UNCLASSIFIED The Research Problem Needed to answer routine Scenario/MSEL queries, such as: –How many of the last 4 events trained to the JMET ST 1: Concentrate and Maneuver Theater Forces? –Can you tell me where I could find a scenario based on an Earthquake? –Which exercises in the last three years addressed Humanitarian Assistance? Do you have MSEL lists?  Non standard archiving made it difficult to respond efficiently: –Each Scenario/MSEL manager determined what files to save and where –Files were saved on computers, common drives, and various portals –The responsible Scenario/MSEL manager had to be available to perform a thorough search.  Time required to answer queries,1 to 3 days, if the respective Scenario/MSEL Manager was present
