    Director of Intelligence, United States Marine Corps, Brig. Gen. Dimitri Henry, sits down with Geointeresting to discuss national security, cyberwarfare and leadership from his perspective and experience; Henry is the Marine Corps’ top intelligence official whose career spans 36 years.

    “I have had NGA representatives on all my deployments, NGA has always been a part of [what] Marines have done, and their [NGA] products are things you can see,” said Henry, during NGA's Marine Corps birthday celebration Nov.7 at the Springfield, Virginia campus.
    “I can tell you, a grunt or a pilot would rather have a map to be ‘shown the way’.”

  • Episode 23: Vint Cerf - Innovator, risk taker, Internet pioneer
    Vint Cerf, one of the “fathers of the Internet” discusses his role in its creation and the impact it has had on the world.
    In the late 1960s Vint Cerf was part of the team that developed the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, or ARPANet. It continued to expand due to the creation of the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, or TCP/IP, which sets standards for how data could be transmitted between multiple networks.
    In 1983, ARPANET adopted TCP/IP and a network of networks was created that became the modern Internet.
    Cerf sat down with Geointeresting to share his experience as both a government and a tech industry employee and offer insight on why taking risks and sharing information is vital to success.
