Among DoD leadership, eyes are now wide open to value of telework

You have a GCE here.

I am DoD, and have done both telework and teleconferencing extensively, for many years. It's very complex and very secure, and I'm sure it must cost a whole bunch (we own our own satellites...). I can guarantee that no vacuum cleaner company can do what we do.

We do it to increase the speed of our organizational processes (aka OODA loop). But it does not actually replace travel, rather it supplements it. Business travel still happens, for purposes related to human relationships.

Just like the vacuum cleaner salesman won't be making cold calls on zoom.
