IIS Vision

4

A DoD enterprise that enables rapid, agile, and persistent sharing of civil-military information and situational awareness to facilitate coordination and cooperation with the interagency and external mission participants across the full range of irregular

warfare and stability operations.

Develops and oversees policy that shapes ICT enablement of irregular warfare, stability operations, and theater

security cooperation. IIS identifies ICT gaps, recommends solutions, and assesses the Department’s progress towards

improved information sharing and more effective civil-military coordination, situational awareness, and decision making. IIS

engages with the Joint Staff, Interagency, and external organizations to facilitate resolution of COCOM and Service

contingency operations ICT support issues.

IIS Mission Statement

UNCLASSIFIED5

Identified Challenges That Impede 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

5

• 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

Policy Priorities

• DoD Information Sharing Implementation Plan Focus Area 6 Lead (Unclassified information sharing)

• Inter-Agency Reconstruction and Stabilization (NSPD-44) Support – DoD technical representative to the S/CRS Knowledge Management

Collaboration Office, DoS Humanitarian Information Unit (HIU), and USAID Office of Civilian Response

– Support other interagency planning committees and working groups responsible for interagency processes

• Program Review (PR-11) enterprise solutions in support of non-classified information sharing for Irregular Warfare and Building Partnerships

• Provide ICT Policy support for Irregular Warfare and Stability Ops– Ensure ICT language is included in DoD Directives and Instructions – Architectural study for Unclassified Info sharing portals– Coordinate with Intelligence and Operations communities to clarify

what we share “when, where, with whom” details during unclas info sharing operations (humanitarian assistance and disaster response)
