Precision Humanitarian Missions in
Strategic Stability Operations
-Integrate Humanitarian Activity within
Strategic Stability Operations.
-Bridge the gap between social, folkloric,
religious and language cultural barriers.
- Provide a sustainable amount of

DoD directive 3000.05
MindTel proposes to engage in an operational
experimentation process that leverages off of
existing/on going UNCLASSIFIED cross
domain information sharing efforts within the
CENTCOM/NATO AOR (Jalalabad,
Afghanistan) and to explore extending those
efforts to areas within the emerging
AFRICOM/EUCOM/NATO AOR in places such
as Darfur.

Little Understanding on how to conduct Stability Operations
Problem(s)
• Deploying, with precision, the appropriate stability-ops related
resources at the right place and time into indigenous enclaves in
order to produce favorable mission outcomes per DoD 3000.5
• Identifying cultural perceptible patterns from homogeneous patterns
• Bridging gaps in understanding between social, folkloric, religious
and language cultural barriers at intervention level
• Deploying useable and acceptable technologies that facilitate
processing and sharing of current knowledge among DoD, NGO,
coalition partners and others in support of stability operations.
• Conducting small scale operational exercises that assess the validity
of modeled metrics for conducting successful stability ops; creating

comparable to combat operations.” DoD 3000.5

Goal
Develop a process to facilitate information
sharing for stability operations among the DoD
Components, and relevant U.S. Departments
and Agencies, foreign governments and security
forces, International Organizations, NGOs, and
members of the Private Sector while adequately
protecting classified information and intelligence
sources and methods, in coordination with
relevant DoD and non-DoD entities.
Operational Context
Recent deployments to Afghanistan,
Indonesia and Iraq have highlighted
the profound need for shareable
situational awareness tools and visual
representation methods to uncover
perceptible patterns; and further
enable rapid sharing of complex
critical data in a timely manner within
and amongst multiple coalition
partners and an emerging array of
non-traditional partners.
•
•
Our experience is based upon
over five years of research and
experimentation.
•
These capabilities are needed to
assist the DoD in planning where,
how and with whom to deploy
stability-ops related resource with
precision in order to achieve
mission success.
Operational Experimentation
• We propose to engage in an operational experimentation process
that leverages off of existing/on going UNCLASSIFIED cross domain
information sharing efforts within the CENTCOM/NATO AOR
(Jalalabad, Afghanistan) and to explore extending those efforts to
areas within the emerging AFRICOM/EUCOM/NATO AOR in places
such as Darfur.

• ABOUT DR. DAVE WARNER, M.D., PH.D.
• Much of Warner's recent work and travels have been to
global hotspots where his "intelligence on demand" has
been applied to solving or ameliorating both military
problems -- mine detection in Iraq, for example -- to
humanitarian relief and intelligence gathering and
distribution in mega-disaster zones like Banda Aceh,
Indonesia following the tsunami .
• "Mother Nature is the worst terrorist of all," Warner dryly
observed, pointing to the havoc caused in Banda Aceh
by one of the worst disasters in recorded history. His
efforts there were focused on airborne informatics and
helping rescuers and relief workers on the ground better
understand the scope and magnitude of that far-flung
disaster as it unfolded.
