[MILITARY] 'JOE N. BALLARD Lieutenant General, USA Commanding' ' 20 April 1998 MEMORANDUM FOR Commanders/Directors, Major Subordinate Commands, Labs, Field Operating Activities, and HQ Staff Principals SUBJECT: "Year 2000" or "Y2K" and Infrastucture 1. Reference memorandum, CEIM-P, 28 Mar 98, subject: Ensuringthat the Corps Remains Mission Capable in the New Millennia. 2. By this time I expect all Commanders are aware of the "Year2000" or "Y2K" problem. Because there are potential weaknesses within our information technology and infrastructure that threaten our functioning as a premier engineering organization, I have appointed the USACE CIO as the Program Manager for Year 2000 compliance. All Commanders will be required to certify that their activities are fully compliant. 3. I am particularly concerned with infrastructure issues. Corps infrastructure must be tested for compliance. Examples of vulnerable components include: floating plant and power generation capacity; water control and monitoring systems; elevators; telephone systems; security systems; and surveying, geographic information and global positioning equipment and software. Equally important, contracts for customer infrastructure (e.g. construction, etc.) probably include Y2K-sensitive technology. 4. Y2K POC is Mr. Meredith Walters, CEIM-P, 202 761-4732, meredith.c.walters@usace.army.mil. Y2K information is available on the Corps Year 2000 page at: usace.army.mil //s// JOE N.
