The Defense Information Systems Agency has unveiled an active-active site located on Hill Air Force Base in Davis County, Utah, that will provide security capabilities for the Department of Defense Information Network.
DISA said the Orion Cyber Operations Center-Hill is part of the agency’s broader command and control modernization efforts and will work to enable improved data resilience during emergencies.
“The Orion Cyber Operations Center’s active-active capability is another indicator that DISA is postured and prepared for any crisis, conflict or competition,” said Air Force Lt. Gen. Robert Skinner, director of DISA and a 2023 Wash100 awardee.
The facility is located within the Ogden Data Center, which houses other DISA offices and is intended to foster a shared environment and stronger team collaboration.
“The Orion Cyber Operations Center-Hill is a first within DISA where the agency’s two largest Operational Service Managers are collocated with the Global Service Desk and our Cybersecurity Service Providers,” said Army Col. Michael Reeder, commander of DISA Global Field Command.
Reeder’s office is responsible for defending the DODIN area of operations to enable continuous operational capabilities for the U.S. military and its mission partners.
