What is DISA? - ANS-a set of standards, Policies, assignment responsibilities, instructions and
procedures, Processes and management or technical parameters and users guides for a
specific role or technical responsibility.
Define the "GIG." - ANS-A globally interconnected, end-to-end set of information capabilities,
associated processes, and personnel for collecting, processing, storing, disseminating and
managing information on demand to warfighters, policy makers, and support personnel
Name 3 DISA Circulars - ANS-SERS, Radio-Frequency Management and use, GIG Tech
Control
Name 3 systems a 3D1X2 repairs and troubleshoots? - ANS-Voice, Data, Video
What is the responsibility of a Node Site Coordinator - ANS-provides operational control and
technical supervision over GIG facilities within a designated geographical area if a Facility
Control office has not been utilized in DISA CONUS
What is the purpose of a historical record - ANS-They are designed to provide technicians and
item managers with an accurate portrayal of significant actions, modifications, issues, and
overhauls
Give an example when to use a Status Report - ANS-report is the Hazardous Condition Report
which informs DISA of an imminent loss or degradation of a DISN circuit
Explain the difference between a TCTO and a TCNO? - ANS-TCTO is a modifying military
systems, Where TCNO is s a standardized mechanism to issue one "order"
When would you submit a TSO? - ANS-When you need authorization to start, change, or
discontinue circuits, trunks, links, or systems.
Give two examples of Maintenance Tracking software? - ANS-a. Remedy
b. IMDS
Give three examples of items a technician would check when performing a PMI? - ANS-general
housekeeping measures; cleanliness; proper rack installation, grounding, and bonding; and a
check for corrosion
When are technicians required to use a Technical Order? - ANS-while performing any type of
work or maintenance on AF equipment
, Define "Trouble Ticket?" - ANS-track all changes (i.e. incidents or malfunctions, time compliance
items, etc) to equipment/systems, operating system software, and application software.
What is an Outage - ANS-Unavailable service/equipment not operational or FMC (Fully Mission
Capable)
Give three examples of items a technician would check when performing a PMI? - ANS-a.
general housekeeping measures; cleanliness; proper rack installation, grounding, and bonding;
and a check for corrosion
DISA MISSION - ANS-a Combat Support Agency, provides, operates, and assures command
and control, information sharing capabilities, and a globally accessible enterprise information
infrastructure in direct support to joint Warfighters, National level leaders, and other mission and
coalition partners across the full spectrum of operations.
DISA VISION - ANS-Information Superiority in defense of our Nation.
DISA Target Objective - ANS-enterprise information environment comprised of a secure
connection to a computing environment provided by both commercial and government
computing centers and big data storage,
DISA Strategic Goals - ANS-Evolve a consolidated, collaborative, and secure joint information
environment, enabling end-to-end information sharing and interdependent enterprise services
across the Department that are seamless, interoperable, efficient, and responsive to joint and
coalition Warfighter requirements.
DISA - ANS-Who will lead the development and evolution of JC2 capabilities used to plan and
execute the full range of joint, interagency, and multinational military operations
USCYBERCOM, - ANS-Through our partnership with ________________, evolve our cyber and
network capabilities to function under dynamic conditions responding to increasing warfighter
information requirements, increased demand for operational efficiencies, and shifts in the global
defense posture.
DISA Circular - ANS-is a set of standards, Policies, assignment responsibilities, instructions and
procedures, Processes and management or technical parameters and users guides for a
specific role or technical responsibility.
SERS - ANS-Prescribes policy and assigns responsibility for the System Equipment Reporting
System
Radio-Frequency Management and use - ANS-Prescribes policy, highlights procedures, and
assigns responsibilities for electromagnetic (EM) spectrum management and use within the
Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)
