Thanks to DISA, the Defense Manpower Data Center DMDC, NETCOM, and our other mission partners, the Army exceeded 500K users on DoD Enterprise Email (EE) this week. In addition, there are nearly 18K users from the Joint Staff, DISA, and U.S. European Command. We are on track to migrate all Army users by March 2013.

The Army must be able to deploy anywhere in the world, with little or no notice, into an austere environment, and quickly become a joint task force. By building out the Joint Information Environment [JIE], we can take a team as small as a five-man squad-up to a division in a corps-and punch them out anywhere in the world and have them immediately connected to the network and their data once they land.
