"Geospatial products are the bedrock of what we do." Director of Intelligence, United States Marine Corps, Brig. Gen. Dimitri Henry, sits down with Geointeresting to discuss national security, cyberwarfare and leadership from his perspective and experience; Henry is the Marine Corps’ top intelligence official whose career spans 36 years.
