The U.S. Army’s Network Enterprise Technology Command, or NETCOM, has started implementing a cloud-based directory and device management platform to deliver enhanced security and capabilities to warfighters worldwide.
The Army said Wednesday it will transition all unclassified end-user computers to the Army Unified Directory Service, or AUDS, by the end of September.

What Is AUDS?
AUDS seeks to merge all unclassified Army directories into a single, unified network to help streamline user and device management.
The platform is leveraging artificial intelligence to facilitate integration with a threat intelligence network and facilitate proactive response to emerging threats. It also applies threat detection and endpoint protection measures to improve security.
Improving User Experience
With AUDS, warfighters can access Teams, Outlook and other Army 365 applications from compliant devices without the need for a VPN.
The device management platform also offers single sign-on features and provides standardized network access controls to ensure seamless connectivity.
Facilitating AUDS Transition
NETCOM has been conducting weekly administrator training and leader orientation sessions to facilitate the transition to AUDS. The command will also configure new systems to meet the AUDS standard.
The military branch is directing commands to submit required software to the AUDS approved product list through the Army Enterprise Service Management Portal.

Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.; Maggie Hassan, D-N.H.; Susan Collins, R-Maine; and Angus King, I-Maine have proposed legislation that would spare the Navy’s four public shipyards from workforce reductions. Called the Protecting Public Naval Shipyards Act, the bipartisan bill tells the Department of Defense to exempt certain positions at public shipyards from hiring freezes and layoffs to ensure that nuclear-powered submarine maintenance and overhaul are uninterrupted. “This bipartisan bill will ensure that important naval operations continue without disruption by exempting public shipyard employees from the chaotic mass firings, workforce reductions, and hiring freezes directed by the Trump Administration,” said Hassan.
