It is how word is passed and how Marines pass time after hurrying up to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But against a sophisticated enemy, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2018\/01\/29\/dod-reviewing-stravas-global-heat-map\/\" target=_blank> signals<\/a> given off by cellphones could give away a unit\u2019s position and cause them to be targeted by long-range weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When 3,500 paratroopers with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2020\/01\/23\/deployed-82nd-airborne-unit-told-to-use-these-encrypted-messaging-apps-on-government-cellphones\/\" target=_blank>82nd Airborne Division <\/a>deployed to the Middle East in early 2020 as tensions rose between Iran and the U.S., the soldiers were barred from bringing their cellphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marine Corps likely would copy in future deployments, Lt. Gen. Brain Beaudreault, commander of II Marine Expeditionary Force, told reporters Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will put out a MEF order on an actual deployment that provides absolute control,\u201d the commander said while discussing the MEF level exercise his unit just completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/off-duty\/military-culture\/2020\/01\/08\/for-the-love-of-opsec-put-away-your-phone\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/on-the-phone.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">For the love of OPSEC, put your phone away<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Lectures of personal electronics use and operational security continue to fall on deaf ears.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCommanders have the authority to develop policies that address the use of portable electronic devices (PED), which includes personal PEDs that could adversely affect mission execution,\u201d Capt. Joseph Butterfield, a spokesman for Headquarters Marine Corps, told Marine Corps Times Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise simulated an attack from a \u201cnear-peer\u201d adversary against an ally in Northern Europe, Beaudreault said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A large part of the exercise was avoiding detection by the enemy by using distributed operations and hiding the electronic signals a large modern force is bound to be emitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the exercise cellphones were banned within the operating space as the MEF attempted to avoid detection by the near-peer, Beaudreault said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe can absolutely crack down,\u201d the commander said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s harder to do than say, but it requires discipline and it requires education and understanding that this is no joke when we\u2019re facing a peer adversary who\u2019s looking for those exact signals,\u201d Beaudreault added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018 the military <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2018\/08\/06\/devices-and-apps-that-rely-on-geolocation-restricted-for-deployed-troops\/\" target=_blank>banned Fitbits<\/a> and other
