  2-174. DODIN operations personnel operate and secure the network to achieve information advantage
  supporting Army and joint missions. Unlike many missions considered successful at a defined completion
  date, DODIN operations are ongoing. The mission requires continuous support to achieve success.
  2-175. DODIN operations allow commanders to employ network-enabled capabilities to shape and
  influence their areas of operations. For the Army, DODIN operations consists of three essential tasks:
  * Network management and enterprise systems management—install, operate, and maintain
  Army communications and computer networks, systems, and applications to achieve information
  advantage. Network management provides networked services with the desired quality and
  availability. Enterprise systems management provides day-to-day management of information
  systems, elements of systems, and services, including operating systems, databases, and end-user
  systems. Network management and enterprise systems management correspond to, and nest
  within, the joint task of DODIN enterprise management.
  * Cybersecurity—provides end-to-end protection to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and
  availability, as well as protection against unauthorized access. The cybersecurity functions are—
  identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. Organizations manage cybersecurity risk by
  organizing information, implementing the risk management framework, addressing
  vulnerabilities, and improving security by learning from past activities. Cybersecurity in the
  DODIN-A is the same as cybersecurity across the wider DODIN.
  * Information dissemination management and content staging—emplace, manage, provide, and
  restore information services to enable information and knowledge management. Information
  dissemination management supports effective knowledge management so the right information
  reaches the right users at the right time, in a usable format. Content staging compiles, catalogs,
  and caches information. The Army task of information dissemination management and content
  staging corresponds to, and nests within, the joint task of DODIN content management.
  Information dissemination management and content staging consist of the technologies,
  techniques, processes, policies, and procedures to provide warfighters—
   Awareness of relevant, accurate information.
   Automated access to newly revealed or recurring information.
   Timely, efficient, delivery of information in a usable format.
   The DODIN operations essential tasks take place at the strategic, operational, and tactical
  levels and support all warfighting and business functions. DODIN operations enable network
  and system availability, information protection, and timely information delivery across
  strategic, operational, and tactical boundaries.
   Network and information system availability. Ensuring availability of system and network
  resources. This includes providing for continued operation in a degraded environment, self-
  healing, and eliminating critical failure points.
   Information delivery. Providing required information to users, planners, and decision makers.
  DODIN operations personnel continuously monitor the network to ensure information
  transfer is timely and network throughput and performance meet user requirements.
  2-176. Figure 2-2 on page 2-34 shows the DODIN operations critical tasks with their individual and
  combined effects. Network management and enterprise systems management (DODIN enterprise
  management) consist of steps to configure, allocate, process, connect, route, flow, account for, and maintain
  network capabilities. Information dissemination management and content staging (DODIN content
  management) allow users to retrieve, cache, compile, catalog, and distribute information to support planning
  and decision making. Cybersecurity provides the means to resist and recognize intrusions and to recover and
  reconstitute network capabilities. The net effect of integrating the three tasks is information advantage. Users
  get timely, protected information to meet their critical information requirements. Refer to ATP 6-02.71 for
  more information about DODIN operations in Army networks.
