Your job is to lead the way for our Navy

"Today, these adversaries (terrorists) are operating in ways that challenge our most sophisticated technology and thinking. They have become masters of the information battle space, leveraging this new realm to recruit train, fund, operate and attack. They are not constrained by well established paradigms and thus they have learned to rapidly adapt and respond. We must dominate this new domain and, as Information Warfare Officers, your job is to lead the way for our Navy."
