Overseas Humanitarian Assistance Shared Information System

Abstract

The Overseas Humanitarian Assistance Shared Information System (OHASIS) enables Humanitarian Assistance (HA) offices, including embassy staff, country team members, Combatant Command leads, and the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) to manage and visualize Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster and Civic Aid (OHDACA) projects on a web-based map display, automate report generation, and perform a variety of analysis. Under the direction of DSCA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Army Geospatial Center (AGC) is responsible for the entire lifecycle--from system definition to development, support, training and product improvement of OHASIS. The AGC has been responsible for the OHASIS system since 2005 and has evolved it to the present 2.1 system which contains more than 13,000 projects valued at more than $1 billion that are managed by over 1,200 users. The OHASIS system is a critical and mission essential means for thousands of military and civilian users to develop, staff, approve and manage projects intended to assist the Combatant Commands in accomplishing theater campaign plan objectives and achieve strategic ends states in support of U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.
