For nearly 10 years, the Defense Information Systems Agency has been working to provide secure cloud computing to DoD agencies. No longer the exclusive cloud provider itself, DISA now helps agencies use commercial providers in a secure way. Nowadays, the effort centers on applications, if they’re ready for cloud hosting and the best way to go about it. John Hale, the cloud portfolio manager at DISA, explains more on Pentagon Solutions.

It’s no secret that the Pentagon’s wartime budget is now funding a lot of day-to-day requirements, but DoD accounting systems can’t tell how much. New estimates from Government Accountability Office says DoD has routinely dipped into its overseas contingency operations account to fund “enduring” requirements since 2009, but there’s no way to tell which account ultimately funded any particular expense, making it very difficult for Congress to oversee DoD’s operations and maintenance accounts. Andrew Van Ah is GAO’s acting director for Defense Capabilities and Management. He spoke with Federal News Radio’s Jared Serbu about the O&M accounting problem.
