  1. Department of Defense Stability Operations Community of Interest for: Unclassified Information Sharing in Stability Operations, Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief Operations Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration OASD(NII) and the DoD Chief Information Officer Mr Bill Barlow Deputy Director, Integrated Information Communications Technologies (ICT) Support (IIS) DirectorateMarch 2009 UNCLASSIFIED

  2. Schedule • Introductions • Introduction to the Department of Defense Chief Information Officer’s Stability Operations Community of Interest • Purpose • Organizational composition • Stability Operations COI Pilot Test • How you can help • Working Group Wrap up / Closing Remarks

  3. Purpose of the COI • Establish common understanding of data elements and make them discoverable and accessible across multiple domains, agencies and applications • Enable members of the community to perform their respective missions more efficiently through the sharing of unclassified information amongst those in the community. Community of Interest: A collaborative group of users that must exchange information in pursuit of its shared goals, interests, missions, or business processes and therefore must have shared vocabulary for the information it exchanges.- DoD Directive 8320.02

  4. Integrated ICT Support (IIS) Directorate Mission  " The Integrated Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Support (IIS)Directorate provides policy, oversight and guidance for ICT elements for stability operations, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts (HADR), building partnership capacity (BPC), and contingency operations with particular emphasis on unclassified information sharing as a key enabler for these missions. The IIS Directorate assists in identifying technologies that enable information exchange and communications support for rapid demonstration, experimentation, and fielding. IIS leads the ASD/NII and DoD CIO outreach for Stability operations."

  5. The Problem Set

  6. The Problem Set:Lessons learned and relearned Regarding support for May 2006 Indonesia Earthquake: “JFCOM will do whatever it takes to support current operations in this area.  In the mid term, we need to figure out how to disseminate unclassified data with the same priority we do classified data - perhaps more given the complexity of the long war and our need to communicate with non-traditional actors.  It is key to how we interact with other nations, OGAs, IOs, and NGOs at all levels of conflict.  Let’s work together to fix this shortfall with policy, technology, and processes that support rather than present obstacles. “ General Lance Smith Commander, U.S. Joint Forces Command, 29 May 2006 Regarding 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami lessons learned : Effective coordination, partnership and stewardship are necessary to reach all children affected by an emergency. UNICEF Humanitarian Action Report, 2008 Regarding the 2008 Georgian Crisis: Department of State and USAID identified info sharing improvement recommendations to Department of Defense: • Need easier access to Civ-Mil Coordination Doctrine, reference documents, and Guidelines • Use of common terminology, standards (data, humanitarian i.e. Sphere) and interoperable software • Synchronize inter-agency training and education in civil-military coordination, information/ knowledge management, and cross-cultural understanding • Knowledge map and humanitarian “social network” analysis to identify existing sources of information, and key USG, UN, NGO, donor and host government actors and their contact info Dept. of State Humanitarian Information Unit, August 2008 DoD Geographic combatant commands identify unclassified info sharing with coalition, interagency, international and non-governmental organizations as part of “top ten” priorities. FY2010-2015 Integrated Priority Listings

  10. Direction from the DoD CIO • Form the COI Working Group • Focus on Humanitarian assistance and disaster response • US Government Interagency willingness to support these events • Develop a pilot to foster the information sharing • Build on that success to include additional agencies and additional missions

  11. COI Membership Not limited to but should include: • International Organizations (IO): UNOCHA, WFP, UNDP • NGOs • Coalition/Multinational: NATO, ISAF, OIF Coalition, OEF Coalition • US Government Interagency: USAID, DoS, DoD • DoS: S/CRS, HIU • USAID: OFDA • DoD: USD(P), Joint Staff, Services, OASD(NII), National Defense University, Civil Affairs, Geographic COCOMs • Industry Desired membership: All producers and consumers of information relative to this COI are welcome and encouraged to participate.

  12. Strive to Establish a Common Understanding • Obtain a common understanding of the problems • Familiarity with the COI framework • Harmonized view on way ahead across the community regarding: • Agreement on the beginning of a data model thru a vocabulary • Concepts for Web Services • Governance- structure fleshed out • Pilot program • Overall timeline

  13. Framework • DoD Directive 8320.02 – accessible, visible, understandable, trusted • Tag data and expose- move away from silos and bad data mining capabilities • Web enabled sources- move away from off-line applications; decouple data from applications • Shared vocabularies- move away from mediation techniques to enhance inherent interoperability • Services: video, chat, email, wiki, blog, secure transactions, encryption, Real Simple Syndication, publish and subscribe • Software: goal is to wind up with open source, open standard products that can be made universally available • Pilot Program

  14. Pilot Program • Limited Scope to prove concepts • USAID Field Operations Guide outlines ten assessment types- the COI agreed to use 3 (to limit the scope and prove the concepts) • Food • Fuel • Water

  16. COI Feedback • Imagery + Assessment Report most useful - Geospatially coordinated information is most desirable • Assessment reports based upon an agreed vocabulary • Common data model for the Community is a must • Information sharing capabilities must cross from 3G cell phones to PC and MAC computers • Goal is to make the information sharing process compliant with DoDD 8320.02: accessible, visible, discoverable, understandable, trusted by any COI member. Operations shall not be hampered or obstructed for want of information if it is available. • Logistics needs assessment should be the focus of the pilot program (Reduce scope to Food, Fuel, Water for purposes of the demonstration) • NGO involvement is problematic in the COI as there is no compelling reason for participation.

  17. WGs Additional Working Groups as needed Division of Labor Governance(Proposed) Mission Area & Domain Portfolio Managers Executive Board (FO/GO) Chair or Co-Chair • Promote & review COI activities • Resolve cross-COI discrepancies 2 or 3 star level May be collapsed 1 star level Chair with 0-6/GS-15 membership • Ensure appropriate participation • Act as primary COI POC • Track milestones & success criteria Steering Committee Forum (Chair or Co-Chair) Pilot Demonstration Working Group (Appropriate Lead/Co-Lead) Joint Implementation Working Group (Appropriate Lead/Co-Lead) Data Management Working Group (Appropriate Lead/Co-Lead) • Develop repeatable process to demonstrate COI products (e.g, COI vocabulary) • Leverage core enterprise services • Execute as risk reduction for next Pgm of Record (PoR) spiral • Define & implement high level COI capability roadmap and schedule milestones • Stand up Pilot WG as needed • Synchronize COI products with existing processes (e.g., JCIDS, Acquisition, PPBE) • Develop shared vocabulary for a given problem area in accordance with the DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy
