of the Afghan people are being met.
Because the Khost PRT comprises
both active and reserve sailors and sol-
diers with various backgrounds and
expertise, theres a great range of expe-
rience and information that members
can tap into to help ?x any problem that
may arise, Sgt. Cochran said.

U.S. Army Geospatial Center: The Newest Major Subordinate Command
The U.S. Army Geospatial Center
(AGC), formerly known as the Engi-
neer Research and Development Cen-
ters Topographic Engineering Center
(TEC), became a Major Subordinate
Command center under the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) effective
Oct. 1, 2009.
AGC will continue TECs legacy of
providing timely, accurate, geospatial
support and products to war?ghters,
but will expand its mission to support
Army Battle Command systems by fa-
cilitating the dissemination of relevant
geospatial information to every level
across the dynamic battle?eld environ-
ment. Additionally, the center will coor-
dinate, integrate and synchronize geo-
spatial information requirements and
standards across the Army and develop
and ?eld geospatial enterprise-enabled
systems and capabilities to the Army
and Department of Defense.
I view this as the nations geospa-
tial center, said Lt. Gen. Robert Van
Antwerp, P.E., F.SAME, USA, the Army
Chief of Engineers and USACE Com-
manding General. What you are able
to give the soldier is amazing. With
study, and with your products, they can
understand the terrain where theyre
going to operate so much better.
Geospatial information is undergo-
ing a revolutionary change, said Robert
Burkhardt, AGC Director and the Armys
Geospatial Information Of?cer. While
hardcopy mapping products remain
critical to current operations, more
detailed, interactive digital, geospatial
data is providing new opportunities for
both commanders and soldiers. Geo-
spatial data provides foundation for a
common operational picture (COP).
AGC will provide standard and share-
able geospatial information necessary
to enable this COP, support Battle Com-
mand on the move, and allow soldiers
to operate effectively and ef?ciently in
a net-centric environment within an
overall Army-wide, network-enabled
system of systems.
AGCs people, projects and programs
will equip commanders and soldiers
with the ability to exploit a net-centric,
enterprise environment that allows
geospatial information to be collected
once, then processed, exploited and
shared among all soldiers and their or-
ganizations in a timely manner. These
efforts will reduce redundancy, con-
serve scarce resources and personnel,
