Defense Information Infrastructure: Rationale for Defense Management Report Decision 918
Abstract
On September 15, 1993, the Deputy Secretary of Defense approved DMRD 918, 'Defense Information Infrastructure'. The objective of this DMRD is to establish an information infrastructure which provides a seamless, transparent, and protected end-to-end information transfer capability for DOD users. The paper Defense information Infrastructure: Rational for Defense Management Report Decision 918, September 1992 provides the underlying assumption, principles and strategy which provided the basis for the concept of the approved DRMD. This paper describes the overall Defense Information Infrastructure (DII) and its role in support of joint operations. It defines those sub-elements of the Infrastructure for which the Defense information Systems Agency would have management responsibility (as en-in the development of the original DMRD), including a description of how the DISA could operate and finance theses functions. It outlines a potential sequence of actions to implement the information infrastructure that better support our joint and combined forces. The paper may be useful to anyone who has an interest in the genesis of the DMRD, especially as a baseline document from which informed discussion of the DMRD may proceed
