Mobilizing the National Guard Geospatial Enterprise: Federal Responses to the GeoGuard Framework

—Brian Cullis, Critigen

In July 2010, the National Guard formally launched an effort to organize and mobilize a National Guard geospatial enterprise ("GeoGuard") to achieve unity of GI&S efforts for their many missions. Representatives from the Army and Air National Guard and the National Guard Bureau Joint Staff recently collaborated in drafting a GeoGuard Framework that provides vision, mission, goals and objectives for the GeoGuard agenda. This panel will allow select federal partners to share their thoughts on how the GeoGuard Framework can be further enhanced to achieve the desired outcomes for the nation.
