DepSECDef Work memo
"Creation of New 'Point of Presence' Defense Innovaiton Unit Experimental

SECDEF Ash Carter sent an email outlining his commitment to participate in the first session of the “Defense, Diplomacy, and Development” (D3) Innovation Summit – a series of events jointly held by the Department of Defense, Department of State, and the U.S. Agency for International Development. The first event in December will focus on the convergence of technological innovation with defense, diplomacy, and development objectives. Specifically, SECDEF Carter requested proposals from each of the Assistant Secretaries of Defense responding to the following prompt:
“New technologies are emerging daily, impacting not only the operations of how defense, diplomacy, and development are accomplished, but also the future operational environments of the United States, allies, and adversaries. U.S. policy will need to adapt to the impact of these technological changes and take advantage of new opportunities.”
On 09/04/2015, a separate email was sent outlining specifics of the deadline for submission (10/05/2015). Additionally, a document was released with submission guidelines indicating that the top six innovators from across DoS, DoD, and USAID would be selected to present to senior government leaders at the D3 Innovation Summit in December.

UDEPSEC Brad Carson released a memo to Service Assistant Secretaries for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (Army), Chief of Naval Personnel, Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (Air Force), and Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs (USMC) with revised draft of “Force of the Future Reform Proposals.” Tab C (Multi- Domain Reform Proposals) of this pre-decisional draft document outlined several areas relevant to military health innovation including: (1) Increase Digital Innovation, (2) Foster a Culture of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, (3) Employ Big Data to Inform Personnel Decisions. The document is marked pre-decisional and current state is unknown.

1: Readiness

2: Future Army

3: Take Care of the Troops
