Potential COVOST missions:

The following are potential COVOST missions listed from least liability for responding agency to highest. A responding agency is highly discouraged from utilizing the COVOST for the platform creation and/or publication. While these services could be filled by the COVOST, the COVOST prefers to come alongside an agency to enhance their efforts rather than simply do it all for them.

Services offered by the COVOST are meant to enhance the capabilities of a sponsoring agency not replace them. A potential sponsoring agency should not look the COVOST as a primary resource but rather as a secondary and supplementary program.
