A primary objective of the plan is to achieve full spectrum dominance — superiority in air, land, sea, cyberspace, and outer space — within 10 years. But how will DoD reach such an ambitious goal? Like many organizations, the department's innovative ability is reliant on advancing its IT prowess. Here, we examine 12 IT milestones marking progress for DoD transformation not only in cyberspace, but across all domains.
