Joseph Monaco, CSM MICCE is one of the best examples in my 25 year career that I have ever seen of Digitial Transformation and creating a highly productive and effieicent operational capability for our Warfighters!!! I Love working with this group everyday!!! It makes coming to work emotionally charged and know we are doing something for the greater good of the nation. #AMC #Mobility #HumanMachineInterface #MissionInMotion

Last week I briefed squadron leaders on Air Mobility Command’s Digital Transformation efforts for JADC2. Two key points of reflection: 1️⃣ I’m blessed to be leading DevOps pipelines where I'm also an end user of the delivered software. I serve as a Senior on 618th Air Operations Center (Tanker Airlift Control Center)'s execution floor, where we oversee more than 1,200 air mobility & 300 ground support missions annually directly supporting the highest priorities of national defense. Every ~3.9 minutes our aircraft move & we persistently have Airmen setting conditions for success in 25+ nations. ⤷ Leading up to shift, I leverage the 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐎𝐩𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝐌𝐈𝐂𝐂𝐄) to build a picture of what is happening across planning, allocation, & operations. What is happening now that will “eat my lunch” later as the commander’s conduit to Rapid Global Mobility execution? ✅ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐎𝐩𝐬 provides me flat, fast, & secure comms across multiple echelons to approve waivers, dissect situation reports, monitor weather & intel, & report status up to the highest levels of defense leadership. ⤷ 𝐀 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐭 🤖 provides me real-time updates of missions, communicating priority, locations, maintenance status, relevant weather, & transition criteria for launch. The 🤖 orients stakeholders associated to the mission & adjusts when the operational environment changes or a human directs. Through arduous change management, this simplistic approach to data integration has been transformational for >18K Airmen & 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒐 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆. ⤷ 𝐀𝐧 𝐀𝐈 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 provides me real-time insights for situational awareness, ultimately framing future decisions. The agent employs multiple AFTRANS-trained LLMs for queried summaries of where stress, risk, & lingering issues exist. Humans communicate when there are problems. I can summarize previous hours of activity in less than 15 seconds & then drill into specific areas to view empirical data. Starting my shift I'm ready to solve problems, also retaining bandwidth to tackle new problems that WILL emerge. ✅ 𝐀 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲-𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐔𝐈 provides me visualization & cueing of all missions through precise fusion of mission data with geo-rectified data feeds. Within seconds, I see issues with diplomatic clearances, aircraft maintenance, enroute/airfield weather, airfield status, flight diverts, & emerging intel related to our missions. We then re-focus limited resources on what is happening NOW, with follow on decisive action, if needed. 2️⃣ At the unit level, the enterprise can leverage these tools today because of how we implemented DoD Data strategies. While the MICCE is tuned for TACC, JADC2 moves seamlessly across command echelons well because of ChatOps, our data architecture, & 🤖 / AI Agent training. #AgileDevOps #HumanisticApproach #DigitalTransformation
