This publication describes the functions performed, and the geospatial support provided, by the geospatial engineer. It provides the background knowledge to enable commanders and staffs to fully leverage their geospatial engineers. The geospatial engineer collects, generates, manages, and provides the foundational geospatial information for the common operational picture (COP). The geospatial engineer produces terrain visualization products and tailored terrain analysis, thus enabling a comprehensive understanding of the operational environment and informed decision making when the geospatial engineer is integrated into staff processes, the staff is able to better address the commander's questions about the physical environment and its operational effects.
