Purpose

The Army Cross Domain Management Office (CDMO), within the Cybersecurity Directorate of the Chief Information Officer (CIO)/G-6, Army, sets the guidance for this Department of the Army (DA) pamphlet (Pam). The Army CDMO is the cross domain support element (CDSE) for the Army, and provides cross domain solution (CDS) oversight at the Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) level. This DA Pam provides guidance on cross domain approval processes, and procedures, on how to connect a CDS between differing security domains. It also helps Army organizations to obtain CDS capabilities effectively and efficiently, and to steer manual data transfers across security domains, when a CDS is not available.
