First some observations.

• Scope of responsibilities have changed
• Information flow is hard to keep up with
• There are not enough resources to do it all
• Some are more actively involved than others
• There are more questions than answers

Success through synchronization and innovation

Every Installation should have a Site Assessment
Working Group

• RCIO Leads
• Participants include DOIMs, ISEC, PMs, ACOMs,
  ACSIM, DPW, Incoming/Current tenants.
• Intended Outcome A single prioritized list of
  all IT requirements and implementation and
  resource strategies for each.
• Installation-focused vs. BRAC-only focused.
• Should augment or replace existing meetings not
  add to them.
• Non-players should be identified to HQDA through
  the RCIOs.

• How do I ensure that my IT requirements and
  issues are captured and addressed?

• How will funding for validated BRAC IT
  requirements be distributed and executed?

12
What is considered a valid BRAC IT requirement?

• Will you be able to meet BRAC law without it?
• Does the requirement exceed what you currently
  use today?
• Will the requirement be addressed by another Army
  program?

If the answer to all is NO, the requirement is
most likely a validated requirement

Prioritization and Synchronization of IT
Requirements Against Funding Availability
PBD 717 Army must fund the delta between BRAC
requirements and available funding

• Telephones
• Land Mobile Radios
• Information Assurance
• Voice Switches
• Data Switches

DOIM Staffing

• IMCOM has an approved DOIM staffing model that
  will be used for projecting requirements for
• Stationing
• Post-Single DOIM Implementation
• Migration of Services to the APCs
• The model does not apply to
• OCONUS IT
• Garrisons with mission-staffed DOIMs (2)
• DOIMs that have undergone A-76 (27)
• IMCOM is in the process of applying the model to
  right-size DOIM TDA manpower requirements
• IMCOM will seek authorizations in the FY 10-15 POM

20
What should I be doing?

• RCIOs leading the formation of Site Assessment
  Working Groups, disseminating guidance,
  coordinating and elevating issues.
• DOIMs organizing and scheduling Site Assessment
  Working Groups with current and incoming tenants,
  developing plans to synchronize IT initiatives.
• ACOMs participating in Site Assessment Working
  Groups, ensuring subordinate organization
  participation, identifying command priorities.

Conclusions

• Army Stationing has greatly increased everyones
  scope of responsibilities and the flow of
  information.
• Proper coordination and synchronization of key
  activities are the keys to success
• Your participation in the Site Assessment Working
  Groups is critical to ensure your requirements
  are captured and addressed.
• ISEC must receive your requirements or they are
  not captured in the BRAC IT Spend Plan.
• Reference the I3 Master Plan to remain cognizant
  of Army program priorities.
