Message from the Director of the DoD M&SCO
Mr. Jesse Citizen
Mr. Jesse Citizen

Greetings! Thank you for your interest in the DoD Modeling and Simulation Coordination Office (M&SCO) -the focal point for the Department's modeling and simulation activities. M&SCO continuously strives to foster relationships with M&S stakeholders and partner with the Federal government, industry, academia, and international defense agencies. Through our partnerships, we champion and promote interoperability and reuse of M&S through the creation and coordination of policy/guidance, tools, and standards.

I'm excited to say we recently published a significant policy document: DoD Instruction 5000.70 (Management of DoD Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Activities). This document establishes M&SCO as the focal point for coordinating all matters related to DoD M&S, with the advice and recommendation of the M&S Steering Committee (M&S SC), and as the Secretariat for the M&S SC.

Our pledge is to continue to update you with information about enterprise-level M&S tools, data, and services. We want to ensure we provide you with current information about the state of the DoD M&S enterprise. In addition, we intend to provide both users and developers who have access to M&S tools and data--, with information that will assist you with your M&S tasks. Such tools include the Verification Validation, and Accreditation Recommended Practices Guide (VV&A RPG); and Component and Community resources. Please be sure to take a look at our updated M&SCO Description for detailed information about our organization.

Thanks again for visiting our site. If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas for improvement about our content, please contact us at AskMSCO.
