The Financial Impact of Corona Virus Disease 19 on Department of Defense Telework Capability

Abstract

The research presented in the paper evaluates the financial impact of Corona Virus Disease 19 on the Department of Defense Telework System. According to a survey and interviews with DoD officials, the Department of Defense Inspector General (DoDIG) (Defense, 2021), initial challenges occurred because components had not tested their information systems and network access. However, testing was a requirement of the DoD Implementation Plan and DoD Telework Policy. As a result, some components were unprepared given the limitations of their networks and communications, and equipment. In addition, the quantity of personnel who instantly migrated into a telework status caused significant challenges for many organizations throughout the Department of Defense.
