- Summary
- This report assesses the effect of sharing installations and environment geospatial data assets across the Department of Defense Global Information Grid. The authors found that the assets support a wide range of missions from installation management to warfighting support. The authors also identified barriers to sharing, recommended ways to maximize the sharing benefits, and developed a methodology for assessing the effects of sharing.
