Does cyber require unique approaches to talent manage to ensure the US military can recruit, promote, and retain the talent it needs?

This episode addreses those questions as John Amble is joined by Maggie Smith, an Army officer and codirector of Project Cyber at the Irreegular Warfare Initiative, and Dr. Erica Lonergan, an assistant professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.
