Certainly this can’t all be correct. Corrections welcome.

I was wondering when Mr. Carey’s career mobility would be explained.

This is a facet of information warfare I hadn't considered. I wonder how our allies look. If information dominance is what we’re after, maybe we should go sit at the knee of the pros and take good notes.

When I read about the NMCI many years ago, it did not seem possible that subordinating military organizational effectiveness to limiting service level agreements and corporate private property (where the penalty for catastrophic failure is a temporary hit on the [EDS-sized] profit margin) could possibly be the right thing to do where national security work is involved.

Is it? ]]> Cyber CivIAIP http://www.informationwarriors.net/showthread.php?t=652 http://www.informationwarriors.net/showthread.php?t=649&goto=newpost Fri, 27 Aug 2010 22:12:00 GMT Thought I would pass this along to everyone.

CyberCIEGE enhances information assurance and cyber security education and training through the use of computer gaming techniques such as those employed in SimCity™. In the CyberCIEGE virtual world, users spend virtual money to operate and defend their networks, and can watch the consequences of their choices, while under attack.

Development and Availability
Development of CyberCIEGE was sponsored by the US Navy, the Naval Education and Training Command, the Office of Naval Research, the Biometrics Task Force, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Numerous NPS students have participated in tool and scenario development.

The following information is provided to assist eligible members in preparing their records for this import milestone event. Your record represents you and your accomplishments as an IDC officer, so it’s in your best interest to ensure it is an accurate reflection of your performance.

Also, a picture in your current rank is also a required part of your service record.

Just a thought - I would recommend to the moderators of this site to liaison with with PERS-47 (Info Dominance Corps) to get a hot link from the NPC site to this site. I think this would definitely open the aperture to the target audience of this board, as well as the increase the traffic between each site.

For example: the SWO community was notoriously stingy about passing information until they embraced the new social media revolution... now the latest updates in the SWO world are pushed via Facebook, SailorBob.com, Twitter, etc.

It would seem that if anyone should be able to get "information dissemination" right, it would be the communities in the Information Dominance Corps... :rolleyes:
