Congressman Harris Applauds Army Decision to Establish ADOC at Aberdeen Proving Ground

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) today applauded the U.S. Army's decision to establish the Army Data Operations Command (ADOC) at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) in Maryland's First District, after advocating-at the request of the Army Alliance-for APG to serve as the command's permanent home.

In a February 24 letter to Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, Congressman Harris made the case for APG, highlighting its unmatched capabilities to support ADOC's mission and urging the Army to permanently base the command there.

Statement from Congressman Harris:

"ADOC belongs at Aberdeen Proving Ground. This decision puts a critical national security capability in Maryland's First District, where the expertise and infrastructure already exist to get the job done, and reinforces APG's role at the forefront of data, cyber, and network operation."
