Geospatial Support for Joint Forces Installation Management
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Author(s): Gerry Galloway

This paper will explore geospatial information and service opportunities created by shifting from single to joint service installation management. Current initiatives, such as Strategic Sourcing, 2005 Base Realignment and Closure, and improved Installation and Warfighter efficiency, are intended to privatize non-core activities, increase joint services activity and co-location, and eliminate excess physical capacity. 2005 BRAC will increase the emphasis on GIS through the widespread development of IVT data layers. Combined with CIP development through the USAF Strategic GeoBase program, most DoD installations will have basic geospatial data. The development of data, however, does not necessarily improve the efficiency of installation management or result in government cost savings. This paper presumes that the growing opportunities for GIS within the installation management arena are going to be found in the integration of geospatial technologies and data into the existing information infrastructure and business processes required to support efficient installation management.
