Marine Corps Systems Command Launches Directorate to Track Network Risks, Changes

Marine Corps Systems Command Launches Directorate to Track Network Risks, Changes

The U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command has formed a directorate out of its Task Force Aquila to evaluate the performance and security of an enterprise infrastructure that interconnects network elements, people, processes, architecture and cyber functions across the service branch.

MARCOSYSCOM said Friday the formation of the Technical Management and Analysis Directorate aligns with planning guidelines set forth by Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger.

USMC first activated the task force in March 2021 to help identify technical risks to the Marine Corps Enterprise Network prior to the implementation of any change proposals from the more than 50 entities under the Department of Navy that support the information technology platform.

Luis Velazquez, chief technology officer of systems engineering and acquisition logistics directorate at MARCORSYSCOM, said the MCEN works to help connect tactical mission personnel to garrison.

“We’d like to be able to get to a place where connectivity can be built in real-time for a specific purpose and then torn down once it’s no longer needed,” said Keegan Mills, the command’s lead for TMAD IT and cyber technology.

“The MCEN should ensure that critical messages sent across the network are accurate, haven’t been tampered with, and haven’t been intercepted.”

Kurt DelBene: Digitization Key to Address Challenges in VA Service Delivery

Kurt DelBene, chief information officer of the Department of Veterans Affairs, said that digital products developed by the VA’s Office of Information and Technology have significantly improved customer service and workforce efficiency especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a Nextgov guest piece published Friday, DelBene urged the department to continue using innovations such as solution-focused engineering and collaboration to devise practical solutions that address its mission challenges.

At the start of the pandemic, the OIT was able to increase VA’s telehealth capacity from 40,000 a month to as many as 40,000 a day after deploying online-based critical care.

The department was also able to transition 400,000 employees and contractors to home-based work by procuring 200,000 laptops and upgrading other capabilities despite disruption in the global supply chain, DelBene said.

He emphasized that the demand for digital VA services will continue to grow and the agency must prioritize vision-driven execution, operational excellence in IT products, exceptional customer IT experience, and advancement of competitive workforce development.

DelBene, who has been in his CIO post for 10 months, said some of his objectives down the road are to implement technical platforms necessary to modernize the department’s electronic health record and integrated financial and acquisition management systems.

He intends to lead the establishment of products for VA employees that boost productivity and veteran-facing products that are tailored from actual input of the end users.
