Interagency Interoperability Oversight Group (IIOG)

The Interagency Interoperability Oversight Group was self-chartered to develop and foster interoperable network and land mobile radio communications between and among the land managing agencies of the DOI and Forest Service. They seek solutions that share agency resources and capabilities rather than solutions that merely connect systems. One example is the "Access and Authentication" project designed to allow DOI Bureau employees to log on to a Forest Service computer and reach their bureau network, the internet and other appropriate applications. Forest Service employees will be able to do this in reverse.
