Previously all of the Army's 32 commands ran separate email systems, so 2 is a big improvement.

Email is about the only compatible thing between these systems.

When full out war starts, they might have wished they still had 32 different im-house email systems when Google or Microsoft stops working.

Presumably most of those 32 were already hosted by the big boys (Google, MS), but just paid for and administered under separate contracts.

How long ago was that a thing? I got in in the 2000s and there was only a single email system for the entire Army. 10 years ago they moved the whole DoD to DEE.
