A deliberate process / product to understand the problem and propose solutions o Identifies required capabilities o Identifies capability gaps (current/planned ability vs. required) o Proposes solutions Prerequisite for experimentation

6. 6 UNCLASSIFIED – Approved for Public Release Problem Statement FY 11 Warfighter Challenge #1: USEUCOM and USAFRICOM require the capability to share essential information with Interagency partners, Coalition and Alliance partners, or emerging partner nations' in bi- lateral or multinational efforts. The capability gap is the result of: 1)restrictive network access and information sharing policies; 2)restrictive and cumbersome accreditation procedures for coalition networks and systems; 3)lack of a coherent / unified strategy for a whole of government (to include foreign government) approach to an information sharing / collaborative environment; and 4)resourcing to support that environment and its associated network enterprise services. Problem Statement: COCOMs lack a coherent framework / capability to share information and collaborate across multiple domains with a broad range of mission partners (government / interagency, multi-national, multi-lateral & private sector) due primarily to restrictive policies, conflicting authorities, ad hoc / non-existent procedures, business rules and non- interoperable networks and systems.

16. 16 UNCLASSIFIED – Approved for Public Release Site Visit (1 of 4) Takeaways Culture DoD organizational culture creates unintended barriers to information sharing and collaboration resulting in misunderstandings, lack of trust and ultimately missed opportunities to save lives Within DoD Across the “Whole of Government” International Community Predominantly non-military operations (HA/DR) often present cultural challenges for the DoD Shift toward a push rather than pull information mentality with partners A mindset and behaviors that focus on what DoD can provide rather than what we need Organizational culture paradigm shift toward encouraging trust

17. 17 UNCLASSIFIED – Approved for Public Release Site Visit (1 of 4) Takeaways Culture Lack of understanding of organizational culture differences between the DoD and Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) / Private Volunteer Organizations (PVOs) complicates information sharing and collaboration o Charters o Neutrality o Independence DoD information assurance structures and information security policies and procedures are often not communicated clearly to potential mission partner organizations o Misunderstandings, frustration, and lost time and effort o Missed opportunities to save lives

18. 18 UNCLASSIFIED – Approved for Public Release Site Visit (2 of 4) Takeaways Policies and Procedures Both Combatant Commanders identified a need for: o Strategy /policy to effectively integrate social media information o Improved processes and procedures to streamline inclusion of partners into existing systems and networks o Standardized Knowledge Management (KM) and business rules for DoD communications support to Department of State (DoS) and “ Whole of Government” during operations o A model which enables information sharing – consider “creator as releaser" for UNCLASSIFIED information Combatant Commanders experience: o Frustration with Common Access Cards (CAC) – a need for streamlined, intuitive and less burdensome procedures o Ambiguities in interpretation of unclassified information sharing policies contributing to lost opportunities to engage partners o

19. 19 UNCLASSIFIED – Approved for Public Release Policies and Procedures (Continued) HA / DR mission analysis is required to: o Identify interagency roles, responsibilities, authorities and information exchange requirements o Utilize embedded interagency representatives and Liaison Officers (LNOs) more effectively to build better awareness of partner capabilities and limitations DoD needs to define the education, training, and qualification requirements for services to interact more successfully as part of a “Whole of Government” approach to sharing information in HA / DR operations Site Visit (3 of 4) Takeaways

20. 20 UNCLASSIFIED – Approved for Public Release Site Visit (4 of 4) Takeaways Technical Different network focus between European and African Commands o USEUCOM primarily works on SIPRNET (Secret Internet Protocol Router Net) o USAFRICOM works on NIPRNET (Nonsecure Internet Protocol Router Net) Large variance in communication capabilities and capacity across Africa Wireless infrastructure consistently robust in Europe, but less mature in Africa Geospatial situational awareness and User-Defined Operational Picture (UDOP) are essential for operational response Multilingual chat is important in both theatres Technical and procedural incompatibilities impede accessibility and transfer of information between DoS and Combatant Commanders
