Perspectives on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) for Civil-Military Coordination in Crises
Abstract
Nations all over the globe are confronting crises that demand enhanced coordination and information sharing between the responding civilian and military communities. These crises are generally divided into the categories of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR), stabilization and reconstruction (S&R), and complex emergencies. Although these types of crises can differ in their causes and specific impacts, there are significant similarities in the information and communications technology (ICT) to enable each of them. The Directorate for Contingency Support and Migration Planning (CSMP), Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration (OASD (NII)), and the Center for Technology and National Security Policy (CTNSP), National Defense University (NDU), established a partnership that focused on identifying civil/military information sharing needs and commercial ICT capabilities supporting recent crisis operations. One of the major products from this partnership is a Primer designed to identify current knowledge and best practices in creating a collaborative civil-military information environment. This paper summarizes the major insights that have been developed in creating the Primer.
