Introduction Task from the Army CIO/G-6 500-Day Strategic Goal 6: “Deliver an integrated enterprise strategy that influences Joint and Army use of Information Management and Information technology in furthering the warfighting capabilities.” 4

Evolution of Battle Command Scope Intelligence Cross BOS KM From Information to Intelligence! BOS based KM LTG Vines, XVIII Corps CoS Net Centric Approach Common Map Display OIF1 OIF2 OIF3 Time Examples: MSR Evaluation: Three primary MSRs in Iraq. Provide a tool that would consider time of day, week and month and provide analysis of a planned trip by MSR showing percent chance of incident based on historical data. Incident Best Response: Typical responses are used to respond to critical incidents. These responses have various measures of success and the success differs based on location. When a critical incident occurs, provide a list of responses along with their success percentage for that location. 5

Adapting to Technology and Requirement Change Capabilities 1. Align with Industry best practices and standards Capability Convergence Graph 2. Adopt proven solutions & migrate from there (CPoF, JADOCS, JIOC-I) Web Services Network Mature 4 3 ABCS 6.4 BCCS IMF 3. Use “Best of Breed” Web technologies with an Open Controlled Source process to enable cross development between Units and PEO C3T 2 MS .NET 4.

CIO G6 – Interim Guidance on Microsoft Directory Services Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Authentication and authorization service Synchronized Global Address List Centralized management of servers and client computers Centralized administration of users and computers Centralized management of network resources Directory services for applications Forest: When one or more domains share a directory structure thus enabling centralized management of accounts, resources and security. XX Every unit is self supporting Guidance Overview Generating Force SIPRNET AD Architecture: One Forest for Theater, one additional Enterprise Application forest (PEO EIS) Deployable Force NIPRNET and SIPRNET AD Architecture: Separate Forests for each UEy, UEx, BCT, and selected UAs (PEO C3T – develop system arch & create plan) Enterprise Directory Service (EDS) will provide the foundation for communication and integration across AD forests. (PEO EIS in coordination with PEO C3T) Provisioning solution to support moving users and services between forests 8
