Defense initiatives regarding the AAW, manages the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund (DAWDF) for the AAW, and writes the reports to DOD and Congress—all of it so organizations across the Army acquisition community can focus on their missions.
Why is it important? It’s the responsibility of the Army DACM Office to equip the Army Acquisition Workforce with the knowledge, information and opportunities that will help Army acquisition professionals succeed. It’s the job of each acquisition professional to obtain and understand the information.
• Te AAW of today is the most talented, educated and expe- rienced in our history—and the Army DACM Office is committed to making it even better.
• Te Army DACM Office must continue to develop a new cohort of leaders to ensure that we meet the Army’s future challenges. Resources and policies are available online to sup- port and develop the workforce, from talent management to mentoring, onboarding and more.

(For more information about DAWDF, see “Sustain, Main- tain, Train, Retain,” Page 130.) Commands and organizations seeking to request funds should consider initiatives that will improve certification rates among the acquisition workforce, develop functional and leadership skills, increase acquisition core competencies, and recruit, retain and recognize acquisition workforce talent. Funding is approved and allocated based on priorities established in the AAW human capital strategic goals and by individual organizations. Te deadline for submitting FY17 DAWDF requirements is May 15.
