The Army of the Future

Implementing plan to Regionally Align Forces to better support Combatant

Commanders.

Adapting to the Strategic Environment by prioritizing leader development and

leveraging technology to empower the Soldier.

Reducing end strength and optimizing the force structure

mix while remaining engaged in Afghanistan and adapting to

meet the demands of the Defense Strategy.

Our Nation’s Joint Force must operate in a complex and dangerous physical, cultural and information

environment, while balancing readiness requirements and limited resources.

The Army will be optimized for a broader range of missions in support of the Joint Force.

The Army of the Future is Stronger We Start from a Position of Strength with an Army of Combat Proven Leaders

Adapting Readiness and Training Models to better prepare units to operate in complex environments.

Empowered

Soldiers &

Squads,

connected to the

network in

vehicles that

increase mobility

and lethality while

retaining

survivability.

The future environment requires an agile, ready Army – a precision force, capable of

rapid, scalable global engagement in support of National Defense Strategy.

If We Do This, This Is What We’ll Get

Retain Our Technological Overmatch

The Ability to Rapidly, Globally Exchange Information in a Secure Environment

Connect Our Forces at All Echelons

“The Army has global responsibilities that require large technological advantages to prevail decisively in combat –

“technological overmatch,” if you will… Modernizing, especially as end strength is reduced, is the key to ensuring that the Army’s dominance continues. As I reflect upon the pace of technological change in today’s modern world and the impact of rapid, global

information exchange upon our overall security environment, I am both inspired and encouraged by the Army’s approach to building a network able to connect our forces at all echelons. This remains

our number one modernization priority.”

A Modernized LandWarNet Will Meet These Challenges

– GEN Ray Odierno, Chief of Staff of the Army, “Army Live” Blog, 7 August 2012

We Must Train as We Fight

Deploy Little to No Notice Anytime, Anywhere in Austere Environments

Installations as a Docking Station

Modernized From Strategic Core to the Tactical Edge

Single Secure Network

Incorporate Echelons Above Army Requirements

Centralized Management and Decentralized Execution

The Network is Core to a Smaller, More Capable, Better Trained Expeditionary Army

Some of Army’s Current Mobile Efforts

Enterprise Email – Not about Email • Providing Network Access Anywhere, Anytime through a Single Identity

• Over 900K Joint and Army Users Migrated

Data Center Consolidation – Not about Data Centers • Storing and Accessing Data & Applications Securely from the Cloud

• 84 Closed to Date; on Target to Close 185 by FY15

Installation as a Docking Station – Not Just about Installations • Enabling a Standard End-user Experience for Train as We fight and Fight

Upon Arrival Capability

BYOD Pilot – Kicked Off July 2012 • Army is Helping Lead the DoD & DISA Pilot Allowing Government Workers

to Use Their Personal Mobile Devices for UNCLASSIFIED/FOUO Work

Mobility is More than Devices; Its Giving the Right Person Access to the Right Information Anywhere, Anytime



Army Mobile Vision 2013-2015

Affordable, Adaptable and Agile Mobile IT Enterprise

“Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD)

Device-Agnostic Architecture (Common Computing Platform)

Enterprise Mobile Device and Application Management

Enhanced Situational Awareness/Command and Control

Bridge to Next-Generation IT (i.e., Cloud Computing, Unified Capabilities, Everything Over IP, Thin Clients)



Takeaways

Army is Aligned with DoD Mobility Strategy and the Joint Information Environment

Biggest Challenge is Getting There Fast Enough

• Two-Factor Authentication is a Must

• Device-Agnostic Architecture Still Maturing – JIE is Foundational

• Funding Constraints

Cyber Security is an Enterprise Problem that Requires an Enterprise Solution

When You Behave as an Enterprise – You Architect as an Enterprise –and You Create an Infrastructure that is Inherently Less Vulnerable

Need True Enterprise Visibility and Management of Users, Mobile Devices, and Applications

BACKUPS



Current Network Threats

Ease of Use is Valued Over Security

Vulnerabilities are Widespread

Attacks are Cheap & Easy

Apps Available at Low or No Cost

Minimal Technical Experience Required

Mobile Landscape

Multiple Points of Interception

• Communication & Data Centers/Towers

• Towers, Wireless & Wireline

Over-the-Air Updates

Rogue Base Stations

Infrastructure Threat

Unaware of Potential Threats

Susceptible to Social Engineering

Bypassing “Inconvenient” Security

Insider Threat, Leaks and Sabotage

User Threat



DoD Mobile End-to-End Vision

Commercial Mobile Devices – Pre-Approved & Authorized Device List for DoD DoD Mobile Application Storefront – Pre-Approved Apps From Across DoD ID/Credential – DoD-Wide Identity Management Creates Interoperability Mobility Gateway – Applications & Devices Authorized and Ready to Connect to Wireless Carriers – Standardized Service Plans Simplify Startup DoD Enterprise Capabilities – Voice, Video, Email, Data

Bottom Line: New Mission-Specific Capabilities are More Agile and Quick to Develop Because Standard Infrastructure is Available
