C-1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Department of War (DoW) plays a critical role in the United States' efforts to enhance global security through international partnerships and cooperative defense initiatives. Central to this mission is the ability to train, educate, advise, and equip partner nations with speed and precision. In the modern era, this mission is fundamentally enabled by a resilient, interoperable, and modernized digital enterprise.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) Information Management and Technology (IM&T) Directorate serves as the Department’s strategic architect for security cooperation information technology solutions, cybersecurity oversight, and enterprise system management. Tasked by the Department of War to enable the global Security Cooperation mission, DSCA IM&T is responsible for architecting, maintaining, and modernizing the digital infrastructure and business systems that form the "Digital Fabric" of the enterprise.
