Antietam. NIMA. One of a series of 14 maps based on surveys of the Antietam Battlefield showing military positions during the course of the battle. The originals are located at the Antietam National Battlefield.
These maps were created in response to a congressional mandate to document significant Civil War battlefields. The purpose was to gain a greater understanding of the movement of troop, artillery and cavalry units as they maneuvered to win an advantage. In the end, the opposing forces became bogged down ending in a stalemate. Information is depicted on this map just as modern day Geospatial Intelligence products are used today.

Normandy Air Campaign. NIMA. P-47 fighter-bombers, along with other planes such as the Hawker Typhoon, formed an intimate partnership with allied ground forces during the Normandy Campaign.
Through close communication with mobile air-ground control posts known as "contact cars" that accompanied leading armored forces, aircraft pilots were kept informed of enemy and friendly ground locations. This information exchange helped pilots execute precision air strikes on waiting German forces and significantly reduced the chance of allied troops falling victim to friendly air fire.
