abstract = "The Spitzer Space Telescope Warm Mission capability, specifically broadband IRAC imaging at 3.6 and 4.5 μm, provides a unique opportunity to probe the content and structure of the Milky Way's disk, particularly along lines of sight that suffer significant interstellar obscuration. This white paper examines the factors that favor and constrain the application of a warm Spitzer to Galactic structure and interstellar medium science. Although the paper briefly discusses some specific survey choices, its primary purpose is to highlight the value of an extended Spitzer mission and outline the factors that might influence the construction of a large proposal focused on Galactic science in the future.",
