FGDC Facilities Working Group Update Nancy Blyler USACE

Mission To serve as a multi-agency vehicle to coordinate facilities, infrastructure, and environmental use of CADD and GIS activities within DoD and with other participating governmental (federal, state, and local) agencies, and the private sector. Develop CADD/GIS Standards Technical Support to Military Installations Promote the NSDI throughout Military Installations and Participating Agencies

Originally established as the “Tri-Service CADD/GIS Technology Center” in 1992 at the Army Waterways Experiment Station, Information Technology Laboratory, Vicksburg, Mississippi. Established by the Army (including Army Corps of Engineers), Navy, and Air Force (i.e, Tri-Services). The FGDC Facilities Working Group was established in January 1995 to develop standards for facility management and civil engineering.

The Tri-Service Center’s name changed to “CADD/GIS Technology Center for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment” in July, 1999 to reflect a broader mission. In October 1999, the FGDC Coordination Group approved a plan to merge the FWG with the CADD/GIS Technology Center for Facilities, Infrastructure and Environment.
