“CACI is helping the Army National Guard deploy  efficient, easy-to-use distributed learning resources that  reduce our training expenses, foster collaboration, and  increase the number of soldiers trained and prepared to  meet today’s critical defense mission.” -Colonel Roosevelt Barfield, Chief Training Division The Army National Guard Information Access The Army National Guard Now more than ever, a strong, well- prepared National Guard is essential to America’s homeland security. And CACI is helping the Army National Guard stay trained and ready to deploy—any time and anywhere. Traditionally, Guardsmen are civilians from all walks of life who serve their country, state, and community on a part-time basis. Keeping this geographically dispersed force trained and equipped to protect life and property and to defend the U.S. and its interests all over the globe is a monumental task. Because training time is precious, the Guard increasingly uses inno- vative education methods like distributed learning to reach hundreds of thousands of soldiers across 54 U.S. states and territories. CACI is playing an instrumental role in supporting the Guard’s distributed learning initiative—providing technical assistance, program management, and monitoring and tracking, as well as managing courseware developers to deliver voice and video, interactive CD, and Web training to units worldwide. Beyond distributed learning, CACI is also supporting the Army National Guard’s aggressive efforts to enhance services and reduce costs in a host of areas: providing consolidated software mainten- ance for personnel, financial, and logistical data management; supporting Army models that build training requirements for air and ground vehicles; integrating standard Army personnel systems; supplying media planning services for the National Guard’s state recruitment advertising programs; and implementing CACI’s RM Online resource management system.
