Command Chief Data and Analytics Office

Our Knowledge Management (KM) office is evolving into a new organization called the Command Chief Data and Analytics Office (C2DAO). The Command Chief Data and Analytics Officer is SES Mr. Jason Barrett here at TRADOC. The C2DAO is one of 3 Divisions within the TRADOC Deputy Chief of Staff G6/CIO section at TRADOC. Currently, Dr. Mike Prevou is assigned as the Deputy C2DAO and Chief Knowledge Officer. Working with data is nothing new to KM, it has always been part of the way we enable the flow of data, information and knowledge through, and across the organization, to facilitate analysis and generate actionable insights that drive continuous improvement and informed decision-making. We are organized into 2 Branches: The Decision Optimization Branch consists of the Operational Data Teams and will be capable of managing up to six to eight (6-8) major Data/Knowledge, Process Improvement or Training projects simultaneously once we reach FOC in DEC of 2025. The Governance and Oversight Branch provides the Strategy, Policy and Plans (SPP) for the data centric TRADOC while the Training Education and Professional Development (TEPD)Team focuses on upskilling and reskilling the current TRADOC KM and analytical professionals for the new mission, as well as upskilling the general TRADOC workforce in digital and data literacy. Our contract team provides direct support to each functional area at HQ as well as limited direct support to several of the COEs and shared services to all COEs that request help.We have assembled a high performing team here at TRADOC HQ and across the enterprise and we plan to help upskill and reskill our legacy skills to meet the challenges of the future. We are looking forward to the journey, and the new challenges as we transform the Army.
