“My biggest takeaway from this entire process would be that you should get in touch with ECMO [Enterprise Cloud Management Office], up front and early,” Poole said. “It’s very important that is the first step you take.” He advises organizations to ask for the most up-to-date guidance before moving forward, but said they should be ready for that process to change along the way. “If you think you’re going to make it to the cloud in a year, double that,” he said. “Not that it’s going to take you that long to get through the process, but as the process changes, be prepared to change your direction a couple of times.”
CONCLUSION Te map to migration is becoming more clear, thanks to the efforts of USAASC and key players within the Army and DOD. Poole and the IT Enterprise Operations team at USAASC have provided the entire experience in a white paper, through which they aim to share these and other insights with Army stakehold- ers and other organizations planning to move to the cloud.
“It’s all about helping each other out, sharing those lessons learned, and working together to accomplish this goal,” he said. With their insights as a guide, perhaps other commands can accomplish their own migrations while sidestepping a few potholes.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILTIES
The Army Application Migration Business Office (AAMBO) was responsible for the initial cloud readiness assess- ment, cost-benefit analysis assistance and served as a liaison between the application owner and the DOD- approved enterprise environment providers. This office later became part of the Enterprise Cloud Management Office, which serves as the enterprise cloud migration resource for Army data and application owners.
Chief Information Officer/G-6 (CIO/G-6) is responsible for application migration and data center consolidation policy and provided concurrence on cost-benefit analysis submissions.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Cost and Economics reviews and may provide final concur- rence for the cost-benefit analysis.
Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology's Office of the Chief Systems Engineer is responsible for the over- arching cybersecurity for USAASC and contributes to the risk-management framework and authorization process through the authorizing official and the Program-Informa- tion System Security Manager roles.
System or application owner is responsible for applica- tion rationalization, cost-benefit analysis, cloud-services provider procurement, cybersecurity-services provider agreements, environment setup and migration, obtaining authorization to operate, final cut-over and sustainment on cloud.
Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) regis- ters the migrated system and provides access to a cloud-access point. A cloud-access point is needed for all Impact Level 4 or 5 cloud environments to connect to the DOD network.
The U.S. Army Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center is the cyberse- curity-services provider. It provides host-based security system and Assured Compliance Assessment Solution licenses to track vulnerabilities within the USAASC IT system environment.
