6 Strengthening relationships using APAN Optimizing coherence among diverse organizations US further strengthens relationships with allies and partners when using APAN to provide tools used in real-world crisis events and training exercises. During RIMPAC, exercise controllers use APAN to provide collaborative simulation environments by organizing operations and scenario events through blogs, wikis, forums and RSS feeds. During RIMPAC 1 and 14 multi-national participant s used APAN to produce over, incident reports that were added to maps which provided immediate situational awareness within simulated training events. Strengthening readiness in the Asia-Pacific region The Multinational Communications Interoperability Program (MCIP) brings together partner nation militaries and HADR experts from around the world to develop, test, and improve communication systems across the Pacific. MCIP uses APAN to promote humanitarian communication for its planning workshops to modernize and strengthen partnerships. Part of the Pacific Endeavor 14 exercise included Nepalese amateur radio operators who reported earthquake aftershocks to US using APAN forum posts. This practice proved successful as partners around the world knew how to communicate during the 15 Nepal Earthquake using the bulletin board established on APAN. Through these exercises, US provides a centralized location to share information, increase situational awareness while decreasing response time. Planning with multinational partners The Multinational Planning Augmentation Team (MPAT), a cooperative program with 3 partner nations, is essential to the Asia-Pacific nations who work together through collaborative planning to facilitate the rapid and effective establishment and/or augmentation of a multinational task force headquarters. To coordinate events and workshops, such as their TEMPEST EXPRESS series, APAN is used for registration, coordination and planning in an effort to promote multinational crisis response and capabilities by MPAT nations. MPAT uses APAN wiki s to develop a common set of procedures that assist to improve interoperability of coalition combined forces and to host Multinational Force Standing Operating Procedures. Providing collaborative environments for HADR During Typhoon Haiyan Response, US coordinated relief activities in accordance with its Theater Campaign Plan to collect and disseminate information that needed to be shared with the Philippine government, foreign militaries and NGOs participating in the response effort. US was able to remove information silos for first-responders who did not have access to information. US increased situational awareness by using APAN as a centralized location to share information allowing responders immediate updates on events, reducing the duplication of efforts.
