ARLINGTON, Va., April 9, 2008 – Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Director Lt Gen Charles E. Croom Jr. will host a ground-breaking ceremony for the agency’s new headquarters facility at Ft. Meade, Md., on April 16.

The ceremony marks the start of construction and the beginning of what we expect to be a long and productive relationship between DISA, Ft. Meade, and the surrounding  Maryland communities.

Media interested in attending this event must be escorted by a public affairs representative. To coordinate your visit, please contact the Fort Meade Public Affairs Office, Jennifer Downing at (301) 677-1486 or Summer Barkley at (301) 677-1436, no later than Monday, April 14 at noon.  Entry into Ft.
