United States Air Force Lt. Gen. Robert J. Skinner, DISA director and JFHQ-DODIN commander, discussed the agency’s new strategic plan during his interview with FedGov.News at AFCEA International #WEST2024 in San Diego.

The U.S. military depends on us to ensure our capabilities are operational and secure. ✅ Strategic Command, Control and Communications. We must have high-quality capabilities that allow everyone in the United States Department of Defense to make rapid and informed decisions. ✅ Modernize and optimize our offerings to provide the DOD with the best capabilities at the best value. ✅ Leverage data as a central asset.

“The value of time, that is of being a little ahead of your opponent, often provides greater advantage than superior numbers or greater resources.” – Sun Tzu Why Onebrief? Onebrief saves time.  Without innovation, there is a finite limit to the amount of time that a staff can harvest through training and experience. Onebrief’s approach to planning shatters the limits that constrained military planners for decades, creating opportunities to significantly outpace adversaries. Doctrinally, the value of Onebrief lies in its ability to allow commanders to increase tempo without incurring the traditional associated risks to both force and mission. On 11 & 12 September 2024, Onebrief will be at the Iron Mike Conference Center on Fort Liberty. Onebrief was created by military planners for military planners. I would love to show you why so many organizations are turning to Onebrief to revolutionize their planning and staff workflows.
