  2. What is Sustainability? The Army Planning Process Moving forward Some Initial Results Schedule Overview

  3. What is Sustainability? “Sustainability is a national security imperative in a world of decreasing natural resources and increasing demand. The Army is building green, buying green, and going green in order to ensure that Soldiers have the resources they need to accomplish their mission in the United States and globally.”- Secretary of the U.S. Army,Mr. Pete Geren.From STAND-TO! Edition: October 09, 2007

  4. “Planet Earth” - The Challenges

  5. Demands for Airspace UXO Challenges to the Military Mission Frequency encroachment Endangered Species Urban Growth Air Quality Noise READINESS • Decreased access to resources • Increased costs • Work-arounds • Encroachment • Lost productivity SROC Concerns Source: SECDEF Senior Readiness Oversight Council Report to Congress 2001

  6. EO 13423 Energy Policy Act of 2005 Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 Army Strategy for the Environment Formal Drivers

  7. The Vision • Sustainability Defined • A sustainable Army simultaneously • meets current as well as future mission requirements worldwide • safeguards human health • improves quality of life, and • enhances the natural environment. • The Army Strategy for the Environment • Our Goals • Foster a sustainability ethic • Strengthen Army operations • Meet test, training, and mission requirements • Minimize impacts and total ownership costs • Enhance well-being • Drive innovation “Triple bottom line” Plus – Mission, Environment, Community + Economy

  8. Another Look – Triple Bottom Line Plus • Earth – Necessary to live • Mission – Necessary to succeed • Community – Necessary to thrive • Plus – Create new economic capacity/sustain improvement

  9. Myth: Sustainability costs more Myth: Sustainability = environment Myth: Sustainability is not environment Truth: Sustainability improves odds for success Truth: Sustainability supports effective mission Truth: Sustainability creates efficiencies (Business Transformation) Sustainability Myths

  26. Content Introduction to strategic planning process and sustainability Working sessions to identify and characterize core business processes and installation issues Participants Commander (or Representative) receives out-brief Directors (or Deputies) and key staff Installation sustainability lead (PAIO) AEC team Deliverables: Team proponents and membership Core business areas Initial list of significant impacts on mission, well-being, environment Pre-Planning Session

  27. Determine your starting point by reviewing these factors: Installation mission and tenants Strategic planning status Existing environmental and well-being programs Geographic and regional information (environmental, economic, and social) Regional land use and transportation plans Existence/maturity of regional sustainability initiatives Articulate Potential Installation Concerns

  28. Articulating local concerns… Fort Bragg, faces the following issues that may impact its mission: • A 125,000 acre training land shortfall – and a community growing up to the fenceline • Air quality failing to meet federal standards -> potential constraints on smoke/obscurant use, construction, and transportation • Annual water demand of over 3 billion gallons – and the upstream demand for water growing exponentially • Skyrocketing resource costs: $40M/year for energy alone Incompatible development near Fort Bragg’s Ste. Mere Eglise drop zone, which can no longer be used for some activities.
