LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. –
Timothy Thomas, Foreign Military Studies senior analyst, Fort Leavenworth, Kan., spoke at Jacobs Theater Dec. 1, discussing information warfare and operations of the United States and some foreign governments.
As nations such as China and Russia attempt to bolster their informational and technological capabilities by closely scrutinizing U.S. information operations, the United States has been watching these countries, trying to minimize, if not squander these attempts.
"I came to Fort Eustis to speak to the local intelligence communities and to educate people on China and Russia's growing computer warfare capabilities," said Thomas. "These countries have studied our wartime experiences and strategies and have been applying what they've learned about our military in their training exercises," Thomas added.
The audience seemed to be intrigued by the facts that Thomas was presenting during his lecture.
"This briefing confirmed my suspicions that the Chinese government maintains tight control over its society," said Mark Stephens, Zone Tech for the Network Enterprise Center service desk at Fort Eustis. "They seem to gloss over their anti-U.S. stance with these relations that they present to the media just because they want to sell their stuff in the U.S."
Thomas has written several fact-based books over the last decade about foreign military operations, strategies, as well as their governmental and societal technological advances, and you can find a few of them on various online stores.
