The Stability Operations Community of Interest
(COI) Summary

• The vision for the COI is a seamless, understood
  method for sharing information during Irregular
  Warfare Stability Operations, Humanitarian
  Relief and Disaster Response missions with ALL
  supporting and supported mission partners in an
  ad hoc, dynamic environment.
• With this concept in mind, the DoD Chief
  Information Officer directed conduct of a Pilot
  Test between selected DoD and interagency
  volunteers that intends to integrate each
  external mission partners' existing approach to
  mission support by tagging data in a net centric
  manner in accordance with DoD Directive 8320.02
  Data Sharing in a Net-Centric Department of
  Defense April 23, 2007.
• This Break Out discussion is intended to provide
  an update of the COI and other similar efforts in
  progress and finally collect your opinions and
  suggestions that can further enhance the
  discoverability of data in Department of Defense
  support operations.

OSD Stability Operations Community of Interest

• Formed 1 Oct 2008- COI WG agreed on nature of the
  problem, info sharing priorities, pilot program
  concept
• HADR Pilot proof of concept templated
  assessments
• Initial focus on Food, Water, Shelter
• Seeking to add ROADINT, Imagery via laptop,
  cellphone SMS capabilities
• Developing an information sharing vocabulary and
  exchange data model
• Federated portals for unclassified info sharing
  w/ agreed vocabulary that maps to JC3IEDM for
  disambiguation to .MIL C2 systems (i.e., Army
  ABCS)
• Pilot completed by 1 Oct 2009 followed by report
  and recommendations to ASD(NII) on way ahead
• Transition will migrate ownership to operational
  community from communicators and from HADR to
  broader STAB OPS problem
• POC Gerry Christman, [phone],

and BPC

• PR 11 Program Review for FY 11
• Looks at new funding requirements against planned
  FY 11 expenditures
• Requesting 84M for FY 11-15
• Stakeholders
• OSD ( Net Centric Capability Portfolio Manager
  (CPM) Command and Control CPM Building
  Partnership CPM
• All COCOMs, Services
• Intended outcomes
• Seek DoD enterprise level solution for non-clas

  coordinate and collaborate on an unclassified
  level.

New DoD Instruction Information and
Communications Technology Focused

• DoDI 8220.02 ICT Capabilities for Support of
  Stabilization and Reconstruction, Disaster
  Relief, and HCA Operations, April 2009
• Implements policy for providing ICT capabilities
  and associated unclassified data and voice
  services in support of stabilization and
  reconstruction, disaster relief, and humanitarian
  and civic assistance
• Provides guidance for support of stabilization,
  security, transition, and reconstruction
  operations
• Provides guidance on the provisioning of military
  ICT and associated data and voice services,
  spectrum allocation, and DoD funding support
  according to DoDD 3000.05 and in support of DoD
  functions specified in the NSPD 44

OSD Information Sharing Working
GroupInteragency Information Sharing Policy

• Interagency Information Sharing Issue identified
  at WJTSC 09-01
• Stakeholders
• OSD (P) Partnership Strategy and Stability
  Operations
• OSD (Personnel Readiness)
• USD (I)
• OASD (Networks and Information Integration)
• JS J7
• Intended outcomes
• Modify policy that may be an impediment to
  information sharing
• Conduct outreach and education of existing policy
  that may not be leveraged due to a lack of
  situational awareness
• Codify guidance that offers solutions as to what
  can be shared, by whom and under what
  circumstances

13
Interagency Shared Situational Awareness (SSA)
Limited Objective Experiment (LOE)

• Joint Forces Command LOE focused on seamless
  information sharing among military and
  non-military actors in order to support accurate
  situational awareness and timely decision-making.
  
