ABSTRACT
In the post-9/11 world, the private sector and multiple government organizations at the Federal, State, and local levels need to work more closely together than before to prevent and solve problems, including terrorist actions.
The Readiness Model is a tool to help in planning, training for, and executing actions that require the participation of multiple organizations with interacting command and control structures. The model provides a logic for assessing the degree to which organizations need to work together to get a given job done and the degree to which they are prepared to do so. Readiness Model analysis involves the discipline and artifacts of Enterprise Architecture, using an Operations-Centric representation that describes the specific activities performed, the services required, and decision responsibilities to perform the mission.
This paper illustrates the application of the Readiness Model to a scenario and architecture that involve a hypothetical biological and radiological threat.
