Team members provide information assurance, information technology, and documentation support related to DoD Information Technology Security Certification and Accreditation Process.

The Mid-Atlantic Zone is home to the largest concentration of naval forces in the U.S. Navy. DI Team members have been supporting these forces and their respective infrastructure for over a quarter century. The Mid-Atlantic Zone, home to the Joint Forces Command, is an important consideration in selecting a team to support NAVSEA and its field activities as the Navy transitions from the current force to the force-after-next in an increasingly joint war-fighting environment. DI Team members are a plank owner at JFCOM and have extensive experience in support of the Joint Warfighter. DI Team members provide the full range of ISEA, AEA, and computer program maintenance activities and services for NSWCPHD Virginia Beach Detachment.
