For example, how can the Army keep its global force connected? Or how can the Army network be as mobile as our Soldiers? I3MP addresses these challenges through professionalism, dedication to the mission and putting the right people and resources in place to procure, install and sustain the information infrastructure. It has three assistant managers helping to lead that work, providing information technology (IT), infrastructure modernization and life cycle management of the Army’s stateside Installation Campus Area Networks and strategic command centers.
“At the commander level, the operational need is real. You can see quickly how these systems provide the commander criti- cal decision-making information and how that commander is effectively using it in making command decisions,” said Alberto Dominguez, assistant product manager (APM) for IT capabil- ity modernization efforts within the continental United States (CONUS).
Dominguez’s team provides Army bases, posts and stations with foundational installation capability sets, including data network modernization, outside plant modernization and voice network modernization. Tese projects enable the implementation of network modification and Home Station Mission Command Center (HSMCC) capabilities, which are managed by Maj. Aleyzer Mora and Kevin Chinn.
With decades of experience in the Army acquisition community, Dominguez has delivered IT capability modernization projects at multiple military installations across the world. Tese projects created robust and scalable network information infrastructure improvements that provided base services and support in a broad spectrum of training, operational and Soldier sustainment needs. For example, Dominguez’s team in 2015 had oversight of the IT modernization efforts at Fort Gordon, Georgia, worth approximately $17 million. IT modernization included robust outside-plant fiber and Voice over internet Protocol (VoIP) capabilities supporting 7,000 voice users and providing network modernization capabilities to 23,000 users.
Together, he and his team lead Army efforts for accomplishing outside-plant infrastructure installation of copper and fiber- optic cable and gigabit ethernet data network modernization worldwide. Tis work involves outside-plant copper and fiber infrastructure modernization that allows Army posts to expand network bandwidth and access capacity. Te designing and plan- ning involved in these efforts are no different than planning the development of a small city to support bandwidth growth within the next five to 10 years.

By supporting the Army’s telecommunications infrastruc- ture, data networks and voice-switching modernization efforts, Dominguez and his team enhance the delivery of IT services to Army customers. Te work is highly technical and can include unforeseen technical risks involving environmental and historical site conditions. For example, providing a needed VoIP capability requires Dominguez’s team to work with multiple experts from the information technology, information assurance and commer- cial market communities.
“Our work is highly technical, the tasks are challenging and our responsibilities are great, but the mission is clear: Soldiers first,” said Dominguez. He takes tremendous satisfaction in his role as a project manager when he can directly support the Soldier. “Tis job gives you a different compass and set of values, where everything you do has a set purpose, a timeline and a sense of urgency in meeting the operational needs and system-critical performance objectives.”
MISSION COMMAND FROM HOME STATION Mora is the APM for HSMCC. An Army chief information officer/G-6 initiative, HSMCC is the Army’s evolutionary approach to providing corps, divisions and select other com- mands the capability to host and operate mission command systems at home station. Once it’s fully functional, the HSMCC
