variety of languages to allow ease of instruction and a training site that replicates the actual
portal but does not have a live feed. The registration process should have drop downs where
SMEs can note their particular civilian skill sets,
licenses, or accreditations into a functional specialty area database. This format would be the
heart of the database and query tools should be
built into it so you can quickly identify SMEs
with particular skills for a particular problem.
3. Create a project office. Assign this office to USACAPOC or SOCOM with full-time military
and civilian staff. They will manage the portal
database on a daily basis, track response times
on incoming/outgoing CIM RFIs, communicate with the applicable command for responses, and offer software /technical help desk
support. This office should also be manned
with individuals who would ensure the continual doctrinal CAO aspect of analyzing CIM
that requires specialized CA skills to develop
actionable products such as linkage diagrams.
Therefore, conceptually this office would have
a branch that handles the day to day administrative aspects of operating the system and another branch that performs as a CIM think-tank
by doing strategic level analysis on data in the
system.
Daily Operation and Use of System Once Created
Once fielded, trained/registered, and operational,
the remote CIM portal database would be ever expanding and could not only tie in USAR CA SMEs
but also active duty CA counterparts, interagency
