MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION
SUBJECT: Army Directive 2016-38 (Migration of Army Systems and Applications to Approved Hosting Environments and Consolidation of Data Centers)
1. References. A complete list of references is at enclosure 1.
2. This directive establishes an implementation plan (enclosure 2) for a range of actions necessary for the Army to rationalize and modernize information technology (IT) systems and applications, migrate them to approved hosting environments (enclosure 3), and close or consolidate data centers (enclosure 4).
3. The Chief Information Officer (CIO)/G-6 governs implementation of this plan through the Army Enterprise Network Council (AENC) using the Migration Implementation and Review Council as its advisory body (defined in enclosure 2). AENC will provide quarterly updates to the Senior Review Group beginning no later than 120 days after the date of this directive.
4. This directive applies to all Army systems and applications currently in use or under development and to all future developments except those specifically excluded in enclosure 5. Reference a is hereby rescinded.
5. During fiscal year 2015 (FY 15), the Army spent $8.3 billion on a wide range of IT products and services, including IT systems, applications, manpower, and host facilities.
Many of these systems and applications are necessary for efficient operations; many are not. In addition, our systems and networks are under constant threat of compromise and disruption. Every IT system and application presents a potential attack surface to those wishing to affect our readiness to respond when required. We can no longer afford the luxury of unconstrained IT expenses nor accept the risk to the Army and the Nation posed by cyber threats directed against Army capabilities.
6. On 9 June 2014, the Under Secretary of the Army issued guidance to establish the Army Application Migration Business Office and outlined a process for migrating enterprise systems to core data centers (reference a). In the interim, the Department of Defense (DoD) CIO and the Army CIO/G-6 issued additional clarifying guidance (references b–d). However, progress in system and application virtualization and rationalization has been slow, and our data center closure and consolidation efforts have come to a virtual standstill. Additionally, in February 2016, the Deputy Secretary of Defense directed DoD to complete a rapid deployment and transition to Microsoft Windows 10 because of the need to strengthen our cybersecurity posture while
S E C R E T A R Y O F T H E A R M Y W A S H I N G T O N concurrently streamlining the IT operating environment (reference x). I therefore direct the following:
a. Implementation of the enclosed revised plan for migrating systems and applications and consolidating data centers.
b. Closure of installation processing nodes identified in enclosure 4, table 2, as well as the closure of any additional nodes, as required, not identified (including data centers under Army proponency).
c. Assessment of the feasibility, suitability, and acceptability for closing special purpose processing nodes identified in enclosure 4, table 2 through a collaborative effort between affected Army Commands and the Migration Implementation and Review Council, to include identifying special purpose processing nodes requiring exemption from closure.
d. Army Commands will complete the transition to Microsoft Windows 10 no later than 31 January 2017. Organizations unable to meet that suspense date may request a waiver through the appropriate process the Army CIO/G-6 and DoD have established.
7. Your direct leadership is required to ensure that implementation of this plan produces the desired strategic effects of streamlining our IT portfolios, saving corresponding resources that can be applied toward Army requirements, shrinking our data center footprint, and reducing cyber threats to our networks.
8. This directive will remain in effect until it is rescinded.

Army Directive 2016-38 Enclosure 2
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR SYSTEM AND APPLICATION
RATIONALIZATION AND MIGRATION
1. References. A complete list of references is in enclosure 1.
2. Purpose. This implementation plan establishes and directs a range of actions necessary for the Army to rationalize and modernize information technology (IT) systems and applications and migrate them to approved hosting environments.
3. Scope. This plan is applicable to all Army IT systems and applications regardless of command or proponent (hereafter referred to as Army commands), domain, or mission area, except those specifically exempted in enclosure 5.
4. Intent of the Secretary of the Army and Chief of Staff, Army. Our IT system and application rationalization and migration effort aims to accomplish three major objectives:
a. Reduce the number of Army IT systems and applications and optimize those remaining to operate in modern, cloud-enabled computing environments. We can no longer afford unconstrained IT spending nor embrace local IT hosting solutions apart from our desired enterprise approach.
b. Realize that cyber-related threats to our systems, applications, and networks pose significant risks to our ability to generate and sustain ready forces; protect the unit and personal information of our formations, Soldiers, and Family members; and secure our installations and activities. We can no longer underwrite these risks or tolerate antiquated IT software, hardware, and policies that present potential attack surfaces for exploitation.
c. Reduce our IT hosting-related costs by establishing and adhering to authorized network and hosting capabilities at each Army installation and command and by hosting every enterprise-level system and application in facilities capable of providing first-class service while reducing vulnerabilities and potentially saving resources.
