DISA History Minute: DISA in the Cold War

In 1971, the Defense Communications Agency, now the Defense Information Systems Agency, was given control of the Minimum Essential Equipment Communications Network. During the Cold War, the world teetered on the brink of mutually assured destruction from the global nuclear threat. Both the United States and Soviet Union stockpiled nuclear weapons around the world, and we recognized a need to establish a minimum communications network for the executive branch to reach our forces in the event of a nuclear attack. DCA managed the MEECN, which included ground, satellite and shipboard systems to provide the minimum essential communications required to defend ourselves and our allies. Today, the MEECN continues to create a network for resolution of nuclear damage to normal communications pipelines. About DISA DISA is the U.S. Department of Defense's premier IT agency, responsible for maintaining the DOD's global information technology infrastructure. As a combat support agency, DISA conducts operations for the U.S. military to enable lethality across all warfighting domains - on land, at sea, in the air, space, and cyberspace - in defense of the United States of America. DISA also provides communication services to the White House in support of the President of the United States. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ➟ 📹 DISA video by Christopher W.
