes . I hope 29:56.209 --> 30:00.020 that helps . Thanks , sir . Ok . 30:00.280 --> 30:02.169 I think we're down to our last 30 30:02.169 --> 30:05.099 seconds . So I'd , I'd meet my time on 30:05.109 --> 30:07.910 target here . All right . Uh Thanks . 30:07.920 --> 30:10.253 Again , for this incredible opportunity . 30:10.253 --> 30:12.420 I , I appreciate all the sponsors in , 30:12.420 --> 30:14.531 in what you do and bringing everybody 30:14.531 --> 30:16.753 together . Uh It , it really matters to 30:16.753 --> 30:18.920 have , have events like this . So with 30:18.920 --> 30:21.031 that , hopefully I warmed them up for 30:21.031 --> 30:23.142 you , sir . And uh and thanks again , 30:23.142 --> 30:24.219 have a great day . God bless .
