Overview

• What is the National Guard
• National Guard Mission
• NG Domestic Capabilities
• GIS in the National Guard
• National Guard Operations GIS
• Current Future Capabilities

Who We Are The National Guard

• Made up of the State Militias within
• 50 US States
• District of Columbia
• Guam
• Puerto Rico
• US Virgin Islands
• and the National Guard Bureau
• In the States/Territories, the National Guard is

National Guard Bureau

• The National Guard Bureau (NGB) is a Joint Bureau
  of the US Army Air Force by law (since 1958)
• NGB is the State/Federal military interface
• NGB coordinates use of National Guard personnel
  and resources for contingency operations,
  Military Operations Other Than War, natural
  disasters, Military Support to Civil Authorities,
  and special events.

• We are Joint

National Guard Missions

• National Defense - Defend the U.S. and its
  Interests
• Coordinated by ARNG/ANG
• U.S. Constitution Article 1 Sect. 8 Cl 15,16
  To provide for calling the Militia to execute
  the Laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and
  repel invasions to provide for organizing,
  arming, and disciplining the militia
• The Guard as the first-line reserve of the Army
  and Air Force
• Domestic Operations
• Coordinated by NGB, Joint Operations Center

9
Guard Response Status

• NG responds to domestic incidents almost
  exclusively in State status (State Active Duty,
  or Federally funded State Active Duty (US Code
  Title 32))
• Federalizing the Guard
• Overseas Warfighting
• Incidents of National Significance (maybe)
• Federally Mandated Marshall Law

10
NG Effectiveness

• Effective, comprehensive, and rapid response
• Geographically dispersed
• Centralized control, decentralized execution
• Keen understanding of the domestic environment
• Cost Effective
• e.g. 12 of Army budget enables 38 of Army Force
  Structure
• Maximizes habitual relationship with emergency
  responders

Requirements for Operations GIS

• Common Operating Picture (COP)/Situational
  Awareness
• Location of the incident
• Proximity
• Critical infrastructure
• Response resources/personnel
• Hazard Modeling
• Threat Assessment/Response Planning
• Post-event Damage Assessment
• Briefing and Status Information (geospatially
  enabled business processes)

26
NG Joint Operations Centers

• 54 NG Joint Operations Centers
• Few have in-house GIS capabilities
• Most rely on other NG GIS staff for geospatial
  information support in times of crisis
• NGB standing up a Joint information exchange
  system
• To include Geospatial data sharing between State
  JOCs and NGB JOC
• Mapping of NG Operations data for basic users up
  to support for Desktop GIS users
• Exploring WebEOC and E-Team integration
• Web Map Services-based information sharing with
  other Federal Agencies

GIS Emergency Support Staff?

• Few NG States have qualified GIS staff to support
  operations
• GIS support staff can be deployed from NGB to
  State JOC
• In the event of a disaster, other GIS staff will
  support operations
• Coordination across State agencies is critical
  prior to an emergency
• How to make contact?
