192nd Intelligence Squadron, Civil Air Patrol exercise GIIEP capabilities in a joint tasking – July 23, 2012

The 192nd Intelligence Squadron worked together with the Civil Air Patrol during the Commonwealth Guardian exercise to fulfill a joint tasking utilizing Geospatial Information Interoperability Exploitation Portable technology. The mission entailed disaster assessment for the simulated winter weather scenario at six locations: two near Norton City, and four between Bristol and Montgomery, Va., along interstate 81. In a real world situation, this capability allows leadership to understand the extent of the damage across the state, and can assist in deciding where to allocate resources and personnel.
