STIG-Compliant Cisco Zero Trust & Security at Hill Air Force Base, UT

Hill AFB near Ogden spans roughly a million acres and is the Air Force's F-35 fielding center, home to both the active-duty 388th and Air Force Reserve 419th Fighter Wings flying the jet side by side, plus the Ogden Air Logistics Complex that sustains F-35, F-16, A-10, and Minuteman III systems for the entire fleet.

01Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)

Mission-ready Cisco for Hill Air Force Base

Accelerating Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) readiness at Hill Air Force Base in Ogden with STIG-compliant Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Secure Firewall — secure, high-throughput data processing for the U.S. Air Force.

02On the installation

What buying Cisco at Hill Air Force Base looks like

The 75th Air Base Wing supports more than 50 mission partners on an installation that combines fifth-generation fighter operations with the Ogden Air Logistics Complex's worldwide engineering and depot support for aircraft, missiles, and ICBM components — a mix that drives demand for both flightline-grade wireless and industrial-strength wired networking on the maintenance and logistics side. The co-located active and reserve fighter wings add a layer most single-mission bases don't have: two wings sharing ranges, maintenance infrastructure, and increasingly software-defined weapon systems that depend on secure, low-latency networks.

Buyers across Hill's fighter wings, the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center detachment, and the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center element on base work within the same TAA and DoDIN APL framework as elsewhere in Air Force Materiel Command, using GPC for routine purchases and GSA Schedule or SEWP for larger infrastructure buys. Because Minuteman III sustainment work touches the nuclear enterprise, network segmentation and STIG compliance carry extra scrutiny — Cisco ISE for access control and Secure Firewall for enclave separation are relevant wherever depot, nuclear-sustainment, and flightline networks need to stay demonstrably apart.

05Questions buyers ask

Hill Air Force Base procurement FAQ

Q1Does having both an active-duty and reserve fighter wing on one base change procurement?

The 388th and 419th Fighter Wings share ranges and much of their maintenance infrastructure but maintain separate active-duty and Reserve Command funding lines, so a vendor may see parallel but distinct purchase requests for what looks like the same flightline network buildout.

Q2What network standards apply to Minuteman III sustainment work at the Ogden Air Logistics Complex?

Work tied to the nuclear enterprise carries additional access-control and segmentation requirements on top of standard DoDIN APL and STIG expectations, which makes Cisco ISE-based network access control and clearly segmented enclaves a practical fit for keeping nuclear-sustainment traffic separated from general depot and administrative networks.

Q3What's the typical purchase path for smaller IT needs at Hill's fighter wings?

Squadron and group-level purchases under the micro-purchase threshold commonly move through GPC, while larger infrastructure — flightline access points, Catalyst switch refreshes — routes through GSA Schedule or SEWP task orders managed by base contracting or the AFLCMC detachment on site.
