The realignment came after several months of planning and coordination. ^[1] Leo Garciga serves as the second SES Civillian to hold the role of Chief Information Officer, succeeding his predecessor, Dr. Raj.

Priorities of The Chief Information Officer

The OCIO is focused on creating a Digital Army by 2030, able to deliver overmatch through Joint Multi-Domain Operations, leveraging innovative and transformative technologies.

Spearheaded by the OCIO, The Army Digital Transformation Strategy (ADTS) ^[2], is the overarching framework that will set the vision, establish lines of effort (LOE), and implement strategic digital transformation initiatives prioritized and resourced as required to achieve this end state. Each LOE and initiative must be outcome driven to ensure that it is operationally effective in a resource constrained future. The Army must and will make bold investments in transformative digital technologies, build the workforce into one with the training and experience to execute the full range of Army missions in increasingly complex technological environments, and put the right data in decision makers’ hands quicker than ever before. The Office of the CIO will lead these efforts for the Army in partnership with Headquarters, Department of Army (HQDA), Army Commands, Army Service Component Commands (ASCCs), Direct Report Units (DRUs), the DoD CIO and Joint Staff, and Allied Nation Partners as required.
