Then and Now Ted Richan, CALIBRE
Installation focus is on managing assets within their controlled space (e.g. military training and test ranges) - Safety - Training effectiveness Installations are also creating and managing shared assets - REPI Buffers - Military Operations Areas - Transportation Corridors Current Initiatives
Challenges Competing land uses and defining future requirements for - Training and Testing - Environment - Energy Security Competing resource priorities…How to fund projects with paybacks that are difficult to quantify
Emerging Initiatives Conveyance of BRAC or excess real property to support military construction or limit encroachment (e.g. KSAAP) Decreased focus on prevention and preservation. Increased focus on planning for compatible uses (e.g. local food movement)
Emerging Initiatives cont. Planning installation and community energy projects. Examples could include - A wind farm on buffer lands adjacent to a large maneuver training-based Army installation - A geothermal plant on buffer lands adjacent to a large testing and evaluation range complex. - A biomass-to-energy plant on REPI lands adjacent to a large Army training installation.
