Strategic Issues for MCIP Outreach to
the International Humanitarian
Community (IHC)
Ken Zita
Network Dynamics Associates LLC, USA
20 August 2009 – MCIP / Pohukaloa Training
Facility

Key MCIP Planning Issues for IHC Outreach
• What is the optimal planning process to formalize MCIP priorities,
plans and initiatives for outreach to the IHC communities?
• What actions are required to define, structure, and deploy new
collaboration programs for information sharing?
• How can the military adopt best practices for HADR from civil
society?
• Which new Internet, social networking, data sharing and related
technologies are most appropriate to facilitate MCIP’s role in
HADR?
• How can MCIP goals and objectives be best communicated to the
diverse range of actors outside of the military?
Information sharing and collaboration for HADR is now an established
priority for PACOM and MCIP

The Need for Collaboration
• MCIP is at a complex inflection point:
– Shift from military => IHC
– Shift from voice interoperability => data interoperability
• Today there is a wide gap in approach between military and non-
military HADR procedures and data reporting and sharing
requirements
– HADR operational mandates, technology solutions and perceptions of
priorities vary widely between military and civilian actors
– Coordination between constituencies is often ad-hoc and limited in
scope
– Communications landscape is prone to legacy obstacles
• All participants require better common operational pictures and
the facility to self-organize through data sharing
Expanded collaboration with the IHC community is essential for
successful HADR operations

Key IHC Concerns Working with the Military
• One-way flow of information
• Mistrust over military operational mandate, especially in
conflict zones
– Is the military partisan or a neutral broker in HADR?
– Countries with foreign military forces remain problematic
• Continuity of mission
– Operational cooperation dependent on individual personalities
– Institutional ties and trust relationships often do not survive rotation
• IHC attitudes are evolving
– Chief Executive political attention
– UN-ISDR (Hyogo Framework)
– OCHA “International Humanitarian Partnership” (IHP)
– NGO increasing willingness to engage
MCIP needs to understand IHC issues and perspectives in order to
coordinate HADR operations more effectively

MCIP/Pacific Endeavor Opportunity
• Institutionalize communications from ad hoc
interactions with IHC to collaborative alliances
• Exercise joint working groups, TTX and public
conferences to build trust relationships
• Identify new technologies and metadata sharing
frameworks
• Tell a consistent story to achieve unity of mission
• Save lives
Identify mutual perspectives, issues and operational
approaches to “communications interoperability”

1. Develop Overall Strategy for MCIP Outreach
• MCIP mission and vision is
excellent, but:
– Additional strategy is
required to address
“communications
interoperability” and data
sharing issues
– What data
can/should/should not be
shared?
– Need to prepare gap
analysis of MCIP “today”
vs. “to be” states and
metrics for measuring
success
Prepare an integrated, iterative strategy to define/refine MCIP
initiatives with the IHC

2. Strategic Communications / PR
• The 95/5 rule
• Define StratCom program
– MCIP board messaging
needs and issues
analysis
– Message development
among MCIP national
interest groups and IHC
• Develop programs
– Web portal and online
communities
– Conferences and
Workshops
– White papers
– Media
Technical interoperability alone will not realize MCIP strategic
goals; effective public relations is essential to achieving unity of
mission and Shared expectations

3. New Technology and Best Practices
• Review HADR best practices
adopted by large NGOs, IOs and
national DMC/EOC
• Develop strategic scenarios for
data sharing and collaboration
• Identify IHC/private sector
innovations
• Develop case studies, briefings and
recommendations:
– Social networks
– Data syndication, Meta-data
– Video
– Real-time situational awareness,
etc.
Many early-stage architectures and approaches are competing for
acceptance but there are no de facto standards for HADR
communications / collaboration.

Key Take-aways
1. Two strategic shifts are taking place
simultaneously
• Voice interoperability => data interoperability
• Military collaboration => collaboration with IHC
1. Social networking and Internet technologies are
transforming the context in which MCIP operates
• Political and IHC experiences shape expectations of the
military
• New solutions appear at the speed of the market
1. Perceptions matter
• PR is strategic

• Cuts process time from hours to minutes

New element: Ship to Shore MIMO OFDM Link: 100 Mbps as far as 10 nm
MIO : Networks & Partners

Adding Unmanned Systems to MIO Network: Drive-by Search by
USV Sea Fox; USV and UAV Relay to the Fast Boat

TTX Training Goal & Objectives
Goal: To help MCIP evolve as a fully functional multinational group of nations
that can deploy and join together after a major disaster; with deployable
communication equipment and systems that will work collectively to ensure
nations’ military resources are efficiently and effectively used when supporting
HA/DR operations in the Asia/Pacific Region
Objectives:
- Test that the MCIP/MCIG tools support multinational
humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations
- Test MCIP nations’ ability to de-conflict the communication
frequency spectrum and build a multinational network
- Enhance MCIP nations’ capacity to work together

BDE C Lessons Learned
• Importance of modern collaboration tools for effective
functioning of HQs and updating the situational awareness
at various levels.
• Importance of continuous updating of MCIG which ultimately
facilitates operational planning.
• Achieving much needed interoperability with the use of
modern collaboration equipment, e.g. IPICS.
• Importance of having inputs from operational community for
more realistic end results.
• Functional complexities encountered when working in a
Multinational environment.
• Importance of identifying commonly agreed/accepted
frequency slots/bandwidths within respective frequency
bands (HF,VHF,UHF,SHF etc) among MCIP Nations.

BDE A Lessons Learned

improved relations among personnel
• Able to improve MCIP and MCIG - database of equipment
and SOPs.
• Confirmed the value of tools for planning before deployment
of troops for HA/DR event.
• Exposure to modern technologies and ideas.
• Value achieved on working for a humanitarian cause.

BDE B Lessons Learned
