OUR WORK

The requirements for successfully fighting wars and keeping the peace in the 21st century are rapidly changing. To respond to asymmetric threats and unpredictable adversaries, the Department of Defense (DoD) is undergoing an historic transformation. At the core of this transformation is the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). DISA provides advanced information technology and immediate communications support to the president, vice president, secretary of defense, military services, and combatant commands. From its Arlington, Va., headquarters and through worldwide field activities, DISA offers solutions and enhanced capabilities that enable our customers to make rapid decisions, using real-time information, and to turn these decisions into critical strategic, operational, and tactical actions.

A TRUSTED AGENT WITH UNIQUE ROLES

One of the goals of DoD's transformation is net-centric operations and warfare. DISA is working with combatant commands, military services, and agency partners to build the foundation for this network of the future — the Global Information Grid (GIG).

DISA also supports net-centricity through the Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) Program. When fully operational, NCES will enable
GIG users to access, post, process, use, store, and manage information on demand. DISA has many other critical missions including providing world-class computing services and overseeing the evolution of the existing DoD Command and Control (C2) systems. DISA is also home to the White House Communications Agency, which provides communications support to the president and vice president;
the Defense Spectrum Organization, which develops integrated plans and long-term strategies for DoD spectrum access; and the Defense
Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO), which procures global net-centric capabilities and supports customers through innovative contracting and acquisition logistics.

COMPLEX APPROACHES TO A SIMPLE BOTTOM LINE

U.S. warfighters maintain a global presence and move quickly, often to locations without information technology infrastructure. We know these customers' requirements thoroughly and deliver service to them anywhere, anytime. No matter how complex the challenge or aggressive the goal, DISA remains dedicated to empowering our nation's warfighters with immediate information, tomorrow's technologies, and superior solutions. At the end of the day, we know the bottom line: Our success is measured by whether we enable warfighters to accomplish missions with greater efficiency and fewer casualties.

STRATEGIC VISION AND SUPERIOR VALUES

Information is increasingly a critical military advantage, adding more efficiency and effectiveness to combat power. DISA is evolving and
adapting to meet these rapidly changing needs. As the provider of global net-centric solutions for the Nation's warfighters and all those who support them in the defense of the nation, DISA's people are committed to guaranteeing our forces global information dominance; developing innovative solutions; active listening and partnering to consistently exceed our customers' expectations and working as a team towards a common purpose, in an environment of change, through bonds of integrity, trust and support.
