Comprehensive Civil Information Management: How to Provide It.

摘要

Combatant Commanders have requested and the Joint Requirements Oversight Council has validated the need for a socio-cultural operating picture. This demand can be satisfied by providing an integrated civil common operating picture. A civil common operating picture is radically different from traditional adversary oriented intelligence assessments. Civil Information Management (CIM) provides a potential option for a civil common operating picture as do some activities in various other agencies of the U.S. government, but such stovepipe solutions are still inadequate. This paper advocates applying existing capabilities differently to generate a new capability of collaborative civil information management.
