Another OPS [Office of Operations Coordination] led effort to enhance DHS and federal operations is DHS's Operations Coordination Group (OCG). This forum provides inter and intra departmental information sharing at the strategic operations officer level and includes representatives from DOD's Joint Director of Military Support, NORTHCOM Joint Staff J-3, National Guard Bureau J-3, FEMA, ICE, CBP, USCG, TSA, USSS, and CIS (additional members can be added at the discretion of the Group). This homeland security body enhances information flow and ensures that issues regarding planning, training, exercises, and incident management are properly coordinated in a timely manner. This semi-formal process with established agency and department representation helps foster needed interactions and feedback from peers on operational matters.
