Join The Vanguard
Help shape the next generation of Navy HR tools before they reach the Fleet.
We build software around how Sailors actually serve. Join The Vanguard to get early access, test features, and help shape what ships next.
The Problem
Navy HR software was not built around the Sailor experience.
Sailors manage careers through disconnected, manual, and desktop-only legacy systems. This causes lost time, unclear status, and constant friction.
Systems Friction
Too many disconnected systems for one unified career journey.
Manual Delay
Too many slow manual routing steps between request and final resolution.
Redundant Inputs
Too much repetitive data entry across multiple legacy platforms.
Zero Visibility
Too little clear visibility into process status and what action happens next.
What Is The Vanguard?
The Vanguard is the Fleet voice inside the build.
The Vanguard is an active feedback channel between the Fleet and the DSG build team. We test early features, identify workflow friction, and refine tools before they scale.
- ✓ Test early features before wider release.
- ✓ Identify what works, what breaks, and what is missing.
- ✓ Help shape product priorities.
- ✓ Surface command-level and deckplate-level friction.
- ✓ Connect high-performing digital talent with the DSG ecosystem.
