Pathfinder, v6 n2, Mar/Apr 2008. Strengthening NGA Partnerships Around the World
Abstract
As the importance of geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) expands throughout the world, the security of our nation and of our allies is well served by our foreign partner relationships. By strengthening partnerships around the world, NGA reinforces the ability of the United States and its allies to protect freedom. Several of the agency's foreign partnerships are explored in these pages. Clive Lines, Director of Australia's Defence Imagery and Geospatial Organisation, discusses several of the GEOINT benefits that our relationships provide. "Our Heritage: Commonwealth Friendships Stand the Test of Time" adds further historical references to these long standing relationships. Dawn Eilenberger, Director of NGA's Office of International Affairs and Policy, shares her perspective on our international partnerships and their significance to our country's national and international interests. The global expansion of GEOINT and the resulting burden sharing of GEOINT responsibilities increases our ability to support mission-critical objectives. "Norway Demonstrates World-Class GEOINT" ably describes the contributions of this Scandinavian partner, which reach from pole to pole. "GEOINT Products Aid Disaster Recovery in Latin America" details many of NGA's significant efforts to mitigate suffering in that region. As illustrated by "NGA Forges Support for USAFRICOM," the agency's establishment of a team augmenting the recent standup of the U.S. Africa Command reflects our nation's pledge to bolster our country's African partners. "NGA Welcomes New German Geospatial Liaison" provides dynamic evidence of how the agency continues to invigorate our vital international partnerships.
