Joint Staff Office of the Chief Data Officer

Abstract

Provides funds for the operation and support of activities directly related to the Joint Staff (JS) Office of the Chief Data Officer (OCDO) mission to enable data-centric efforts across the JS. This includes concept refinement, technology/system development, hardware/software requirements, training, and other activities necessary for OCDO to facilitate the linkages and integration of authoritative data flows between the Joint Staff, Combatant Commands (CCMDs), Services, and Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). In collaboration with each of the Joint Staff Directorates, the OCDO advances data interoperability and strengthens leadership on data governance to ensure that digital systems can fully support Combined Joint All-Domain Operations. As the Joint Staff focal point for data-centric efforts, on behalf of the Chairman, the JS OCDO also works closely with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer (CDAO) to communicate and represent the Joint Staff and Chairman’s requirements necessary to develop sustained information advantage capabilities to enable senior leader decision-making and action at the speed of the problem.
