Description
Logistics Support Activities, managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency, is a classified initiative focused on enhancing the Department of Defense's operational capabilities. The primary goal is to support continuity of operations and government decision-making through a secure collaboration environment known as the Distributed Continuity Integrated Network – Top Secret Enterprise Services (DCIN-TS ES). This environment facilitates decision-making among key personnel and staff across various platforms, including air, ground, rail, and sea.
The objectives include ensuring that the DCIN-TS ES is available in multiple configurations—fixed, transportable, and mobile—to meet diverse operational needs. This flexibility allows for seamless integration into different military operations and enhances the resilience of communication networks in various scenarios. The program emphasizes research and development to maintain and improve these capabilities, ensuring they remain at the forefront of technological advancements.
Additionally, Logistics Support Activities aim to achieve programmatic efficiencies and schedule adjustments to optimize resource allocation. The program's classified nature means that specific details are provided in appropriately secured Department of Defense exhibits. This ensures that sensitive information remains protected while allowing for necessary oversight and evaluation by authorized entities.
