Abstract
 Theater Geospatial Database Value-Adding in a Distributive Environment Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Jack Haefner As the U.S. Pacific Command's Executive Agent for all Pacific Theater terrain analysis and geospatial production, U.S. Army, Pacific (USARPAC) established a Pacific Theater Geospatial Database (TGD) in 2003-2004. Since its inception, USARPAC has steadily built on the success of this program. In concert with forces across the Pacific, units such as the Theater Topographic Company (70th Engineer Company) and Theater Dive Detachment (7th Engineer Detachment) have provided TGD value-adding with feature extraction, attribution and hydrographic survey data. This paper will discuss the challenges, shortfalls, and successes of this distributive value-adding workflow among units of differing missions, locations, and visions into this process.
