Hey, this is John Ambo, editorial director at MWI, and what you're about to listen to is a special episode.

It's actually the first episode in a new series called Control Alt Army.

That series is hosted by Dr. Michael Sulmeyer, who serves as the principal cyber advisor to the Secretary of the Army,

and we're thrilled to partner with the team in his office at the Pentagon to bring this fascinating series of conversations to you. As you can imagine from his job title, the podcast is about cyber issues, but it isn't

for just cyber specialists. Dr. Seulmire speaks to army leaders from a wide range of professional

backgrounds to explore how cyber increasingly affects almost everything we do in the army. In each of the eight episodes to come, they'll be released once a week starting today.

You'll hear a really interesting conversation with a different army leader.

You can listen as they reflect on their careers, discuss how cyber issues impact the

functioning of their units and teams, and explore specific topics within the cyber field.

The first episode, which you'll hear in just a

moment, is Dr. Seulmeyer's discussion with Lieutenant General Chris Donahue. I've listened to it,

of course, but I've also had the chance to hear some of the episodes to come as well, and I can tell

you that as a non-cyber specialist myself, I found them really interesting and insightful.

If you want to hear all eight episodes as they're released,

search for Control Alt Army on your favorite podcast app. There's also a link to subscribe on

Apple Podcasts in the description of this episode. And really quick, before we get to the discussion,

as always, I want to extend a special thanks to the West Point Class of 1974 for their very

generous support to MWI.

All right, I hope you enjoy the first episode of Control Alt Army.

Greetings and welcome to Control Alt Army.

Stories from Cyberspace.

I'm your host, Michael Solmeyer, the principal cyber advisor
