MARFORCYBER Marine Corps 237th Birthday Ball

I had the privilege to attend the very first MARFORCYBER Marine Corps 237th Birthday Ball in Baltimore, MD. The event was rich in tradition and Marine history. It is customary at Marine Corps birthday celebrations worldwide to cut and share a traditional cake in celebration of the birth of our illustrious Corps.
The United States Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command is a functional formation of the United States Marine Corps to protect critical infrastructure from cyberwarfare.  It comprises a command element, the Marine Corps Network Operations Security Center, and a company from the Marine Corps Cryptologic Support Battalion, a total of approximately 800 dedicated personnel.
Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command is an example of discipline and organizational cyber capabilities within the DoD. Congratulations to MARFORCYBER for leading the way in the protection of our national security!
