• Develop an overall strategy and implementation
plan
– Step-wise goals and objectives
– Metrics and indicators
– Programs and resources
“… a blueprint to enable the installation to effectively
respond to future Army missions and community
aspirations, while providing the capability to train, project,
sustain and [transform] today’s force.”

Assistant Secretary ofthe Army (Installations and Environment) 3-28-02 OASA (I&E) 3 What is sustainability? the “academic” response “…broadly refers to the persistence of the integrity and structure of a system over time.” – (Costanza et al. 2001) “…the ability of a system to continue functioning into the future without being forced into decline through the exhaustion or overloading of the key resources on which that system depends” – (Gilman 1996; AIA 1996)
- 4. Assistant Secretary ofthe Army (Installations and Environment) 3-28-02 OASA (I&E) 4 What is sustainability? the “text book” response “…meeting the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” – (World Commission on Environment and Development 1987)
- 5. Assistant Secretary ofthe Army (Installations and Environment) 3-28-02 OASA (I&E) 5 What is installation sustainability? … a condition in which an installation is able to fully execute its present missions without compromising either its ability to accomplish future missions or the ability of its neighboring communities to realize their aspirations. – Emphasis on sustaining the mission must incorporate link with the natural and built environments within which soldiers and civilians live, work, play and train. – Requires additional focus on the social, economic and physical well-being of soldiers and civilian personnel, their families and communities, all of whom are impacted.

- 29. Assistant Secretary ofthe Army (Installations and Environment) 3-28-02 OASA (I&E) 29 Summary • Sustaining installations and mission capabilities requires an integrated (“whole-systems”) understanding of the significant issues that may impede our ability to meet mission requirements • Stationing decisions and installation plans provide opportunities to resolve these issues and move toward sustainable installations and operations • Management systems provide the discipline and structure needed for integrating sustainability into all aspects of installation operations
- 30. Assistant Secretary ofthe Army (Installations and Environment) 3-28-02 OASA (I&E) 30 A sustainable installation: • Optimizes military training and support missions • Contributes to the well-being of soldiers, civilians, their families, and the community – Provides world-class facilities – Makes a positive contribution to the community • Is cost-effective to operate (“cradle-to- cradle”) • Is ecologically sustainable: – Uses only renewable materials and energy resources

Editor's Notes
- #21 These challenges are acting together to force the Army to seek innovative solutions to difficult problems.First – the diverse nature of the threats around the world have dictated the need for the Army to change. Army TRANFORMATION will radically change the way the Army operates and have a “ripple effect” on all the other activities touched by Army operations. Second – America – the “land of plenty” is feeling the pinch of resources in short supply - The resulting competition is raising prices and creating questions of availability. Fuel is the most obvious resource – and the Army is a MAJOR consumer. Gas shortages and price increases always lead the nagging question – “what is our plan B for conducting operations without fossil fuels? Third - The public’s concern about health concerns associated with pollution has increased dramatically. This awareness has prompted concerned citizens to form groups and influence policy to address real (and suspected ) causes of pollution. At Massachusetts Military Reservation, live fire was halted 4 years ago by EPA, while studies to determine the threat to a sole source aquifer are completed. Finally Encroachment has become an IMMEDIATE threat to maintaining combat readiness. Urban development along installation fencelines can severely limit realistic training. The Army – in pursuing a non-confrontational relationship with its neighbors – has repeatedly curtailed training—to the point now where MOST of the ranges are operating at MAXIMUM capacity to provide the MINIMUM standard of READINESS. The bottom line is READINESS.
- #31 And to that end, I’ve been kicking around this definition with some of my colleagues, which attempts to capture all those moving parts in one definition: our productivity in terms of military training; the wellbeing of individuals on the installation and in the community; The Natural Step definition of environmental sustainability.
