Ms. Lynn Schnurr
Department of the Army G-2, Chief Information Officer and
Director Intelligence Community Information Management
SECDEF Statement
Department Efficiencies – 7th Initiative
UNCLASSIFIED
 Large and well-staffed intelligence structures now exist in the
Services, defense agencies, the combatant commands, and in the
War theaters
 Find the right balance between the value of centralizing intelligence
functions versus distributing or embedding them closer to the front
 Eliminate unnecessary redundancy and direct more resources to places
where they are needed, such as certain specialties in short supply in theater
 Immediate 10 percent reduction in funding for intelligence advisory and
assistance contracts
 Freeze the number of senior executive positions in defense intelligence
organizations
 Take further steps to end needless duplication within the department’s
intelligence community
Conduct a zero-based review of the department’s intelligence missions,
organizations, relationships, and contracts to be completed by 1 Nov 10

Mission Cloud
from Intel
Perspective
• More than infrastructure (IaaS),
virtualized footprint & storage
• Power of Cloud computing rests in other layers as well, (PaaS, SaaS, DaaS) to achieve exponential improvement in
analytics over unstructured data
• Data Ingestion & Content Management crucial to provide an environment in which data can be
endlessly reshaped and reused
• In LandISRNet, Cloud fixed infrastructure and deployed/edge nodes need to operate as a single distributed
computing entity -- orders of magnitude greater speed and processing power
• Leverage software re-use (other organizations’ Ozone widgets, applications & IC/DoD backend data
repositories)
• Immediate access by users beyond one functional domain – open to IC, DoD, Intel & Ops
