The Office of the DoD Chief Information Officer approved DoDI 8440.02 for publication. This instruction establishes policy, assigns responsibilities, and prescribes procedures for deploying and using IPv6 in Department of Defense information systems. The transition to IPv6 is critical to ensure availability of address space for an increasing number of connected devices. One of the many reasons for the transition is to address the Internet of Things (IoT) and future battlefields in which all weapons and fighters have an IPv6 address. This brings the network onto the battlefield, something the Department has been doing since 2005. The policy maintains momentum for transition, which has accelerated since the fall of 2019 across the federal government with the publication of Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-21-07. Implementation of the policy will harmonize approach and pace of DoD IPv6 implementation.
