The application of astrometric surveys to understanding the structure and kinematics of the Milky Way is discussed, with particular emphasis on some of the issues expected to be addressed in the next decade or so. It is shown that the results of complete proper motion surveys of field stars at the Galactic poles are in remarkable agreement concerning the global kinematics of stars as a function of distance, but that significant differences exist in how these data are decomposed to derive the kinematics of individual Galactic components. The status and future prospects regarding the measurement of proper motions and orbits for Galactic globular clusters and satellites are also discussed.
