On Dod

It’s been a little more than two years since the Army’s chief information officer memorably declared that the battlefield network it has is not the network it needs. Now the service is nearly ready to start buying significant quantities of equipment to start constructing a network it believes will keep pace with technology and survive on a modern battlefield. On this week's show, Maj. Gen. Peter Gallagher, the director of the Army’s Network Cross Functional Team and Maj. Gen. David Bassett, the program executive officer for command, control and communications-tactical (PEO-C3T) join Jared Serbu to talk about what's next for the integrated tactical network. Also, Brian Dunbar, the assistant director of security for National Counterintelligence and Security Center talks with Federal News Network’s Nicole Ogrysko about major changes to the federal security clearance process as part of the government's Trusted Workforce 2.0 initiative.
