GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. The Deputy Commandant for Information (DC I) takes pleasure in announcing the winning team of the April 2022 Marine Corps Cyber Games.
2. Background. From 4-8 April 2022, DC I hosted a remote, Service-wide Capture the Flag competition. Participation in this event was open to Marines and DoD Civilians from across the Cyber Mission Force and the three Marine Expeditionary Forces. Teams competed in a simulated contested environment and were given thirteen hours over a two-day period to attain cyber flags of varying levels of difficulty ranging from Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master. This evolution of the Marine Corps Cyber Games was the first to focus on defensive, rather than offensive, cyber skills.
2.a. Five teams participated in the competition from the following units: Marine Corps Cyberspace Operations Group, I Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), III MEF, 8th Communications Battalion, and Marine Forces Special Operations Command.
2.b. The winning team was I MEF (America's DCO-IDM Company) with a final score of 3690 points. The following Marines were members of the winning team: SSgt Keith Wolf, Sgt Robert Gerber,Sgt Menkarahet Gamble, Cpl Austin Boyd, Cpl Ian Bergman, LCpl Noah Brandstetter, LCpl Thomas Feuborn, LCpl Charles Grubs,LCpl Bejamin Patten, abd LCpl Sunjeev Shaik. Congratulations to each of you for a job well done,