5. Application Migration and Data Center Consolidation Strategy. To achieve these three major objectives, the Chief Information Officer (CIO)/G-6 published a comprehensive set of strategies and policies that provide the requisite foundation for action. Army commands and activities will aggressively execute those strategies and adhere to those policies within available resources.
a. Objective End State. The end state includes all enterprise systems and applications being approved, planned, resourced, and migrated to enterprise hosting environments no later than 30 September 2018, contingent upon the availability of enterprise hosting environments. Army enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, if not already migrated, are scheduled for migration to a Defense Information Systems
Army Directive 2016-38 2 Enclosure 2 Implementation Plan
Agency (DISA) Defense Enterprise Computing Center (DECC) as part of the Army ERP enclave. The suspense for ERP migration, subject to availability of funds, is 30 September 2018. The Army is reducing its data center inventory to one installation processing node (IPN) for each post, camp, or station as part of the larger Department of Defense (DoD) goal to reduce data center infrastructure by at least 60 percent from the current baseline. Reducing the Army’s data center inventory will enable the Army to make the follow-on transition to its long-term end state of four continental United States (CONUS) Army Enterprise Data Centers (AEDCs) and six outside the continental United States (OCONUS) AEDCs. This facilitates implementation of the Army Private Cloud - Enterprise (APC-E) in the 2025 timeframe and is consistent with the Army’s Cloud Computing Strategy (reference g), which leverages approved DoD, Federal, and commercial cloud service providers (CSPs). (A complete glossary of terms is in enclosure 6.)
b. Measures of Success
(1) No later than 180 days from the date of this directive, achieve complete application rationalization and disposition decision through the mission area level (modernize, sustain, or terminate) of all applicable IT systems and applications, regardless of mission area.
(2) No later than 30 September 2018, only legacy systems and applications with scheduled terminations by 30 September 2020 and with approved waivers and a supporting plan of action and milestones (POA&Ms) will remain on Army networks.
Waivers are contingent upon these systems and applications continuing to meet the requirements for operating on an Army network.
(3) No later than 30 September 2018, migrate all Army ERP systems to DISA DECC environments and fully establish the ERP enclave.
(4) No later than 30 September 2025, ensure that all Army commands and installations are compliant with the data center target detailed in this plan and management oversight is in place to monitor new entries to the Army data center inventory.
c. Incentives
(1) The modernization and migration of applications to virtualized environments is proven to reduce application support costs. Army commands develop business cases that create real savings through a combination of application rationalization (including elimination), modernization, and migration to approved virtualized data center environments. Army commands may use the savings they achieve to address command shortfalls during year of execution. Policy requires Army commands to reduce requirements consistent with savings they achieve in the Future Years Defense Plan.
Army Directive 2016-38 3 Enclosure 2
(2) Army commands should close data centers ahead of the schedule in enclosure 4, table 2 and leverage any efficiencies earned through the closures to reinvest in other IT mission needs (such as Windows 10 migration).
(3) Organizations that accelerate migrations and data center closures that create tangible real savings are the primary beneficiaries of those savings in the year of execution contingent upon and consistent with Department of the Army budget execution guidance the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Financial Management and Comptroller) publishes. Organizations that experience savings can keep those savings in their accounts (for example, Army commands for direct applications costs).
6. Definitions. For the purposes of this plan, the following definitions are in place.
a. Rationalization. Portfolio rationalization, or portfolio management, is the systematic management of IT investments within a portfolio, which includes identifying, prioritizing, authorizing, managing, and controlling applications. The focus of the rationalization effort is to identify value-added applications capable of serving a broader Army enterprise audience and garnering efficiencies through the elimination of outdated, legacy, and duplicative applications.
b. Modernization. Applications that have been upgraded or enhanced and brought into compliance with Army Common Operating Environment standards in accordance with the modernization checklist provided by the Army Application Management Business Office (AAMBO). The ALTESS Data Center (RFAA_VA_ALT_01) is designated as a modernization hub for Army commands and is available to facilitate Army application modernization support.
