(S//SI) On March 23, SIGINT Director MG Quirk and BG Armor of NRO's SIGINT Programs
hosted a town meeting for the S2J (Weapons & Space) workforce. The meeting followed a
similar town meeting held earlier in the month for the Denver Security Operations Center
(DSOC) workforce. The gathering focused on the ongoing process of transferring the
TechSIGINT "center of gravity" from Ft Meade to Denver.
(S//SI) Generals Quirk and Armor described the strategy behind the move (see the article "
Status of the DSOC " for details), and also addressed some of the logistical and administrative
issues of interest to the workforce. Members of the Denver Integrated Product Team (IPT),
tasked with ensuring a smooth transition of the mission to Denver, also provided an update on
the many agreements, concept of operations, schedules, etc. currently being finalized. According
to IPT member Morrie Levine, all of the major documentation will be completed by April 5th for
presentation to Congress.
(S//SI) The presenters noted that although most of the TechSIGINT workforce will transition to
Denver in the coming years, a sizable presence (such as DEFSMAC and those working budgetary
matters, for example) will remain at Ft Meade. MG Quirk encouraged the workforce to challenge
their management to resolve any issues as they arise. Slides from the town meeting are
available for viewing.
