Today, the DoD information environment is made up of multiple disjointed and stove-piped systems distributed across modern and legacy infrastructure around the globe. The data that flows through these systems is growing at an exponential rate. This has caused a litany of problems that impact warfighters', decision makers', and DoD staffs ability to capitalize on critical information to make timely, data-driven decisions. To address these challenges, DoD has implemented a number of cloud solutions; however, they have been built in a disjointed manner. Furthermore, DoD is starting to leverage emerging technologies, such as AI, to help manage the understanding ofall the Department's data. However, the critical infrastructure that AI is being built on top of is disparate and disjointed. To overcome these challenges, DoD will utilize this guiding strategy to further develop a detailed enterprise approach for managing its data, infrastructure, and application landscape. The advent of commercial cloud has provided a powerful opportunity to address these problems. To best take advantage of the opportunity presented by commercial cloud, the Department must implement an enterprise cloud strategy. The appropriate strategy for the DoD will be to leverage a combination of General Purpose and Fit For Purpose clouds along with the advantages of multiple commercial cloud providers. To achieve the objectives outlined above, the Department will pursue a set of interrelated strategic approaches: Warfighter First, Cloud Smart-Data Smart, Leverage Commercial Industry Best Practices, and Create a Culture Better Suited for Modem 10