c. Virtualization. The act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) instance of an object, including but not limited to, creating a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system, storage device, or computer network resource.
d. Application Rationalization Methodology. Army commands select the application rationalization methodology or tool that best fits their needs for conducting a holistic review of the application portfolio. An available Army Portfolio Rationalization Guide describes an IT asset value assessment methodology that allows Army commands to better visualize and analyze the IT assets within their portfolio, including system and application dependencies, while enabling a quicker and more comprehensive portfolio management decision process. Army commands complete rationalization at the command, domain, and mission area levels and certify rationalizations by submitting a memorandum signed by the first general officer/member of the Senior Executive Service within the chain of command.
e. Hosting Solutions at Data Centers and Processing Nodes
(1) Army Enterprise Data Center. An AEDC is a fixed Army data center that provides high-capacity network infrastructure, security, technology, and operations.
Army Directive 2016-38 4 Enclosure 2
AEDCs are a unique category of IPNs because they can host both local and enterprise applications. The Army intends to establish 10 AEDCs: 4 in CONUS located at Fort Bragg, NC (FBRG_NC_NEC_04); Fort Carson, CO (FCRS_CO_NEC_01); Fort Knox, KY (FKNX_KY_HG1_01); and Redstone Arsenal, AL (RDST_AL_NEC_01); and 6 OCONUS locations to be determined. AEDCs either collocate with or connect to a joint regional security stack as they come online, in accordance with Joint Information Environment (JIE) requirements. In the interim, top-level architecture stacks will continue to provide network security. To ensure consistency in operations and maintenance, service provisioning and costing, ownership and operation of each IPN designated as an AEDC will be transitioned to Second Army. Transition of the AEDCs at the Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) Deputy Chief of Staff, G-1 (U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC)) IPN at Fort Knox and the U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM)/U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) IPNs at Fort Bragg to Second Army will take place based on the outcome of an event-driven cost-benefit analysis (CBA).
(2) Tactical Processing Node. Tactical/mobile processing nodes provide networked services to the tactical or deployed environment and are excluded from this policy.
(3) Installation Service Node (ISN). A facility containing the localized equipment necessary to provide the minimum basic functionality to an installation should it become disconnected from the Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN). An ISN does not host applications or process data. Potential services include read-only Active Directory servers, Domain Name System servers, Assured Compliance Assessment Solution servers, Host-Based Security System servers, and print servers. In addition, ISNs may host unified capabilities that must remain on the installation to enable emergency services when the connection to the DoDIN is interrupted. As part of the Army’s data center end state, most posts, camps, and stations will retain only an ISN.
(4) Installation Processing Node. IPNs are a fixed DoD data center providing local services to a single DoD installation and local area (installations physically or logically behind the network boundary). An IPN has all of the capabilities of an ISN plus the ability to process and store local applications (that is, applications that do not cross two or more installations).
(5) Special Purpose Processing Node. SPPNs are a fixed data center, or data servers in a fixed facility, supporting special purpose functions that cannot or should not be supported by IPNs because of their association with mission-specific infrastructure or equipment. Examples are meteorology; medical; modeling and simulation; test ranges;
classrooms; and research, development, test, and evaluation.
7. Plan Overview. The implementation plan consists of six steps divided into two mission-focused phases. The phased approach for migration focuses organizational efforts and aligns with the Application Migration Process Flow (enclosure 3).
Army Directive 2016-38 5 Enclosure 2
These phases may run sequentially or concurrently based on the progress of individual organizational efforts.
a. Phase 1: Mission Planning
(1) Step 1: Discovery and Portfolio Analysis. This step begins with the system or application owner executing a complete system and application discovery, binning (assigning the system or application to a corresponding domain and mission area), rationalization, and disposition decision (kill, modernize, or sustain). Step 1 ends when the command provides the domain and mission area the portfolio rationalization results and disposition decisions. The mission area provides the approved-for-migration system and applications list to the Army CIO/G-6 and the command prepares to begin migration readiness assessments. Tasks completed during this step include IT portfolio documentation in the Army Portfolio Management Solution (APMS), IT portfolios properly binned to appropriate mission areas and domains, IT portfolios rationalized and disposition decisions rendered, waivers submitted, rationalized application portfolio finalized, the endorsed application list submitted by the mission area governance forum to the CIO/G-6, and the CIO/G-6 providing a reviewed and approved list to the AAMBO.
