CIO: DOD Must Finish JIE Requirements Before Defining Workforce Needs

摘要

The Pentagon is in the early stages of developing requirements for its overarching information technology modernization initiative, which must be finished before specific related workforce requirements can be identified, the Defense Department's acting chief information officer told lawmakers in a new report. In the Aug. 1 report, Terry Halvorsen stated that the department has "validated requirements for the initial set of mission forces who will perform full spectrum cyberspace operations." "However, we are in the early stages of the [Joint Information Environment] requirements development activities that must be completed before we can identify the specific workforce requirements necessary to shift stovepiped service delivery to enterprise solutions," Halvorsen wrote.
