Redefined Objective: Enhanced NATO Unity of Effort through improved interaction with Non-military Actors

Problem Statement: NATO CIMIC lacks sufficient capability to share information (Data) with Non-Military Actors (GO’s, IO’s, NGO’s, etc.) throughout all phases of the operation on Non-Classified platforms in order to develop situational understanding of the civil environment to inform the CDRs decision-making process.

Recommendations: #1 – Leverage existing non-classified civilian / non-military databases (e.g., HDX [UN Humanitarian Hub]) = SHAPE J9 Lead #2 – Adapt current Human / Liaison Network to leverage relevant partners as required = SHAPE J9 Lead; -9’s; NFIUs

Recommendations (cont Recommendations (cont.): #3 – Leverage CCOE to analyze Doctrine / Training / Leader Development requirements (i.e., non-military actor e-learning course) #4 – Prioritize exercise participation of Non-military actors to avoid overwhelming these organizations capacity to support = SHAPE J7 supported by J9
