The Marine Corps Tactical Service Orientated Architecture will allow users to request and share mission-critical information on-demand. TSOA is a software platform that will be installed in combat operation centers, allowing for the sharing of data between COCs across the Corps. This removes the need to depend on multiple independent tactical data systems, which are not always compatible. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl.

Marines with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit set up network communications aboard the USS Boxer during an integration exercise in 2015. The Marine Corps is developing a fully unified command and control construct, integrating cyber and IT capability development processes and streamlining IT acquisition and procurement processes. These improvements will provide more responsive and effective support to the operational force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Staff Sgt. Terika S.

U.S. and Republic of Korea Marines work together to set up a Secure Communications Controller at the 2014 Ssang Yong exercise in Pohang, Republic of Korea. Marine Corps Systems Command is in the last stages of development of the SCC, which crosslinks incompatible radio and digital systems, making communication possible between U.S. and foreign military forces, governmental and non-governmental agencies, and among different Marine Corps radios.
