The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Asked vs spent: the PB2019 book requested $3.01M for FY2019; the PB2021 book reported $9.89M as actual total obligation authority — $6.88M above the request. 9.9 − 3.0 = 6.9 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Defense Operations Security Initiative (DOSI)
This RDT&E program supports the Department's initiatives to Defend the Homeland, Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage, and Taking Care of People. This program also supports DoD Data Strategy, specifically enabling next-generation approaches to protect data as it is a strategic asset. The Defense Operations Security Initiative (DOSI) establishes and leads the Department's next-generation Operations Security (OPSEC) capability development and affiliated investment strategy. Investments support DoD's current and emerging OPSEC capability gaps, including countering advances in non-U.S. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities and denying the understanding of U.S. capability, capacity, readiness, and critical technology and information from adversaries. These investments spur and accelerate Department innovation and preserve U.S. technology superiority. DOSI analysis and engineering lead the community's ability to sustain and maximize technology advantage as they are transitioned to Service and Agency programs for sustainment, maintenance, and capacity programming. Test and evaluation analyses establish measure and countermeasure effectiveness in current and emerging operational environments.

Results of tests and evaluations enable the community to identify OPSEC measure and countermeasure effectiveness in current and emerging operational environments.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (1)
Defense Operations Security Initiative
RDT&E investments denied or complicated the ability of our adversary to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to understand U.S. capabilities, capacity, readiness, and critical technology and information. Past investments accelerated cutting-edge Department innovation toward preserving U.S. information and technology superiority. DOSI's analyses and engineering activities enabled the OPSEC community's ability to sustain and maximize technological advantages.

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Defense Operations Security Initiative (DOSI). No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
