1.0. Background.

1.1. DOTD publishes the Aviation Branch professional bulletin, Aviation Digest for its inclusion in its SharePoint website. The Aviation Digest is also prepared in print format for limited distribution. In order to make these publications and other critical DOTD training products available Army wide and in order to receive and respond to requests for information from the operating force in a timely manner, DOTD has a requirement to maintain a professional and functional presence on Share Point and on the Fort Novosel public website.

1.2. The Aviation Digest is a full color and illustrated quarterly publication approximately 48- 52 pages in length, released in February, May, August, and November, or as directed by USAACE HQ. The Aviation Digest provides the Aviation Branch a source for the timely interchange of professional views and comments, operational lessons learned, emerging doctrine, and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). The Aviation Digest includes a book review section (Turning Pages) intended to provide reviews of books of interest to the military professional and encourage professional reading and publishing. The Aviation Digest requires high quality illustration and professional rendering of photographs received from authors in support of their submitted articles. It should match the production values of other military professional journals such as ARMOR and INFANTRY (Maneuver Center of Excellence), KNOWLEDGE (U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center), and APPROACH (U.S. Navy).

1.3. DOTD has a requirement to maintain a professional and functional presence on Share Point. The website is a tool used to distribute critical training materials; collecting, disseminating, and integrating aviation TTPs; OIL; receive and disseminate requests for information (RFIs) from the operating force; coordinate input to critical task lists; provide a forum for collaboration on new or updated doctrinal and training publications; and announce conferences, seminars, working groups or other gatherings sponsored by or of immediate interest to DOTD. This portal will include a capability for the exchange of comments/ideas related to this training and doctrinal information. The Government will approve the Share Point format used in this information exchange. Format will permit customer access to Share Point pages for depositing training information; TTP; and new/updated doctrinal information in easily accessed folders and files for review and will allow collaboration by individuals and organizations outside DOTD. A DOTD homepage, pages for the Training, Doctrine, and Tactics Division, and pages for each branch requiring a web presence will be built and updated as required to maintain currency and relevance. The web site requires high quality illustration and professional rendering of graphic illustrations and content to present a professional appearance with ease of access to users and the operating force. As the hub for Army Aviation Doctrine, DOTD also requires a social media presence to publish new topics easily throughout the force in the digital age.

1.4. Two mailboxes are required to receive communication from the operating force. One mailbox provides a means for the operating force to provide material for the Aviation Digest or to provide comments for the Readers Respond section of the Aviation Digest. A second mailbox established on the DOTD website homepage provides a link for the operating force to receive rapid response to inquiries for information retained throughout the DOTD and especially the Tactics/Lessons Learned Branch. These mailboxes must be managed to provide access and necessary permissions to personnel designated to monitor and respond to inquiries.

1.5. As a part of USAACE Strategic Communications Initiatives; USAACE prepares professional literature such as trifolds, handouts, and slides to support knowledge transfer of highly significant, short fuse information in printed or electronic format to USAACE Professional Military Education courses, Aviation Conferences, and Working Groups. This literature requires compilation, editing, high quality illustration and professional rendering of photographs and other illustrations within the literature.
