Leadership
[
edit
]
The Cyber Auxiliary is managed by
LtGen Matthew G. Glavy
, the Marine Corps Deputy Commandant for Information.
Role
[
edit
]
The role of the Cyber Auxiliary is to "assist in simulated environments" with Marines; members are not authorized to carry out "hands-on cyber activities" (e.g.
cyberwarfare
or
cybersecurity
operations).
[1]
Members of the Cyber Auxiliary will only be civilians or veterans, not members of the Marine Corps. However, they will serve to strengthen the Marine Corps' posture in the era of
information warfare
.
This effort should not be confused with the new paid employee program "Cyber Force".
