Foreword
The global threat landscape is constantly evolving and remaining competitive and modernizing
our digital environment for great power competition is imperative for the Department of Defense.
We must act now to secure our future.
This Digital Modernization Strategy is the cornerstone for advancing our digital environment to
afford the Joint Force a competitive advantage in the modern battlespace.
Our approach is simple. We will increase technological capabilities across the Department and
strengthen overall adoption of enterprise systems to expand the competitive space in the digital
arena. We will achieve this through four strategic initiatives: innovation for advantage,
optimization, resilient cybersecurity, and cultivation of talent.
The Digital Modernization Strategy provides a roadmap to support implementation of the National
Defense Strategy lines of effort through the lens of cloud, artificial intelligence, command, control
and communications and cybersecurity.
This approach will enable increased lethality for the Joint warfighter, empower new partnerships
that will drive mission success, and implement new reforms enacted to improve capabilities across
the information enterprise.
The strategy also highlights two important elements that will create an enduring and outcome
driven strategy. First, it articulates an enterprise view of the future where more common
foundational technology is delivered across the DoD Components. Secondly, the strategy calls for
a Management System that drives outcomes through a metric driven approach, tied to new DoD
CIO authorities granted by Congress for both technology budgets and standards.
As we modernize our digital environment across the Department, we must recognize now more
than ever the importance of collaboration with our industry and academic partners. I expect the
senior leaders of our Department, the Services, and the Joint Warfighting community to take the
intent and guidance in this strategy and drive implementation to achieve results in support of our
mission to Defend the Nation.

Executive Summary
The DoD Digital Modernization Strategy, which also serves as the Department¡¯s Information
Resource Management (IRM) Strategic Plan, presents Information Technology (IT)-related
modernization goals and objectives that provide essential support for the three lines of effort in
the National Defense Strategy (NDS), and the supporting National Defense Business Operations
Plan (NDBOP). It presents the DoD Chief Information Officer¡¯s (DoD CIO) vision for achieving
the Department¡¯s goals and creating ¡°a more secure, coordinated, seamless, transparent, and
cost-effective IT architecture that transforms data into actionable information and ensures
dependable mission execution in the face of a persistent cyber threat.¡± 1 This vision is guided by
four priorities and framed within four organizing goals.

This strategy also fulfills the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requirement to provide a
description of how information resources management activities help accomplish agency
missions, and ensure that information resource management decisions are integrated with
organizational planning, budget, procurement, financial management, human resources
management, and program decisions. 2 It includes narratives that summarize the Department¡¯s
approach to IT modernization, focused on the Joint Information Environment (JIE) Framework
(in Section 3), and describe how Cybersecurity is being strengthened (Section 4). These efforts
support achievement of the DoD CIO¡¯s modernization vision, and the goals and objectives
identified in this strategy. Finally, appendices provide a brief description of promising
technologies; tables showing alignment to the NDBOP, the President¡¯s Management Agenda,
and DoD IT Reform Initiatives, respectively; and a summary of DoD CIO authorities.
