Overseas Humanitarian Assistance Shared Information System (OHASIS)

Abstract

The Overseas Humanitarian Assistance Shared Information System (OHASIS) provides stakeholders of DoD Humanitarian Assistance (HA) programs, including embassy staff, the Combatant Commands, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), and a broad range of Department of Defense and interagency partners, the capability to manage, support, and visualize Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid (OHDACA) funded projects on a web-based map display, in addition to automating report generation, providing tools to coordinate with Interagency and partner nation stakeholders, and perform a variety of analyses. 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 2.5 system, which contains more than 16,000 active projects (7,000 of which have been completed) valued at more than $2.3 billion, with a community of over 6,000 users. The OHASIS system is a critical and mission essential means for thousands of military and civilian users to develop, staff, coordinate, approve, fund, implement, manage, and evaluate 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.
