On October 18, the Department of Defense released the DOD Space Policy Directive. This Directive reissues DoD Directive (DoDD) 3100.10 (Reference (a)) to update established DoD space policy and assigned DoD responsibilities for space-related activities in accordance with the National Space Policy, Presidential Policy Directive-4 (Reference (b)) and the National Security Space Strategy (Reference (c)). It addresses comprehensively the challenges posed in an increasingly congested, contested, and competitive space domain.

The Defense Information Systems Agency was the proud recipient of two of this year's Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Information Officer (CIO) Awards at ceremony held at the Pentagon Oct. 19. Miyi Chung, the deputy commander and technical director at the DISA Pacific Korea Field Office won the first place award in the individual category. The White House Communications Agency (WHCA) Cyber Operations Team won second place in the team category. The DoD CIO award is the Department's highest recognition for outstanding achievement in information management, information technology, information resource management, information assurance, and cyber security (IM/IT/IRM/IA/CS) achievements by government civilian and military teams and individuals. "This is the premier event from the DoD CIO perspective," said Teri Takai, the DoD CIO. Takai emphasized the growing importance of information technology and cyber security and expressed appreciation and thanks to all those working in support of the warfighters. "When talking about our warfighters, there is nothing more important than communications," she said. The DoD CIO received 102 nominations from around the world, representing hundreds of IM/IT/IRM/IA/CS professionals in DoD. Only 10 nominations were selected as finalists — five in the team category and five in the individual category. Nominations were judged according to their information delivery and dissemination, management efficiency and effectiveness, cost avoidance and savings, a broad user base, processes, net-centricity, and mission."
