• The DoD HA/DR information sharing problem statement
• Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation JCTD
• Unclassified Information Sharing Environment
• Other Venues
• Experiment and OASD (NII) Goals
• OASD (NII) Specific Objectives– Planning, Technical, Cultural and Processes/Policy
• Other Thoughts: MDA & NGOs

Integrated ICT SupportDirectorate Vision and Mission
Vision: A DoD enterprise that enables rapid, agile, and persistent sharing of civil-military information and situational awareness to facilitate coordination and cooperation with the US Government interagency and external mission participants across the full range of irregular warfare and stability operations (including Humanitarian Civic Assistance).
Mission: To develop and oversee policy that shapes ICT enablement of irregular warfare, stability operations, and theater security cooperation (including Humanitarian Civic Assistance). Identify ICT gaps, recommends solutions, and assess the Department’s progress towards improved information sharing and more effective civil-military coordination, situational awareness, and decision making. Engage with DoD and the US Government Interagency, and external organizations to facilitate resolution of ICT support issues during DoD response operations
3UNCLASSIFIED
• The Combatant Commands (COCOMs) identified a need for more effective information exchange and collaboration between the Department of Defense (DoD) and its non-traditional partners:– Restricted ability to “connect and collaborate”– Independent organizations with separate guidance, resources, protocols, and
philosophies– Limited sharing of information, assessments, and plans across extended
partnership network is limited – exchanges are “ad hoc”– Required extensive operator intervention for stand-alone tools and legacy
systems• Ineffective communication can lead to failed programs, wasted resources, longer
response times, and duplicate or counter-productive actions between responders
Problem Statement Resulting from 2004 Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina
4UNCLASSIFIED
• Initiative to facilitate information sharing among distributed organizations in support of complex efforts / operations / missions– Facilitate non-classified information sharing between United States
Government (USG) agencies– Enable collaboration with extended partners
• Primary goals– Non-classified, Web-enabled systems– Social networking among distributed participants
• Roadmap– Initial focus: on baseline information sharing capabilities– Follow-on work: to integrate additional user functionality and
enhancements for ease of use
Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation (TISC) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD)

TISC JCTD Uses APAN Platform and Supports Haiti Earthquake Response
13 Jan 2010: SOUTHCOM directs use of APAN Web 2.0 Group for all DoD unclas info sharing in support of the response.
17 Feb 2010: United Nations OCHA rep states US DoD level of information sharing surpassed all expectations – resulting in reduced loss of life.
• Identify repeatable tactics, techniques and procedures for adoption by DoD personnel in HA/DR events
• Capture business rules and processes for consideration in OPLANs or other COCOM planning documents
• Highlight key obstacles in policy/doctrine preventing sharing of unclassified information in HA/DR events and recommend solutions
• Determine COA for future capability growth for UIS– APAN is the initial UIS capability– Recommend methodology and/or design criteria for integrating
additional capability into UIS capability• Experiment with the OASD (NII) Data Pilot to move data
between information domains11
OASD (NII) Specific Objectives
• Planning – Planning Conferences – recommend at least 1 planning
conference in the EUCOM/AFRICOM AoR– Consider a virtual approach to the experiment with
participants able to contribute from their home stations– Involve external to DoD participants in all phases of the
planning cycle
12
OASD (NII) Specific Objectives (Con’t)
• Technical – Incorporate the OASD (NII) Comprehensive Approach to Civ-Mil
Information Sharing Data methodology into the experiment• Focus on Data collection, dissemination and integration• Determine if suitable for Cross Domain Solution
consideration/use– Identify technical challenges to integrating other unclassified
information sharing capabilities into the UIS• Identify and recommend solutions to capability gaps• Investigate and recommend a methodology for adding
improvements, new capability and/or systems to the UIS• Determine methodology for sharing information with other
federal government capabilities and UIS (e.g., DMIS, HIU, etc)
13We’re not building something new!
OASD (NII) Specific Objectives (Con’t)
• Cultural – Identify and recommend approaches to information
sharing with non-DoD federal government organizations (e.g., HIU, HHS, USAID) in DoD HA/DR events
– Identify and recommend approaches to engaging and sharing of information with non-governmental organizations (e.g., NGOs, IOs, Academia, etc…) in DoD HA/DR events
14
Changing Perceptions
OASD (NII) Specific Objectives (Con’t)
• Processes/TTPs – Provide recommendations on how to incorporate the
OASD (NII) Comprehensive Approach to Civ-Mil Information Sharing Data methodology into department processes
– Identify policy and/or doctrine obstacles to information sharing and recommend proposed changes
– Experiment with new TTPs among non-traditional external DoD participants and recommend best approaches for unclassified information sharing• Sharing of specific types of information/data – the What’s?
15Establish or Enhance Joint TTPs
Success – How do you measure it?
• Measures of Effectiveness (What are we trying to ultimately accomplish?)– Improve the HA/DR response from all actors
– Conserve resources• SECDEF Memo on Improving Efficiencies in the DoD
– More effective use of delivered resources through better collaboration/coordination
– Establish a baseline for comparison?
16
Maritime Domain Awareness Thoughts
• Meet EUCOM/AFRICOM’s intent for unclassified information sharing
• Focus on non-material solutions– What should we share and with whom?
• Standards compliance (National Information Exchange Model -- NIEM)?
• UIS is the DoD Enterprise Standard– No requirement to build something new
17
Non-Governmental Organization’s Thoughts
• Improvement of NGO SME's participation in conferences, exercises, demonstrations or other types of organized information sharing activity largely sponsored by government entities.
• Development of a manual outlining NGO's interface or chosen lack of interface with each other, private sector agencies, and government agencies when delivering their mission and programs in the field. This will include suggestion on improvement of conditions.
• Inclusion of select SME's to participate in the IMISAS Demonstration and other possible exercises, and demonstrations as relevant to improving interaction between the ecosystem of humanitarian actors
