According to DoDI 8500.2 - ALL information systems should have an IAM. The IAM will most often be the IAM for a bunch of systems or for an entire network or group of networks. The bigger the assignment, the more likely the IAM is to also delegate portions of the responsibilities to other lower level IAM's and IAO's as well as to system administrators, but SOMEBODY has to be the ultimate IAM for the system for it to receive accreditation under DIACAP.
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is responsible for ensuring that each DoD information system has a designated Information Assurance Manager (IAM) with the necessary support, authority, and resources to fulfill their responsibilities for information assurance. This is to ensure that the information systems adhere to the DoD's security requirements and guidelines.
