                The Department of the Air Force **Digital Campaign Guide** is an information strongbox for transformation efforts. The repository is a focal point for policy, training information, best practices, news, and resources relating to the digital transformation.
“The digital guide is the authoritative source of information about products being worked for the Department of the Air Force Digital Campaign. It provides the most current guidance on the transformation of programs throughout the command,” said Robert Bond, Air Force Materiel Command Systems Engineering Division plans and programs engineer.digital hangar illustrationThe Air Force Digital Campaign Guide is two SharePoint sites.

The Air Force Digital Campaign Guide is two SharePoint sites. The guide supports the Digital Campaign and the **Digital Transformation Office** by providing a central location for updates.
The Department of the Air Force Digital Guide was created in September 2020, and the intent was to provide the champions and leads of the Digital Campaign lines of effort a way to communicate efficiently with functional communities across the Air Force.
Another objective was sharing information across the lines of effort along with an opportunity to explain how each goal is being accomplished.
“It opens the door for comments and critiques so that the Digital Campaign team can learn as we transform the Department of the Air Force,” Bond said.
The campaign was first **initiated** as a coalition of willing individuals from across the Air Force and **Space Force**, broken into the following lines of effort: Integrated Digital Environments (IT Infrastructure and Models/Tools), Standards and Data Architecture, Lifecycle Strategies and Processes, Policy and Guidance, and Workforce and Culture Changes.
There are two locations for the Digital Campaign Guide.
The first location, accessible only by Air Force representatives, can be found **here**. It houses data, up to controlled unclassified information.
The second site is available on the **All Partners Access Network**. It contains unclassified materials which have been cleared for public release. Utilizing the APAN allows the Department of the Air Force to share the work from the Digital Campaign with industry, allied partners and all others in the Department of the Air Force.
The only major difference between the sites is the level of security of the information provided on each page.hitchhiker graphicThe "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Digital Engineering 'Galaxy,'" by Thomas Lockhart breaks down the Air Force quest for digital transformation into three main bodies of knowledge: integration, understanding and cultural change. Key to the continued progress in the digital realm is continued collaboration with digital pathfinders, academia and industry, where lessons learned from others can act as a springboard for future efforts across the domain.

The Digital Guide site is accessed on a regular basis by users from all over the Air Force. The Air Force SharePoint page, and the public page on APAN, are updated at least monthly with new videos, product files and informational materials.
The top of the webpage tracks the latest in digital transformation news, upcoming events and success stories from across the Air Force. A weekly situation report on the Digital Campaign lines of effort and working groups is also provided on the page.
“The Air Force Digital Guide is a very young, living document which is growing as fast as products are being worked by the transformation efforts,” Bond said. “Check back in periodically to see the work of the Digital Campaign as the guide evolves.”FS
