Will there be more training to come? Stay tuned, says Lt. Edward Costa, assistant CG-6 program manager for the DoD365 rollout. While this is the last round of DoD365 Boot Camp for now, “the C5I community is exploring options to provide additional training to help users leverage the full capabilities of DoD365,” he said. In addition, Costa noted, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has invited all DoD365 users to attend a round of live webinars they are hosting in December.

What’s the DISA training about? The sessions are similar to the Coast Guard’s Boot Camp series. However, some additional topics are being covered to include a “Power Platform Week” which covers training on Microsoft Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and a round of Ask Me Anything sessions.

External guest users just need to copy and paste the meeting URL into the browser (Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge recommended), click “cancel” when prompted to open in MS Teams and select “watch on the web”. Facilitators will admit Coast Guard users into the session.
