“…Research conducted in 2007 on GI&S adoption and benefits across the DoD Installations and Environment mission area concluded that while dozens of missions were benefiting greatly from GI&S, many barriers still remain. Among these were security concerns and data restrictions, a lack of data sharing policy and standards, and a lack of communication or collaboration between different functional organizations and disciplines (Lachman et al, 2007).…”

While geospatial information resources have traditionally imparted situational awareness in the battlespace, the past twenty years has witnessed broad adoption in other defense environments as well. This paper describes the major catalysts spurring broader investment and use of geospatial information and services (GI&S) beyond the battlespace and into a parallel defense installation mission area known as basingspace. Furthermore, the paper details how the benefits of GI&S for delivering shared situational awareness in both battlespace and basingspace has the National Guard poised to exploit geospatial technologies in a more strategic manner. This paper presents a concise history of how social and technical factors influenced the diffusion of applied geospatial technologies within the defense sector and the potential for greater unity of geospatial efforts for the Department of Defense and the nation.
