Because the various agencies of the Department of Defense were unable to come to agreement on the requirements and implementation of an updated Joint Command and Control capability, NECC has been canceled and funding directed towards the various Global Command and Control System silos. “Due to the unwillingness of the Services and others to agreeRead… Read more »

Records Managers are the Original Knowledge Managers

I had an interesting conversation with two very intelligent and motivated gentlemen yesterday morning to discuss the focus and purpose of DoD 5015.02-STD. That is a series of blog posts itself.
