PEO Chérie Smith delivers her perspective for March 2020. It was my pleasure to announce in our Town Hall last month that former PM IPPS-A Darby McNulty will be joining the headquarters staff as a Highly Qualified Executive (HQE) leading our Transition to Sustainment effort. Discussion during Town Hall also focused on accomplishments thus far in our lines of effort: Talent and Stakeholder Management and ERP and Network Integration.

Victor Hernandez, product manager for Installation Information Infrastructure Modernization Program (I3MP), recently traveled to Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras, to review current IT modernization efforts. The goal was to synchronize with the major stakeholders on the progress of the Soto Cano IT modernization effort.

In November 2019, the Army deployed its Health Assessment Lite Operations (HALO) software to medical forces in Afghanistan. HALO is a digitized version of the Standard Form (SF) 600 used by DoD medical personnel to document patient treatment for wounded, injured or sick patients. It was developed by the Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4), the Army acquisition program with primary responsibility for providing Army operational health IT capabilities for deployed medical forces.
