The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is the principal adviser to the United States Secretary of the Army on information resource management. Created from the Army Chief Information Officer/G-6, an office which reports both to the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff of the United States Army. The roles were realigned in 2020, and split into two separate positions: CIO and G6.[1] Leonel Garciga has served as the Chief Information Officer since June 2023.

Priorities of the Chief Information Officer

[edit]

Spearheaded by the OCIO, The Army Digital Transformation Strategy (ADTS) [2] is the overarching framework that will set the vision, establish lines of effort (LOE), and implement strategic digital transformation initiatives prioritized and resourced as required to achieve this end state. Each LOE and initiative must be outcome-driven to ensure that it is operationally effective in a resource constrained future. The Army must and will make bold investments in transformative digital technologies, build the workforce into one with the training and experience to execute the full range of Army missions in increasingly complex technological environments, and put the right data in decision makers’ hands quicker than ever before. The Office of the CIO will lead these efforts for the Army in partnership with Headquarters, Department of Army (HQDA), Army Commands, Army Service Component Commands (ASCCs), Direct Report Units (DRUs), the Department of Defense CIO, Joint Staff, and Allied nations and partners as required.

Office of the Chief Information Officer

[edit]

The Office of the Chief Information Officer is composed of three directorates and three field operating agencies.

Architecture, Data, & Standards [3] (ADS): The Architecture, Data, & Standards Directorate drives innovation and modernization across the Army by developing and maintaining an integrated enterprise architecture, propagating data and service standards, and applying comprehensive program management rigor to IT investments.

Policy, Resources, & Analysis [4] (PRA): The Policy, Resources, & Analysis Directorate exercises legal, fiscal, and statutory authorities to achieve near-term and strategic CIO/G-6 objectives; and delivers CIO-focused governance, policy, human capital development, financial planning, programming and execution, bulk buying strategies, and portfolio management to execute and sustain LandWarNet and Network 2030.

Cybersecurity Directorate [5] (CSD): The Cybersecurity Directorate provides direction and guidance for cybersecurity policy, architecture, and resourcing to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and reputation of Army data.

Enterprise Cloud Management Agency [6] (ECMA): The Enterprise Cloud Management Agency is a centralized resource to establish the cloud environment to synchronize and integrate cloud efforts across the Army.

Enterprise Services Agency [7] (ESA): The Army's Enterprise Services Agency provides products and services in support of the Army, other military departments, the Joint Staff, Office of the Secretary of Defense, and other federal agencies for the Pentagon Community.

Army Analytics Group [8] (AAG): The Army Analytics Group delivers analytical services to the Army for a broad cross-section of organizational operations and functions, with expertise in cybersecurity, information technology, machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence modeling.
