Description

Army HQ has made significant progress over the last 3 years in re-introducing its ability to manage the Army at an enterprise level. The current Enterprise Architecture (EA) services have been at the heart of this change, either delivering or shaping a series of 2* led initiatives:

DCap and DSp - the work to re-focus capability management back from the project level to the force (Force Centric Capability Management (FCCM)

DInfo - support to the coherent delivery of Army Digital Services, Le TacCIS, Land ISTAR and Land Cyber

ACGS - the re-design of the Army Operating Model (AOM)

The provision of Enterprise Architecture has been a key enabler to this progress, demonstrating the value of investment in new enterprise level thinking, processes and structures to deliver an Army that is designed to be integrated, adaptable and leading Defence coherence. The Army EA Branch has been recognised as a leading Defence capability in a recent EA maturity review conducted by Defence Digital.

Enabling functional areas to invest in digitalisation using DInfo's capabilities as an enabler is a key component of THEIA - the Army's initiative to accelerate digitalisation. The next phase of Enterprise Architecture will not only support ongoing adoption of architecture best-practice in the Land domain but will, as a result of the AOM Review, place EA at the strategic heart of Army HQ to act as a binding function, bringing coherence and strategic alignment, and hence improved competitiveness and efficiency, to our corporate and warfighting capabilities.

The requirement for the Army to develop and employ Enterprise Architecture is recognised in ExCo Objective 10 - Data Centric Digital Army Optimised and in support of Army Strategic Object 2 to Modernise its Capability.
