President Trump signed an executive order renaming the US Digital Service as the United States DOGE Service, spearheaded by Elon Musk. This initiative aims to reduce federal bureaucracy and spending while modernizing technology and workforce across federal agencies. Each agency is required to create a 'DOGE Team' to support this agenda, led by a yet-to-be-named administrator. The program emphasizes public expectations for digital services, aiming to enhance the government’s technological landscape through a new Software Modernization Initiative to update IT infrastructure.
The office was founded "to meet the public's expectations, or help the agencies meet these raised expectations of the public," when it comes to digital presence.
Trump's Jan. 20 order outlines a temporary organization within the larger USDS office that will be led by a to-be-named administrator.
The new USDS office is tasked with a "Software Modernization Initiative" to update software, network and IT infrastructure across the federal government.
There’s still a lot that’s unknown about DOGE but there is now more insight into what it may look like moving forward.
