  1. Lt. Gen. Mary Legere New Capabilities in Response to a Changing World Lt. Gen. Mary Legere

  2. Lt. Gen. Mary Legere has more than thirty years of service to her country as a member of the United States Army. As the Deputy Chief of Staff for Army Intelligence, she is among the most powerful women in U.S. defense intelligence history. Lt. Gen. Mary Legere

  3. A graduate of the University of New Hampshire, Army Command and General Staff College and U.S. Army War College, Legere served as the Army’s senior representative to the US Intelligence Community and was responsible for overseeing the readiness, modernization and transformation of the Army’s 58,000-person intelligence Corps. Lt. Gen. Mary Legere

  4. “In this role, I was responsible for driving the transformation of the Intelligence Corps as we transitioned from a focus on operations in Afghanistan and Iraq toward refitting our systems, training and operations to meet the emerging threats confronting our globally engaged and regionally aligned forces around the globe.” Lt. Gen. Mary Legere

  5. “Among our most critical initiatives right now are our efforts to expand our Human Intelligence, Offensive Cyber, Open Source and Insider Threat Capabilities in order to increase the Army and Department of Defenses capacity and global coverage,” Legere explained. Lt. Gen. Mary Legere

  6. “Increasing our support to cyber operations is probably the most time-sensitive right now”, admitted Legere. The explosion of information technology and rise of state and non-state cyber actors has left the United States vulnerable to disruptive and destructive attacks that threaten our ability to operate effectively in cyberspace.” “The Army, like the rest of the Defense Department, is committed to developing its cyber forces and strengthening its cyber defense deterrence capabilities.” Lt. Gen. Mary Legere

  7. As the Army’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Lt. Gen. Mary Legere partnered with the Army staff, the Army’s Cyber Command, Chief Information Officer and Acquisition Community to design, build and expand the Army’s cyber forces. “While much work remains’, Legere noted, “we are off to a great start.” Lt. Gen. Mary Legere

  8. “The talent we are attracting to the Cyber force is the very best, as it must be, in order to meet the challenge of the environment. These soldiers must have the skills, expertise and resilience to characterize the threat, to understand the cyber environment, and to build both defensive and offensive capabilities to protect our freedom of maneuver in cyberspace, while denying that same capability to adversaries who wish to harm us.” Lt. Gen. Mary Legere
