I was a communications officer (Signal) in the army and can confirm with 100% certainty that the military has been in charge of WH IT since at least 2016 as I had a soldier selected for an assignment there which required some engagement from me as his commander. I can't tell you much beyond that because I just don't know, but the military has been in charge of WH digital comms since before Trump.
Not all day.. but definitely in April.
Something awesome about heading down to the Signal School and scoring tix to a round at the Master's (even a practice round).
Your website seems to be about secure communication technology only. Also, your website only talks about "OPPORTUNITIES for military service members", not that it is controlled by the military.
Interdasting that the application link for WHCA Navy personnel (19% of the allotted billets) include several Cryptologic Technician ratings, including CTI (Interpreter) with Russian language skills.
WHCA supports more than just events and video. WHCA handles all secure comms which use MIL grade encryption systems (STU, SAT, KIV, etc.) which require MIL operators.
Verification would be great!
I don't think so, but even if it turns out that it was always controlled by the WH, then the question would be: Why??

Very cool. I️ was Signal corp, too. Enlisted. Miss those days.
Former Signal here. Ft. Gordon all day.

My friends in the SCIF at work right now (not WHCA anymore), but I think this will explain:
https://www.whitehousecommsagency.mil/ <<<-- .MIL
The big question is: Who is controlling who?

There is something much deeper going on.
The domain name for WHCA is a dot MIL address. WHCA is run but the military at the behest of the WH.
Yup.
I know the guy that was in charge of setting up WH travel comms & logistics, including mobile scifs.
He was obviously military.
Military is in charge of president's travel. Why not the comms? Duh.

Another thing I noted was several SEABEE ratings (BU, SW) which would suggest to me to that they group the Camp David support staff into their fold.
Only the military is capable of providing secure comms for the White House.
DoD operates the WH website for the same reason the Air Force flies the President around.
I'm sure they have everything on Evergreen and Renegade's private servers before they were destroyed.
