GOER / GSATGOER / GSAT
GOER Deliberate Operational Planning Tool Provides Rapid Environmental Safety and Health
Impact Risk Analysis Provides Environmental Impact Analysis Strengths- Rapid, Operator Lingo, Reports and
Maps …Gives the Commander a Look at What’s Beyond the Airfield
Weaknesses – Database Lacks Meta-data, Data Is Open Source Data
GSAT = GOER on Growth Hormones Part of AFSOC GeoSpear In Development More Operational Focus New Layers That Relate to Global War on

How and Where Has GOERBeen Used?How and Where Has GOERBeen Used?
Used in OEF/OIF Used to Identify Bird Flight Pathway (Disease Vectors) for Outbreak
of Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever Used to Analyze Potential Forward Location Sites for Deployment
Requested by Member of AFSOC 6th SOS for Operational Needs
Deployed Operational Unit Called Back for Ground Water Well Data
“… When the preventive medicine team evaluates the site profile, we can use GOER as a starting point assessment of the location. We can then investigate further in other databases”
6 SOS Public Health Officer, 26 Sept 2003

Why Do We Need GSAT/GOER?Why Do We Need GSAT/GOER?
Future of Mission Planning
Reduce Injuries and Illnesses to Reduce Hospitalization and Long-term Care Ex. Malaria, leishmaniasis Reduce Patient Loading
Common Denominator Common User Interface Unified and Standard
Platform Mission Planning Starting
Point Same Sheet of Music
Capitalize on Multitude of Existing Databases Data Miner Integrate databases Web-based w/auto updates Tailor to the Mission Needs,
not Base Specific Develop Risk-based

“We like to manage our disease exposure. GOER is the only thing that even comes close. Targeting our exposures allow SOF medics to forward deploy already knowing what their potential exposures will be…enabling us to prepare for prevention, diagnosis and treatment. GOER is a virtual meeting table for people who need to know.”
Colonel Matthew Coatsworth, MD USAF

Summary… Planning-Level Environmental Information Superiority for WarriorsSummary… Planning-Level Environmental Information Superiority for Warriors
Analytical tool Secure, rapid OCONUS Environmental Situational
Awareness for operations Fast analyzed information, less than 30 minutes in
most cases OCONUS Deployable Potential CONUS applications
