Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to add a new system of records, DSCA 05, entitled ``Defense Institute of Security Assistance Management (DISAM) Information System Mission (DISM).'' The DISAM Information Mission System is a web based portal designed to hold several applications for the purposes of efficient administration of students, and the effective management of DISAM personnel and guest lecturers. The portal also provides DISAM personnel the ability to submit travel requests and travel arrangements. Finally, the web based portal uses a relational database to record, manage and report information about students, personnel, and travel, including reports of annual training. Records are also used as a management tool for statistical analysis, tracking, reporting to Congress, evaluating program effectiveness, and conducting research.