• Stakeholders OSD (NII), DoS HIU, DoS Ops, DHS
  NOC, NGB, NORTHCOM, PACOM, SOUTHCOM, EUCOM (w/
  AFRICOM), USACE, VA EOC (w/ Virtual AL), VANG, VA
  Fusion Center, USS Harry S. Truman
• Intended Outcomes
• Improved ability to share operational information
  in a distributed environment to Support accurate
  situational awareness and timely decision making.
  
• Identify necessary improvements in technologies,
  processes, organizational structures, and policy
  changes

IA SSA OV
16
Initial Findings

• IA Standards / Policies
• Need to share information is limited by an
  agencys desire to protect information
• Staffing the IA MOU / IAEE for the IA SSA LOE
  was problematic and demonstrated a need to
  establish the proper staffing level for approval,
  which varied by organization
• Federated search of distributed exposed data
  sources is desired
• Single-site log on, eliminate the need for
  multiple user names and passwords
• Exposed data access highlights a need for IA,
  organizational trust, and cultural barriers to be
  addressed
• Organizations often dictate a withhold
  information first, share by exception culture
• Access to common exposed data is more important
  than common tools, new tools, or common pictures
• More important to use common data standards
  which allow a wide range of disparate tools to
  ingest and display information (need to remain
  tool agnostic)
• A convergence of technology, policy, and
  organizational requirements will support a truly
  federated information sharing environment
• Technology is not the limiting factor in
  information sharing
• Common lexicon needed for DoD and Interagency
  partners to work together

17
Initial Findings (cont)

• VEIC-type federated environment
• Information display issues seemed to show that
  human factors need to be taken into account as
  technology is developed for ease in use and
  understanding of what a user sees
• Automated refresh function needed
• Free-form search required (experiment used
  filter)
• Steep learning curve for posting links and
  accessing information
• Frustration (per survey data) declined over
  trials (assuming its due to participants growing
  more familiar with the system)
• File sharing was consistently viewed to have
  provided the most useful information when
  compared to GIS and text chat (over all trials)
• Participants generally reported that they
  provided better information than they
  receivedthis is common, particularly in a
  distributed setting
• Text chat
• Considered a point-to-point means of
  communication throughout the experiment
• Nearly as many simultaneous conversations as
  participants
• It appeared that participants primarily used
  private chat vice scenario chat rooms
• E-mail was more common and familiar to most
  participantsthose used to using chat used it
  more, others perhaps underutilized it

18
Initial Recommendations

• IA efforts be more fully integrated in future
  technology and policy development
• Review IA issues and update policies in light of
  the latest efforts to share information as the
  rule and withhold information by exception
• Continue development of federated search
  capabilities, including single-site log on and
  access to exposed data sources
• Agencies facilitate the establishment of trusted
  partnerships between response organizations
  before an event requires collaboration
• This will reduce time to train on tools and
  portal capabilities and familiarize agencies with
  other partners (thus building trust)
• Experimentation and exercise venues should be
  used to facilitate these partnerships

19
Institutional Obstacles
Concluding Discussion

• Ineffective communication leads to
• Social and political instability
• Failed country programs
• Wasted resources
• Cost overruns
• Info Sharing lessons are re-learned during each
  response
• Unable to connect and collaborate
• Limited ability to communicate directly on the
  Internet
• Independent organizations represent disparate
  guidance, resources, protocols, and philosophies
• Sharing of common situational information,
  assessments, and plans across extended
  partnership network is limited exchanges are
  ad hoc

OASD(NII)/IIS Vision and Mission
Vision A DoD enterprise that enables broad
information sharing and better situational
awareness to support decision making across the
full range of military operations and
coordination with interagency and external
mission partners. Mission Develops and
oversees policy that shapes ICT enablement of
irregular warfare, stability operations, and
theater security cooperation. In coordination
with the Joint Staff, Combatant Commands,
Services, Interagency and external organizations,
IIS identifies, assesses and closes ICT gaps to
improve information sharing and realize more
effective civil-military situational awareness,
coordination, and decision making. Serves as NII
lead for crosscutting COCOM operational support
issues.
