DoD Information Sharing Update for an Interagency Working Group Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration OASD(NII) and the DoD Chief Information OfficerMr. Bill Barlow Deputy Director, Integrated Information Communications Technologies (ICT) Support (IIS) Directorate26 August 2009 1 UNCLASSIFIED
Purpose • Describe the Integrated ICT Support Directorate vision, mission, and priorities that support interagency information sharing • Illustrate department-wide information sharing challenges that limit unclassified information sharing in planning and response efforts – focus on unclassified information sharing • Discuss OSD policy and programmatic efforts intended to assist your efforts 2
OASD(NII)/IIS Vision and Mission(in staffing) Vision: A DoD enterprise that enables broad information sharing and better situational awareness to support decision making across the full range of DoD 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. 4 4
Identified challenges that limit information sharing • Unclassified information sharing and coordination with non-DoD entities are problematic • DoD culture is “classify by default” rather than “share by default.” • Not everyone wants to share or cooperate with USG/DoD • Cumbersome, ad hoc networks; no sharing environment • Organizational cultures and stovepipes impede progress • Policies and procedures are unclear on release/sharing • Over classification and excessive caveats- i.e.. FOUO / SBU • Tactics, techniques, and procedures are not standardized or well known • Information sharing is not always recognized as “good” • DoD organizations are concerned about information integrity • NGOs are concerned about neutrality and cooptation • Risk aversion • Sharing must be bi-directional - DoD must offer what the Community of Interest requires 6
COCOM Integrated Priority ListDemand Signal for Solutions COCOM IPLs reflect the need 7 7 • (U) FY11-15 IPLs identify requirements for unclassified info sharing with coalition, interagency, international and non-governmental organizations as part of the Building Partnerships Portfolio: • USAFRICOM – Building Partners Capability • USCENTCOM – Building Partnership Capacity • USEUCOM- Building Partner Capacity Planning and Execution • USJFCOM- DoD and Interagency Training and Capabilities (BP) • USNORTHCOM- Building Partnerships • USPACOM- Build Partner Capacity • USSOUTHCOM- Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (Building Partnership Capacity)
What is the #1 information need? What should we share and with whom?
