Flowing valued information based on a need to share

The ability to share information between organizations in an ad-hoc, networked environment frequently found in humanitarian assistance/disaster relief (HADR) operations, remains a challenge today. For example, US Armed Forces participating in HADR operations do not have an organic ability to share information bi-directionally with Non-Government Agencies (NGO) such as Doctors-Without-Borders. It such cases, communications are normally accomplished outside existing military networks.
