Fort Hood, Texas, the largest Army base in the world and home of the 4th Infantry Division ? the service’s first digitized force ? has a huge information security problem, said Maj. Gen. Dennis Moran, the Army’s director of architecture, operations, networks & space in the Office of the Chief Information Officer. He spoke June 8 at the Army Information Technology Conference sponsored by the Army Small Computer Program.

Some Army IT leaders think the best way to solve the information security problem at Fort Hood is to operate IT as an enterprise. For example, the base has 96 domains on the military?s unclassified network. Consolidating e-mail, servers and storage systems would improve network management, operations and security, Moran said.

But Fort Hood technology workers resisted the consolidation idea. The Army’s IT leaders must resolve the tension between the Army?s need to operate IT as an enterprise and IT workers? unique requirements at bases, Moran said.
