Women play an important role in our armed services and throughout the Department of Defense as civilians. The workforce at the Communication-Electronic Command's (CECOM) Software Engineering Center (SEC) reflect the DoD's initiative for diversity and inclusion as women are engaged in every echelon of staffing to include organizational leadership. A few SEC members speak on their roles and the importance of cyber security.

The true strength of the U.S. military comes from its diversity. There is not just a diversity of weaponry, equipment, and tactics used on the battlefield with the widely adopted concept of multi-domain operations, but also, diversity in representation, perspectives, and thought.

One mark of any good leader is to quickly assess and recognize the needs of their organization. If polled, recruiting and retaining quality personnel would be ranked near the top of anyone's list. The U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command's Software Engineering Center has devised a novel concept to address both at the same time.

The U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Software Engineering Center (SEC) is the largest software center in the Department of Defense. As such it is the site of cutting edge technology and innovation being dispersed throughout the DOD. However technology doesn't create itself and it certainly doesn't fix itself.

Army modernization touches all aspects of military life. That includes Army dining facilities.

The U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Software Engineering Center (SEC) took a major step forward in ensuring command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems — Soldiers' eyes and ears on the battlefield — are protected against the latest cyber threats.

A pilot program is in place for Soldiers in the field to receive more timely software updates. The work behind the pilot was done by the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command's Software Engineering Center, at APG.

In combat on land, at sea, in the air and even in cyberspace, joint force warfighters rely on real-time data on threats and friendly forces to make split-second, potentially life-and-death decisions. Contrast that with the software development environment, where testing new programs and patches is crucial but often manual, laborious and time-consuming.

On the 21st century battlefield, American Soldiers rely on timely, relevant and accurate information to understand their operating environment, assess threats and achieve their missions. The Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A) is the Army's intelligence processing operating system, and it is one of the most critical tools in their arsenal.

When Gen. James McConville assumed duties as the 40th Chief of Staff of the Army in August 2019, he emphasized he would place a renewed focus on people. The Army's strength and resilience, he noted, is rooted in the Soldiers, civilians and families who empower the Army to achieve its mission every day. At the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command, the Software Engineering Center, or SEC, is channeling that priority into its own people-focused manpower initiative — and saving the government millions in the process.
