Discover the origins of DISA! 📜✨ In 1960, the Defense Communications Agency was established to manage the Defense Communications System. By 1964, the DCA was tasked with establishing and maintaining communications in Southeast Asia, leading to the creation of operations that, by 1969, formed the basis of a regional network. This network supported the Vietnam War efforts, showcasing the importance of secure, reliable communications. Take a #DISAHistoryMinute to learn more 👇

After growing up in Detroit's foster care system, Tamika Johnson joined the US Navy, holding roles like recruit division commander at Great Lakes and enlisted aid to Navy Vice Adm. Ann E. Rondeau. She also served at Camp David under President George W. Bush. Johnson joined the agency in 2010 after 20 years of naval service and a brief stint in industry. She leverages her experience to thrive on our Internal Communication team. She’s known for creating the DISA Look Book, which evolved into the DISA Employee Spotlight (like this one 🙂), highlighting employees who excel at work and in their personal lives. "My leadership philosophy is to lead by example. Every great leader should be willing to get in the trenches and do the work themselves," she says. Join us in thanking Johnson for her commitment to serving our nation, both in uniform and as a civilian! #WorkforceWednesday #EmployerOfChoice #DISASpotlight

To meet United States Department of Defense objectives, we align our priorities with those outlined in DOD-wide strategies like the Office of the DoD Chief Information Officer's recently released Fulcrum strategy. “It’s called Fulcrum because it sits at the nexus between our national security strategy, our strategic management plans, our big thinking strategies, our workforce implementation strategies,” Principal Deputy DOD CIO Leslie Beavers said during her fireside chat at AFCEA International #TechNetCyber. Beavers explained that she needs everybody's help to implement Fulcrum, and we’re ready to drive the mission forward. Learn more ⬇️

If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you knew that someone in your organization had the knowledge you needed to do your job better, but you couldn't find that person or information, you've experienced what happens when knowledge management goes awry. On the other hand, proper knowledge management allows people and teams to quickly store, access and share information so that people across the organization can learn from one another and the past to achieve better outcomes. Recently, our Knowledge Management team facilitated the United States Department of Defense and Federal Knowledge Management Symposium at AFCEA International #TechNetCyber to share best practices in this critical field. Check out some of the highlights ⬇️

How would a future war differ from past conflicts? According to United States Marine Corps Col. Jared Voneida, DISA Pacific commander, in the past we were able to get up to speed after the conflict started. If a war with a near-peer or true-peer adversary arose, we wouldn't have that luxury. That's why we work around the clock, across the world to strengthen our posture, improve our network, and maintain deterrence in alignment with the #NationalDefenseStrategy. ⬇️ Learn more in this clip from AFCEA International #TechNetCyber.
