ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, Ill. – How many times a day do you join a video conference, take a phone call, send an instant message, or respond to an email? None of these communication capabilities would be possible for the U.S. Army Sustainment Command workforce without the G6 (Information Management) directorate.

ASC provides soldiers across the globe with the right equipment at the right place and time and in the right condition. A massive logistical undertaking such as this would not be possible without effective and efficient communication, allowing leaders to stay informed of worldwide operations and make decisions quickly, tracking movement of troops and equipment, and more.

G6 provides the command with both classified and unclassified communication capabilities – computers and monitors, mobile devices, video conferencing, and satellite communications – and software tools for productivity and virtual collaboration – Microsoft Office and Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and ASC mission-unique applications – while maintaining a strong cybersecurity posture to ensure that the command’s information and systems are protected.
