DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE RECORDS MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
The 2023 DoD Records Strategy makes clear that records are data and will be curated, automated, and governed. Treating records in this way will increase trust in data and analytics products. The DoD Records Strategy is a plan to modernize the way the DoD manages its records. To realize the vision of the strategy, the DoD needs to know what information it has, how to access that information, and how long to keep it. By creating robust file creation, storage, and retention procedures is crucial to a comprehensive records management strategy. These procedures address multiple aspects, from standardizing document creation to ensuring secure storage and setting retention periods in line with legal and business requirements. The strategy memorandum is available at (DoD Records Strategy - 10 May 2023) and at the JITC Records Management web site.
