Troy, co-authored the JRIMS Joint Mission Needs Statement Homeland Security Enterprise – Information Sharing with the United States Coast Guard, representing CBP. This document was submitted to the Joint Requirements Council (JRC), adjudicated and awaiting validation. Additionally, Troy has been the Action Officer/Representative for CBP on activities to technically and operationally demonstrate Integrated Maritime Domain Enterprise - Operations and Intelligence Data Node system capabilities in Air and Marine Operations Center (AMOC)’s Air and Marine Operations Surveillance System (AMOSS).

Current capability set fielding along with future fielding 's including Bradley engineering change proposal (ECP), Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD), and full rate production (FRP) radio variants are the Army 's answer to brigade combat team modernization. The tactical environment is the tip of the spear, a challenging space where effectiveness, survivability, and sustainability provide the keys to success. That success is becoming increasingly reliant on data. Data drives our missions, from operations, intelligence, and fires, to other areas such as medical and logistics. Consumption of data is being fueled by the introduction of new communication systems. Warfighter information tactical (WIN-T) has begun to bring this data down to the Brigade and Battalion level with the Point of Presence (POP), and the Battalion and Company level with the Soldier Network Extension (SNE). New radio waveforms are providing conduits for data down to the tactical edge. WIN-T and Handheld, Manpack, and Small Form Fit (HMS) radios are being integrated into Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) vehicle platforms now. The Mid-Tier Networking Vehicular Radio (MNVR) is just around the corner in FY17.

On 22 January 2013, General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff released a white paper describing his vision for the Joint Information Environment (JIE) and how it would support operations in the years to come.1 This mandated transition is driving a reassessment of the most appropriate command and control (C2) structure to conduct operations within the domain. Attempts to achieve a standardized fully interoperable environment will only achieve limited success due to the innate variability and changing nature of technology, exacerbated by service unique capabilities and requirements as well as inconsistent funding. Existing C2 models either fail to address the uniqueness of operations in the cyber domain or otherwise fail to

As the Navy beings its transition to the Joint Information Environment (JIE) and Joint Regional Security Stack (JRSS) implementation and transition, N313 will be tasked WITH tracking and providing oversight of all Navy JIE/JRSS related ASI’s in addition to tracking and coordinating all NMCI maintenance action, DISA and High Frequency Global Communications System (HFGCS) Authorized Service Interruptions (ASI), Periods Of Non Disruptions (PONDS) and associated drafting and tracking TASKORDS/FRAGORDS, Maintenance Moratoriums (MM) and associate TASKORDS/FRAGORDS and waiver actions, and OCONUS Navy Enterprise Network (ONE-Net) Request for Change (RFC) process.

The army utilizes a multitude of systems, these systems assist with daily task and functions that are very critical especially within the HR realm. Being able to understand how each system works makes the job not only easier but allow you to have a broad understanding as well. One thing that a lot of us are lacking is proper knowledge of what we are actually working on.

An Army Information Technology Specialist is someone who is responsible for maintaining, processing, and troubleshooting military computer systems and operations. The job also consists of carrying out other tasks for example, writing, analyzing, editing, testing and modifying computer programs in the Army. I would be in control of transferring data between information processing equipment and systems. Assisting in design, preparation, editing, and testing of computer programs are all examples of responsibilities I would be held accountable for when working

I am in the United States Army, developments in information technology will always force the military to make changes. I know that I only serve in one branch of the military but I’m very positive information technology is one of the main things that will keep the military on its toes because its forever changing and the military must keep up. Information technology is very important in the military; we must stay up on what is going on in the world and ensure that important information doesn’t get into the wrong hands. Since we use information technology daily, any development in that field change the way things are handled in day to day operations. Developments of information technology make the military take efforts to enhance their technical

In today’s society, it has become almost impossible to miss any single piece of information thanks to the continued developments of technology. Just as advancements in technology have shaped American society, the advancements made in the past decade have helped to shape the military’s ability to communicate in more efficient ways. As the U.S. Military has moved from out dated technology, such as the Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) model and the Defense Satellite Communication System (DSCS) satellite communication constellation, to the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) and the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) System, the ability to pass vast amounts of information in real-time is not just a reality, but a way of life.

The evolution of digitised and networking capability within the Australian Army is a multi-staged activity that will affect all aspects of the way Army operates as part of the Joint Force. Digitised systems provide a means to execute command and control from Brigade HQ to the Battle Group (BG) HQ. The provision of enhanced digitised systems will greatly assist the closing of digitisation gaps, in particular for Brigades entering the Readying phase of the FGC and will ensure the effective fulfilment of a Brigade to BG digital backbone.

Operational daily, weekly and monthly matters to include MCRISS-PSR and CGAP matrix was observed and training and assistance provided IOT make the command group more effective.

1. Purpose: To provide information on Total Officer Personnel Management Information System II (TOPMIS II)

DoD’s negligence to collaborate with defense industry partners perpetuates an antiquated process of procuring vital systems for the JF of 2025. Consequently, shortfalls in DoD institutional acquisition process put JF 2025 in jeopardy of delivering vital cost effective capabilities and threatens successful mission execution of the JF.27 For example, DoD’s deliberate acquisition process of information technology (IT) impedes rapid fielding of critical IT support exposing the JF near to mid-term risk.28 Risk mitigation entails, DoD reform of antiquated IT procurement process, drawing on proven commercial (Microsoft) solutions and innovative support services for the JF.29 Declining modernization budgets pose long-term challenge acquisition of IT

Background: Enterprise technology systems are seen as the newest approach in streamlining institutional efficiencies. The Army spent a large sum of money on the Global Combat Support System – Army (GCSS-A) which debuted a few years ago and is still being fielded today to its units.

Program Manager WIN-T (Warrior Information Network-Tactical) provides commanders with the ability to move data across the world and receive real time directions from commanders located within the Continental United States through internet access. Soldiers, to include commanders are now able to further untether themselves from their command post and communicate both on the move or at the halt, further maximizing their time on the ground. However, progressing to such a point has taken years to accomplish. The

Net ready key performance parameter. The DOD Chief Information Officer (CIO) is responsible to ensure that all information technology is capable of interoperability in accordance with federal law; this includes UAS (Koester, Williams, Powers, & Vincent, 2010). Therefore, information technology must be evaluated for interoperability compliance, the evaluation tool is the NRKPP (Koester et al., 2010). UAS must be capable of net-centric military operations; they must be able to enter the network, be managed securely and effectively within that network, capable of data exchange and interoperability (Koester et al., 2010). JCAU supports DOD initiatives
