Army confronts battle to globalize its network resources -- Defense Systems: "It’s been more than a year since Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Sorenson, the Army’s chief information officer, began evangelizing his strategic vision for how the Army’s networks should work: each soldier gets one user account, one e-mail address, one phone number, and one set of software tools that work regardless of the soldier's location. But realizing that vision continues to be a steep uphill climb.
In its current form, the Army’s LandWarNet is still a collection of fragmented networks with distributed operational controls, different configuration management schemes and often incompatible tools.
The Army has separate information technology operations — directorates of information management (DOIMs) at 447 locations in the United States. They support 19 different commands and agencies."
