The Logistics Data Gateway (LDG) is a DoD level utility that provides for easy web access to the current and historical data that flows through Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS)
and provide these data in an integrated fashion. These data, stored in an operational data store/data mart at DAAS, is available to a customer to do operational
research via the Internet, analyze data, create reports, track requisitions, monitor trends, and project future needs based on the true demands of the
customer. The customer can format their output to fit their exact needs and save their output securely on the DAAS server, or distribute the results,
as they desire. The LDG houses and provides access to the associated supporting logistics data files that are processed and used by the DAAS in the
performance of the mission essential functions that are required to edit, validate and route these DoD logistics transactions to their appropriate
destination. Standard Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) tools are used to allow users and applications access to information and data that resides at
the DAAS. These tools provide for the retrieval of required data from multiple data stores within DAAS and applying the business rules provided by
the individual customer to accomplish the translation and aggregation of DAAS managed data for the desired product.
By integrating the numerous types of DAAS managed data into this LDG operational data store/data-mart and having a web-enabled gateway, DAAS is more closely
positioned to support total asset visibility requirements. This DoD level capability is positioned to be responsive, flexible and precise in responding
to customer requirements.
The LDG also supports and provides the following benefits:
Provide for a more efficient mechanism to access and communicate these logistics data to the user, thereby providing the customer better information and allowing them to make more informed decisions;
To foster the strategic use of technology to manage logistics data as a joint DoD asset;
To provide standard definitions that will facilitate data sharing between government agencies;
To improve management decisions through the availability of more timely and accurate information;
To enable the integration of systems and data which will become easier with consistent definitions;
Minimize replication of data at multiple installations;
Provide customers the ability to access logistics data on-line without calling a functional support person;
Create a system, which is responsive, flexible and precise;
Provide improvements in reliability, maintainability and sustainability while reducing Total Ownership Cost (TOC);
Generate adhoc reports on demand, and
Generate demand statistics and forecast trends.
Decision support and business intelligence systems, such as the LDG, enables DAAS to provide an aggregate, and integrated source of data to
fulfill component, Headquarters, and Commander-in-Chief (CINC)-level of organizational requirements for aggregate logistics reporting needs. The LDG
is a vital element for supplying logistics data from one source that supports aggregate logistics reporting requirements for the DoD.

Rules of Behavior Acknowledgement
The following DLA General Rules of Behavior delineate the responsibilities of, and expectations for, all individuals with access to DLA systems, networks, and internal web sites.
What is the purpose of the Rules of Behavior?
The DLA Rules of Behavior summarize laws and guidelines from various DLA and Department of Defense (DOD) documents.
What are Rules of Behavior?
Rules of Behavior support accomplishing a Defense-in-Depth strategy of Information Assurance (IA) initiatives. These guidelines were established to hold users accountable for their actions and responsible for information security. Rules of Behavior establish standards of actions in recognition of the fact that knowledgeable users are the foundation of a successful security program. The Rules of Behavior highlight the need for users to understand that taking personal responsibility for the security of a computer and the data it contains is an essential part of their job.
Who is covered by these rules?
These rules are to be followed by the entire DLA workforce (civilian, military, and contractor) with access to DLA systems, networks, and internal web sites. This DLA workforce should be fully aware of, and abide by, DLA security policies as well as related DOD policies.
What are the penalties for Noncompliance?
Noncompliance to these rules will be enforced through sanctions commensurate with the level of infraction. Actions may result in removal of system access.
Misuse of Privacy Act data may result in civil and criminal charges and fines.
USER RESPONSIBILITIES
USERS WILL:
Safeguard the information contained in DLA systems from unauthorized or inadvertent modification, disclosure, destruction, denial of service, and use. DLA systems, networks, and internal web sites are for official use and authorized purposes in accordance with DOD 5500.7-R, Joint Ethics Regulation
http://www.defenselink.mil/dodgc/defense_ethics/ethics_regulation/index.html.
Information is subject to monitoring and security testing.
Screen-lock the computer or log off when leaving the work area.
Report known or suspected incidents immediately.
Use DLA computers only for lawful and authorized purposes.
Comply with safeguards, policies, and procedures to prevent unauthorized access to DLA computer systems.
Comply with terms of software licenses and only use licensed and authorized software. Do not install single-license software on shared hard drives or servers.

Not share Login IDs or account Passwords with anyone.
Recognize the accountability assigned to a Login ID and Password. Each user must have a unique ID to access DLA systems. Recognize that Login IDs identify an individual's actions on DLA systems and the Internet. Individual user activity is recorded, including sites and files accessed on the Internet.
Use authorized virus scanning software on the workstation or PC and the home computer. Know the source before using diskettes or downloading files. Scan files for viruses before opening them.
Know your data and properly classify and protect all data inputs and outputs according to their sensitivity and value.

Learn about information security to help the Information Assurance Officer (IAO) and Terminal Area Security Officer (TASO). Numbers alone make users the most important security asset. Compared to one IAO or TASO per DLA application or system, users offer many eyes and ears to detect threats to DLA information systems.
