/PRNewswire/ -- The Defense Information Systems Agency released its
new strategic plan today, aligning the agency's priorities with the
Department of Defense's goals and objectives for global operations
through fiscal years 2025-2029.
"We must continue to deliver while being
challenged by great powers."
Referred to as the DISA Next Strategy, the new strategic
framework identifies a suite of capabilities and services the
agency must deliver to transform the DOD's information network and
meet the challenges described in the National Defense
Strategy.
Air Force Lt. Gen. Robert J.
Skinner, DISA director and Joint Force
Headquarters-Department of Defense Information Network commander,
says in the strategy, "As a combat support agency and the premier
IT service provider for the Department of Defense, we will continue
to provide world-class services. At the same time, we are changing.
We are re-organizing, optimizing and transforming to deliver
resilient, survivable and secure capabilities to enable department
success and warfighter lethality."
DISA remains focused on several department-wide,
enterprise-level solutions, including simplifying the network with
large-scale adoption of a common IT environment, developing a fully
functional DOD enterprise cloud environment, and integrating its
Identity, Credential and Access Management and Zero Trust
capabilities within its common IT and cloud environment.
The strategy includes four strategic imperatives, six
operational imperatives, and eight goals –- all crucial to DISA's
core functions that guide the agency's support to the warfighter
and mission partners.
"We must continue to deliver while being challenged by great
powers. From great power competition with the People's Republic of China, to supporting
operations in emerging geographic areas of national strategic
importance, both home and abroad," Skinner says in the
strategy.
The plan's goals and objectives align with those the DOD has set
for global operations over the next five years and coincide with
the department's process used to budget appropriated funds also
known as the Program Objective Memorandum, or POM. In turn, the
strategy will aid leadership, industry partners and the DOD's
ability to make informed decisions and allocate resources
effectively to achieve organizational stability.
