VoiceOfTheGuard 2.0

Current ExtranetVoiceOfTheGuard.com is a tutorial site, accessible on all

networks (government or private) and all all devices (PC/MAC, Tablets, iPads, iPhones, Smartphones and Blackberries).

AGAUS.groupsite.com is a blog site.

The Groupsite domain/website does not universally work on government networks without the government systems severely hindering the appearance and functionality of the website.

The Groupsite domain/website functionality is desired, but must work on the government network the same as it properly does on a private network.
