Management HQ - Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC)

The Management HQ - Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) program is a crucial component of the Department of Defense's efforts to streamline and support its research and engineering activities. This initiative focuses on funding the headquarters element of DTIC, which operates under the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. The primary goal is to ensure efficient management and administrative support for DTIC's operations, with an emphasis on personnel compensation, strategic planning, and leadership activities. By centralizing these functions, the program aims to enhance operational efficiencies across DTIC.

A significant objective of the Management HQ - DTIC program is to provide comprehensive financial management and comptroller services. This includes managing resources at the agency level to support mission requirements, preparing necessary documents for submission to higher authorities, and ensuring accurate financial reporting in partnership with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service. Additionally, it oversees Financial Improvement and Audit Remediation (FIAR) activities to align with departmental audit goals and objectives.

Another key focus area for this program is human resources liaison support. It facilitates payroll processing, employee training, professional development, and recruitment actions within DTIC. The program also collaborates with other defense agencies like the Defense Logistics Agency for maintaining Equal Employment Opportunity programs. Furthermore, it ensures compliance with mandatory records management activities and administers related programs.

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) functions are integral to this program as well. The CIO is responsible for collecting and analyzing information necessary for managing enterprise IT resources effectively. These activities are conducted in accordance with DoD-CIO guidance and mandates, ensuring that DTIC's IT infrastructure supports its broader mission objectives efficiently. The Management HQ - DTIC program plays a vital role in maintaining the operational integrity and efficiency of DTIC's core functions.
