GIS provides an integrated platform to support special forces operations by facilitating information sharing, synthesizing multi-source intelligence, and enabling decision making. It normalizes different types of data like maps, imagery, and social media to be accessible on mobile and desktop apps. GIS serves various functions for special forces like planning, operations, intelligence analysis, and situational awareness. Case studies show how GIS supports NATO by enabling "fighting off the same map" and the US Army through its geospatial enterprise which uses GIS for planning, command posts, sensors, and mobile users.
