Information Technology Officer

 

 

For unit IT Officers:

CAPR 120-1 is the primary resource for INFOSEC information.

OPSEC information can be found here.  This includes links to CAP training material and DoD training and awareness material.

Federal guidelines for operations in the CAP.GOV domain (such as unit websites) are available in eServices as part of the Internet Operations application.  Click on the Federal guidelines link under "CAP.GOV Information."

Unit IT Officers should maintain regular working relationships with the Public Affairs, Logistics, and Administration teams.

  • Public Affairs - Records of unit internet operations are maintained in eServices using the Internet Operations application.  Unit ITOs have access to this application and should record unit social media accounts here.  The use of these accounts, however, is a PA activity.
  • Logistics - CAP-assigned computers are included in the inventory responsibilities of the unit Logistics Officer.
  • Administration - In an SUI, it falls to the Admin team to ensure that back up plans and processes are in place for electronic files.  While there aren't specific inspection items for IT in an SUI, the ITO can be extremely beneficial in developing and executing these backup plans.
