UNCLASSIFIED 4 Challenges to Unclas Info Sharing Challenges to Conduct of Integrated Operations Unclassified information sharing and coordination with non-DoD entities can be 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 4 Organizational cultures and stovepipes impede progress –Policies and procedures are unclear on release/sharing –Over classification and excessive caveats- i.e.. FOUO / SBU 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

Acknowledgment that commanders at all levels are key to enabling the sharing relevant unclassified information with our mission partners. Commanders, along with their staffs, need to be trained and educated on the criticality of the information sharing function to execute in the field at the outset of complex operations, and not as an afterthought. 7
