1. DoD Information Sharing Update for an Interagency Working Group Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration OASD(NII) and the DoD Chief Information OfficerMr. Bill Barlow Deputy Director, Integrated Information Communications Technologies (ICT) Support (IIS) Directorate26 August 2009 1 UNCLASSIFIED

2. Purpose • Describe the Integrated ICT Support Directorate vision, mission, and priorities that support interagency information sharing • Illustrate department-wide information sharing challenges that limit unclassified information sharing in planning and response efforts – focus on unclassified information sharing • Discuss OSD policy and programmatic efforts intended to assist your efforts 2

4. OASD(NII)/IIS Vision and Mission(in staffing) Vision: A DoD enterprise that enables broad information sharing and better situational awareness to support decision making across the full range of DoD operations and coordination with interagency and external mission partners. Mission: Develops and oversees policy that shapes ICT enablement of irregular warfare, stability operations, and theater security cooperation. In coordination with the Joint Staff, Combatant Commands, Services, Interagency and external organizations, IIS identifies, assesses and closes ICT gaps to improve information sharing and realize more effective civil-military situational awareness, coordination, and decision making. Serves as NII lead for crosscutting COCOM operational support issues. 4 4

5. The Problem Set 5

6. Identified challenges that limit information sharing • Unclassified information sharing and coordination with non-DoD entities are 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 • Organizational cultures and stovepipes impede progress • Policies and procedures are unclear on release/sharing • Over classification and excessive caveats- i.e.. FOUO / SBU • Tactics, techniques, and procedures are not standardized or well known • 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 6

7. COCOM Integrated Priority ListDemand Signal for Solutions COCOM IPLs reflect the need 7 7 • (U) FY11-15 IPLs identify requirements for unclassified info sharing with coalition, interagency, international and non-governmental organizations as part of the Building Partnerships Portfolio: • USAFRICOM – Building Partners Capability • USCENTCOM – Building Partnership Capacity • USEUCOM- Building Partner Capacity Planning and Execution • USJFCOM- DoD and Interagency Training and Capabilities (BP) • USNORTHCOM- Building Partnerships • USPACOM- Build Partner Capacity • USSOUTHCOM- Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (Building Partnership Capacity)

8. What is the #1 information need? What should we share and with whom? Imagery Maps Assessments Incident Reports Org charts Access to SMEs Situational Awareness Ops/Intel Fusion Foreign Disclosure In-depth country knowledge High-level contacts Connections to Locals Up-to-Date contact list Training programs 8

9. What are we doing about the problems? 9

10. IIS Priorities Provide ICT support for Irregular Warfare and Stability Ops Policy Ensure ICT language is included in DoD Directives and Instructions (e.g. permits ICT and bandwidth sharing with external partners) Oversight of unclassified information sharing technology demonstrations IW/StabOps unclas portal architectural study Working group to define “when, where, with whom” details on IW/Stability Operations and HADR info sharing Developing StabOps Community of Interest Inter-Agency Reconstruction and Stabilization (NSPD-44) Support DoD technical representative to the S/CRS Knowledge Management Collaboration Office, DoS Humanitarian Information Unit (HIU), and USAID Office of Civilian Response Support other interagency planning committees and working groups responsible for interagency processes: operations, log/comms, and Training, Education, Exercises and Experiments (TE-3) 10

11. IIS Priorities Geographic COCOM and Service ICT support issues: Advocate Unclassified Information sharing requirements in PPBES Improve US Navy hospital ship communications shortfalls Improve COCOM awareness of Sec 401, Title 10 provisions Provide oversight for Afghan Civ-Mil ICT sector Enable Theater Security Cooperation and Building Partnership Capacity (TSC and BP) – Regional International Outreach (RIO); Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation (TISC), etc Outreach within the Dept and to UN, NGOs, IOs and Industry on Civ-Mil info sharing Encourage NGO participation in COCOM/Service interagency events Start dialogue/exchange with industry on engagement for security cooperation and capacity building Program Review (PR-11) Non-classified information sharing for IW and BPC

13. OSD Stability Operations Community of Interest • Formed 1 Oct 2008- COI WG agreed on nature of the problem, info sharing priorities, pilot program concept • HADR Pilot – “proof of concept” – templated assessments • Initial focus on Food, Water, Shelter • Seeking to add ROADINT, Imagery via laptop, cellphone SMS capabilities • Developing an information sharing vocabulary and exchange data model • Federated portals for unclassified info sharing w/ agreed vocabulary that maps to JC3IEDM for disambiguation to .MIL C2 systems (i.e., Army ABCS) • Pilot completed by 1 Oct 2009 followed by report and recommendations to ASD(NII) on way ahead • Transition will migrate ownership to operational community from “communicators” and from HADR to broader STAB OPS problem • POC: Gerry Christman, (703) 602-0549, gerard.christman.ctr@osd.mil and Sean McCarthy, (702) 601-2438 sean.mccarthy.ctr@osd.mil

14. New DoD Instruction – Information and Communications Technology Focused • DoDI 8220.02 ICT Capabilities for Support of Stabilization and Reconstruction, Disaster Relief, and HCA Operations, April 2009 • Implements policy for providing ICT capabilities and associated unclassified data and voice services in support of stabilization and reconstruction, disaster relief, and humanitarian and civic assistance • Provides guidance for support of stabilization, security, transition, and reconstruction operations • Provides guidance on the provisioning of military ICT and associated data and voice services, spectrum allocation, and DoD funding support according to DoDD 3000.05 and in support of DoD functions specified in the National Security Presidential Directive 44
