The Global Emerging Infections Surveillance (GEIS) program is the only Department of Defense (DoD) organization that coordinates global surveillance for emerging infectious diseases that affect US military forces operating in the United States or foreign locations. Since 1997, the GEIS program has focused on surveilling pathogens likely to affect military operations and the health of service members. The foundation of the GEIS program is the long-standing, mutually beneficial relationships between the DoD overseas laboratories and their host-country partners and militaries. Through centralized programmatic support, the GEIS program provides the infrastructure needed for a rapid and scalable response to emerging threats. The GEIS program continues to enhance and evolve its initiatives to provide timely, reliable information to decision-makers in the DoD. The GEIS program has been and will continue to be a vital source of actionable biosurveillance information during infectious disease events of global public health concern.
全球新发传染病监测（GEIS）计划是美国国防部（DoD）中唯一协调全球新发传染病监测工作的组织，这些传染病会影响在美国或境外地区执行任务的美军。自 1997 年以来，GEIS 计划一直致力于监测可能影响军事行动和军人健康的病原体。GEIS 计划的基础是国防部海外实验室与其所在国合作伙伴和军队之间长期存在的互利关系。通过集中的计划支持，GEIS 计划为快速和可扩展的应对新兴威胁提供了所需的基础设施。GEIS 计划继续加强和发展其各项举措，为国防部的决策者提供及时、可靠的信息。GEIS 计划一直是、并将继续成为具有全球公共卫生意义的传染病事件中可采取行动的生物监测信息的重要来源。
