Chapter 1 Introduction

1–1. Purpose This regulation provides policies and procedures for creating, maintaining, and managing geospatial information and services in support of the installation and environment domain. This regulation applies to all accountable organizations whether or not they are listed below.

1–2. References Required and related publications and prescribed and referenced forms are listed in appendix A.

1–3. Explanation of abbreviations and terms Abbreviations and special terms used in this regulation are explained in the glossary.

1–4. Roles and responsibilities See chapter 2 for roles and responsibilities.

1–5. Installation Geospatial Information and Services program

a. The Army Installation Geospatial Information & Services (IGI&S) program provides a unified approach for the creation, maintenance and management of installation geospatial data, and is established to consolidate and focus Army efforts in utilizing that information, including its associated systems and resources, to improve accountability and increase the level of credibility of geospatial information and its originating sources. The Army IGI&S program constitutes the Installations, Energy & Environment (IE&E) domain of the Army Geospatial Enterprise (AGE).

b. Situational awareness of the installation is critical in supporting the Army installation management mission.

Factors such as day-to-day installation management operations, transformation initiatives, base realignment and closure (BRAC), homeland security, and mission support mandate that the Army has access to the best possible contextual information about an installation’s sites and their surroundings. Geospatial information - globally referenced digital representations of installation features, including road networks, building footprints, as-built drawings, utilities, envi-ronmental resources and constraints, and surrounding areas - must be readily available in standardized formats and consolidated in an authoritative data source (ADS). This information is utilized by echelons up to Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) offices to support installation management business processes, inform force protec-tion, respond to encroachment issues, meet regulatory requirements, enable optimum use of facilities, and enhance installation, energy and environmental management in order to support mission needs.

c. Usage of both Geographic Information System (GIS) and computer aided design (CAD) technologies are widespread across the Army and are heavily relied upon in planning and installation, energy and environmental management. Geospatial information shows the precise relationship between the installation (for example, the natural, cultural, administrative, and infrastructure characteristics of an installation’s sites and their surrounding area) and management activities. Installations use GIS and geospatially-enabled CAD for integrated planning, command and control (for example, National Environmental Policy Act analysis, relocation and move management, space manage-ment, noise management, site selection, permitting, and environmental management), operations and management, emergency management and operations (fire, police, medical), emergency preparedness planning, analysis and mapping support, communications and briefing support, dig permitting, military training, land navigation training, the daily maintenance of infrastructure, as well as integration with business (tabular data) systems. HQDA uses GIS and geospatially-enabled CAD for re-stationing, asset lifecycle management, mapping analysis and support, integration efforts with business systems, and impact analysis of policies. With Army Mapper, commanders, civilians or any person with common access card (CAC) access can view installation GIS data, answer questions and solve practical problems.

d. Army Mapper (https://mapper.army.mil) is in the process of obtaining certification with the Army Data Board as the Army’s ADS for all Army installation geospatial information within the IE&E domain.

e. Army Mapper provides access to geospatial information, conforms to Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) standards, integrates ADS such as the Army installation status report program, the Army stationing and installation plan, the real property planning and analysis system, the headquarters installation information system and the real estate management information system for a visual representation of tabular data to allow the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (OACSIM) to meet the requirements of the Department of Defense (DOD) Network-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) Net-Centric Data Strategy.

1–6. Definitions

a. GIS includes an organized, computer-based set of tools for collecting, processing, storing, managing, analyzing, and presenting geographic data, as well as related hardware, geospatial information, and personnel to maintain and operate the system.

b. A geospatial system is any information system that is used to store, edit, reference, or analyze data in a geospatial

1AR 115–13 • 13 March 2013 context. An advanced geospatial system includes specialized investments in information technology (IT) such as servers and software used to host and distribute services such as Web Map viewers. External data sources may be linked from other business systems.

c. Geospatial information consists of, but is not limited to, digital vector data with associated tabular attributes, raster data, hard copy maps, aerial photographs, and other information that represents real world features accurately referenced to a precise location on the Earth’s surface.

d. A site is a physically defined location that can be supported by a legal boundary survey which closes a polygon.

It can be owned, leased, or otherwise possessed or used. A site is the sum of all real property at a specific location.

e. An installation is an aggregation of real property holdings led by a centrally-selected commander or civilian executive assistant. Installations represent management organizations. An installation may be comprised of one or more sites. Two types of virtual installations exist within the Army: Army National Guard virtual installations, identified by state and commanded by The Adjutant General, under which are Readiness Centers or sites; Army Reserve Regional Readiness Commands defined as a virtual installations under which Reserve Centers are identified as sites.

f. Installation geospatial information is geospatial data that represents features that are within or coincident with the boundary of an installation, virtual installation, or other Army site as well as non-Army owned areas in the immediate vicinity adjacent to these boundaries.

g. Geospatial services include interfaces which enable users to access and manipulate geospatial data, viewers, customized tools, and training materials.

h. IGI&S is the concept for collection, information extraction, storage, dissemination, and exploitation of geodetic, imagery, environmental, facility, topographic, hydrographic, littoral, and cultural data accurately referenced to a precise location on the Earth’s surface. This data is utilized for installation, energy and environmental management, mission support, critical infrastructure protection, force protection, homeland security, and training operations.

i. The Common Installation Picture (CIP) is the distinct, minimum set of geospatial data layers and imagery required to be maintained for all Army sites.

j. Geospatial data layer Quality Assurance Plans (QAPs) are documents stating required specifications for creating and managing geospatial data features. QAPs define geospatial and metadata content specifications, validation method-ology, acceptable data sources, internal handling controls and how GIS data is aligned with Army business systems. A Data Layer Proponent must be identified for each geospatial data layer QAP.

k. A Data Layer Proponent is an HQDA office, agency, or command responsible for initiating, developing, coordinating, and approving geospatial data layer content. A Data Layer Proponent is responsible for issuing and maintaining policy and guidance such as QAPs. A Data Layer Proponent Lead is an individual point of contact (POC).

A Data Layer Proponent is responsible for developing policy and guidance for funding, collecting, and maintaining geospatial data content (see section 3–2).

l. Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a description of the components and subsystems of an organization, their relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time including relationships with the external environment.
