understand that vastness,” he said. “Data science knowledge will affect how we design systems to allow our warfighters to remain safe in the field and enhance the effectiveness of their missions.”


MADE POSSIBLE BY Te new training originated in the “Consolidated Appropria- tions Act, 2022,” in which Congress mandated that the military services enhance the digital capacity of the workforce. Te DACM Office leveraged Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Account (DAWDA) funds to cover the training. Tis training, coupled with other efforts involving data-tools acquisition and project improvement efforts that the acquisition community is pursuing, will lead to the ability to leverage artificial intelligence tools that enhance Army programs and formations.


Over the next year, the Army DACM Office will sponsor a series of weeklong Army data leader courses intended for Army acquisition professionals. It aims to improve data-driven decision- making across all domains, from human resources and training to research development and engineering, to build awareness of enterprise data management efforts focused on increasing data quality and usability, and to provide executive-level understand- ing of the enterprise data management components and best practices.


Concurrently, the Army DACM Office will sponsor a two-week digital data user’s skill development course for midgrade acquisi- tion professionals to better understand how to identify problems that might be solved with data methods, such as which data methods and tools are most appropriate for each problem and where the Army faces the most pressing data issues. Tis training, along with the acquisition of better tools, directly support and will enable realization of the vision set by the Army and Army acquisition executive’s focus on digital transformation.


CONCLUSION “Te amount of data coming at our warfighters can be over- whelming,” said Waldran. “Having more people exposed to the science will help those designing and building complex systems to help the management and visualization of that data.”
