GUIDING PRINCIPLES

PRINT PAGE Add This

The DISA Campaign Plan defines our mission, vision, and objectives and illustrates our roadmap for success. This plan guides the allocation of our resources and the execution of critical investment decisions. The actions and tasks within this plan provide the basis upon which we set performance measurement goals and continuously assess our progress. It is a living document. As the goals of the Department evolve, we will adjust our direction and update the plan annually.

The Campaign Plan is also the foundation of our planning, Program Objective Memorandum (POM), and budget, which are inextricably linked. Each responsible organization will make the successful execution of the Campaign Plan tasks their top priority within the performance of their basic missions. The planned actions and tasks will be executed to the degree resources are available. In those areas where resources are not presently available, the DISA Strategic Planning and Information Directorate and the DISA Comptroller will work with the responsible organizations to develop funding strategies, as appropriate, to ensure alignment with the Agency’s ongoing and emerging priorities.

As in the 2010 Campaign Plan, we are organized into three Lines of Operation (Enterprise Infrastructure; Command and Control and Information Sharing; and Operate and Assure) and nine Joint Enablers (Acquisition; Contracting; Engineering; Information, Knowledge Management, and Process Improvement; People; Planning; Resources;Spectrum; and Testing). The Lines of Operation and Joint Enablers provide the framework for planning and budgeting, set our priorities, and describe the ways and means by which we will attain our strategic objectives. Underpinning our way ahead and fundamental to all that we do are the following seven guiding principles.

 

  1. OUR MISSION AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE GLOBAL.
    DISA is required to provide information at Internet speed with available and emerging technologies, such that anyone who can connect to the network can provide and consume data and services anywhere on the network globally.
  2. OUR ENTERPRISE SUPPORTS THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT AND ITS MISSION PARTNERS.
    Over the decades, DISA has been engaged in every mission the Department has undertaken. These engagements have become increasingly interagency and international, and our partnerships have increased to reflect this.
  3. WE MUST SUPPORT THE FULL SPECTRUM OF OPERATIONS.
    The capabilities and services we provide support information sharing and facilitate decisionmaking no matter the challenges faced and no matter where the information is located or sourced.
  4. WE OPERATE IN A CONTESTED BATTLE SPACE.
    Mission success is dependent upon our ability to fight through a concentrated attack while reducing the attack surface, continually improving our command and control of the network, and assuring safe sharing of information.
  5. WE PROVIDE INTEGRATED, INTEROPERABLE, ASSURED INFRASTRUCTURE, CAPABILITIES, AND SERVICES THAT RECOGNIZE THE ENTERPRISE BEGINS AT THE EDGE.
    The edge is where any individual or system associated with defense of our Nation is located, and we are committed to the user wherever on the globe the user operates.
  6. OUR GOAL IS TO ENABLE AND ENSURE END-TO-END SERVICE.
    We and our mission partners are engaged from user to user – from wherever information is produced to where it is consumed.
  7. THE DISA ENTERPRISE MUST BE ALWAYS-ON.
    The capabilities and services DISA provides are expected to be on and available to users 24x7x365.
