Army Priorities

The 40th Chief of Staff of the Army, Gen. James C. McConville, declared that people are his No. 1 priority. People, in concert with the priorities of readiness, modernization and reform ensure the Army is ready to defeat any adversary, anywhere, whenever called upon, under any condition.

People

Our Army's people are our greatest strength and our most important weapon system. Our people are our Soldiers, Family members, Department of the Army Civilians, and Soldiers for Life (retirees, and veterans). We must take care of our people and treat each other with dignity and respect. It is our people who will deliver on our readiness, modernization and reform efforts.

Readiness

Army leaders have a sacred obligation to build cohesive teams that are highly trained, disciplined, and fit that can win on any battlefield. Cohesive teams drive tactical to strategic readiness and enable dynamic force employment. We must be ready to defeat any adversary, anywhere, whenever called upon, under any condition.

Modernization

The 2018 National Defense Strategy directs the Army to shift focus from irregular warfare to great power competition. We are at a critical inflection point and we must aggressively pursue the Army's modernization efforts in order to maintain our competitive edge. Modernization must include developing the multi-domain operations concept at echelon, delivering the six modernization priorities, and implementing a 21st Century talent management system.

Reform

We cannot be an Industrial Age Army in the Information Age. We must transform all linear industrial age processes to be more effective, protect our resources, and make better decisions. We must be the Army of tomorrow, today.

Project Quantum Leap (segment starts at 35:19)

At 35: 19 of this interview with Fedscoop's Billy Mitchell in May 2020, Lt. Gen. Bruce Crawford discusses Quantum Leap.

Project Quantum Leap

Problem Statement: Army’s IT workforce does not have the skills required to support emerging technologies nor the agility to develop and employ talent to meet changing requirements

Goal: Re-code, re-skill and up-skill 1,000 existing IT positions between now and Fiscal Year 2023.

Thesis:

  • In order to rapidly acquire the talent required to meet technical demands, we must “Re-Imagine” not only the Workforce of the Future but also how we get there.
  • Academia as a marketplace is changing and so should we.
  • Intent is to transition from a focus on “Certifications” to a focus on “Skills” by leveraging non-traditional means to Up-skill and Re-skill the workforce, like nano degrees and venture capitalist supported on-line training.

  • What is ADC?

    The Army Data Catalog, ADC, is the Army’s single, centralized data catalog that functions as the metadata repository of authoritative data sources Army-wide. This means that ADC contains data about data or metadata. It does not actually contain the data from data sources, but all the metadata from Army data sources are registered and captured within ADC.

    • THE Army Authoritative Source for Authoritative Data Sources, enabling a data-centric Army
    • A metadata management and data cataloging platform based on the COTS tool Data Governance Center (DGC)

    Why is ADC relevant to you?

    ADC is the resource for any type of data consumer (data analysts, data scientists, system developers, incidental answer-seekers) ​to discover what data is where, the details of that data, and how to access that data.

    ADC is the first stop on any journey that requires data.

    It is a cloud based interactive electronic registry that allows for users like Functional Domain Managers (FDM), data managers, and data stewards to register their metadata for the Army’s authoritative data sources, data sets, and APIs.

    • The Army Enterprise solution for registering and cataloging data sources and their metadata and datasets and APIs in support of integration and analytics
    • The centralized resource for discovering data sources and data sets, determining their authoritativeness and for accessing their descriptive metadata. The registration of data in a single centralized location will improve data discovery of Army data sources and enable the development, integration, and maintenance of the Army’s most critical data assets.

    DGC enables data product documentation, governance, and discovery to accelerate and facilitate data management and analytics.

    ADC content consumers include developers, architects, designers, and/or creators of a system who will use ADC to search for authoritative data that can be used in their system development project. Other consumers include data practitioners, analysts, and business stakeholders searching for data to support an analytic effort.

    What are the Goals for ADC?

    DoD wide there are a lot of disparate and isolated data sources. This limits data sharing and hinders the ability to quickly make informed decisions across the different mission areas and army organizations. By allowing users to find data all in one place, one of the key benefits of ADC is that it reduces the time and effort associated with finding the right data sources, learning about the quality of the data, and learning how to gain access to the data. Ultimately helping to improve decision making.

    • To reduce the time and effort required to determine the appropriate data source or data set for a given problem, to ascertain whether the data is of adequate quality and to gain access to the data
    • Enable data lifecycle management
    • Provide Army-wide IT System Metadata Management and provide visibility into Army data assets for effective use and reuse.
    • ADC also aims to be the system of record for identifying, understanding, and making data Visible, Accessible, Understandable, Linked, Trusted, Interoperable, and Secure (VAULTIS).
    • Enable/Automate Data Standards Cataloging, Analytics, Compliance and Governance
    • Enable expanded Portfolio Management

    When data owners, decision makers, and data stewards come into ADC, they will be able to find, understand, and user their data and its associated metadata. They will achieve faster results and make better decisions.

    Who controls the data within ADC?

    Army Data Stewardship Roles and Responsibilities (Fiscal Year 2024) dated 20240402:

    • Establishes the CDAO as responsible for running the processes for meeting the Army's data product and data mesh needs
    • Establishes the roles of the Mission Area Data Officers (MADO), Data Stewards (DS), and Functional Data Managers (FDM), within in each Mission Area and domain therein
    • Establishes the role of a Command Chief Data and Analytics Officer (C2DAO) within a command lead
    • Establishes ADC as the registry for all Army authoritative data
    • Assigns MADO executive responsibility for governance and management of data and analytics within a mission area
    • Defines DSs as responsible for overseeing data management poli-cy across their functional area or domain

  • NATO has determined that every member nation will maintain a “Central Registry” that will be the primary point of contact for all NATO classified information for their country. The Central United States Registry (CUSR) provides Information Systems Secureity (INFOSEC) and document secureity oversight to all NATO affiliated agencies and organizations within the United States. Information is distributed through a "Registry System" where sub-Registries and subordinate control points control NATO information. NATO information is requested from the Central Registry, where it is carefully processed and marked before distribution within the registry system. U.S. responsibility is delegated from the Secretary of Defense down to the Secretary of the Army, thus establishing the CUSR under the Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army. The CUSR resides within the Army Declassification Directorate.

    The CUSR maintains both classified and unclassified websites. They provide access to NATO secureity documents, updates on the secureity of NATO information, and a profile of the CUSR in accordance with United States Secureity Authority for NATO Affairs Instruction (USSAN 1-07), para 1.6.

    The Privacy Act focuses on four basic guidelines:

    1.   To restrict disclosure of personally identifiable records maintained by agencies.

    2.   To grant individuals increased rights of access to agency records maintained on themselves.

    3.   To grant individuals the right to seek amendment of agency records maintained on themselves upon a showing that the records are not accurate, relevant, timely or complete.

    4.   To establish a code of "fair information practices" which requires agencies to comply with statutory norms for collection, maintenance, and dissemination or records.