(2) Step 2: Migration Readiness Assessment. This step is initiated when AAMBO acknowledges receipt of the Army organization’s endorsed application migration list from the Army CIO/G-6. This step ends with AAMBO providing a migration readiness assessment report (including engineering change proposal) that supports the system and application owner’s completion of a total cost of ownership and a cost evaluation of the “as is” and “to be” environments. Tasks completed during this phase include verification of system and application registration in APMS, system engineering analysis, all modernization activities on the AAMBO-approved modernization checklist, recommendation of the target enterprise hosting environment, rough order of magnitude cost estimate for target hosting environments, and total cost of ownership and migration cost assessments (performed by system/application owner).
(3) Step 3: Cost-Benefit Analysis. A CBA is initiated when the Army organization finishes prioritizing its migrating systems and applications, and has received the Migration Assessment Report from AAMBO. This phase ends when the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Cost and Economics) (DASA-CE), in coordination with the Army CIO/G-6, approves the CBA. Tasks completed during this step include the organization completing and submitting the CBA on the DASA-CE portal to trigger an automatic workflow notification to the domain, mission area, and Army CIO/G-6; the domain reviews the CBA and provides recommendations to the mission area; the mission area reviews and endorses the CBA; the Army CIO/G-6 reviews and provides the final endorsement of the CBA; and the DASA-CE (in coordination with the Army CIO/G-6), approves or disapproves the CBA.
(4) Step 4: Migration Planning. This step begins with the CBA approval and ends with initiation of target environment support services. Tasks completed during this phase include implementation of the migration plan, completion of the authorization
Army Directive 2016-38 6 Enclosure 2 process for the risk management framework (RMF), as defined in reference n, and training (as required), completion of the statement of objective/statement of work, initiation of contracting activities, coordination of service level agreement (SLA) coordination, initiation of CSP hosting option service, and transfer of funds or execution of military interdepartmental purchase request.
b. Phase 2: Mission Execution
(1) Step 5: Migration Execution. This step begins with initiation of the RMF authorization process and, in parallel, application owner migration execution activities.
This step ends after completion of migration and RMF core activities and establishment of continuous monitoring. Tasks completed during this phase include completion of RMF core activities, analysis and testing of candidate platforms, migration rollout, and cutover/go live.
(2) Step 6: Quality Assurance and Steady State. This step begins with preparation for acceptance and ends with decommissioning original equipment (in accordance with reference g) and closing the original hosting data center, if applicable.
Tasks completed during this phase include quality assurance, synchronization of SLAs, client acceptance, contract acceptance, and publication of lessons learned.
c. Future State. IPNs will continue to collapse into AEDCs as the Army completes the migration of applications to enterprise hosting environments. The Army will reduce its IPN inventory to 10 AEDCs by 2025, allowing for the development and maturation of the APC-E. The APC-E will be an on-premises, commercial cloud instantiation that is contractor-owned and contractor-operated. Installations that lose IPN capabilities will retain an ISN. Army commands retain the SPPNs necessary to meet mission requirements.
d. Governance Framework. The Secretary of the Army establishes the Migration Implementation and Review Council (MIRC) chaired by the Deputy CIO/G-6 and the Deputy Chief Management Officer. The MIRC reports to the Chair, AENC.
Membership includes selected representation from Army staff and commands as well as mission areas. The MIRC has the following objectives:
(1) Synchronize the implementation plan across the Army;
(2) Adjudicate and elevate requests to deviate from the implementation plan, as required;
(3) Advise and recommend changes to the implementation plan;
(4) Validate the implementation plan’s data center closure list (enclosure 4, table 2) and assess the operational effects of the closures on Army commands, including consideration of CBA for alternative application hosting environments; and
Army Directive 2016-38 7 Enclosure 2
(5) Report Army compliance with the implementation plan to the AENC.
Quarterly, the Chair, AENC reports implementation progress to the Senior Review Group. The CIO/G-6 Army Data Center Consolidation Plan team serves as the Secretariat and analyzes, tracks, and coordinates actions for the MIRC.
