Download or read book Integrated Facility Environmental Management Approaches written by Beth E. Lachman and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2001 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commercial facilities have discovered that pursuing integrated, facility wide approaches to environmental management is good for the environment and makes good business sense. Direct benefits can include cost savings, increased operational flexibility, and improved public image. But despite the benefits, implementation can be difficult, as Department of Defense (DoD) installations have discovered while trying such integrated approaches. Commercial facilities similar to DoD installations offer insights about how to implement integrated approaches successfully. Demonstrated success factors include getting and sustaining high-level leadership support for change until change is complete, which will take time; implementing an effective environmental management system, often based on an international environmental management standard, ISO 14001, throughout the organization; establishing proactive environmental goals and activities with clear relationships to the organization's core values and mission; training and motivating personnel; using creative environmental assessment and priority setting techniques; developing good relationships with all stakeholders. The commercial lessons offered here can help DoD and other organizations implement integrated facility wide approaches to environmental anagement.

This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other locations around the world have highlighted the need for U.S. forces to train as they intend to fight. DoD training ranges and operating areas are required to be managed and operated to support their long-term viability and utility to meet the national defense mission. Sustainable training range mgmt. focuses on the practices that allow the military to manage its ranges in a way that ensures their usefulness well into the future. This audit discusses: (1) the extent to which DoD's 2008 sustainable ranges report and training range inventory address the elements of section 366; and (2) opportunities for DoD to further improve its sustainable ranges report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the Army forecast that it would experience a 4.5-million-acre training land shortfall by 2013 and proposed to purchase additional land adjacent to certain existing training ranges. This report reviewed the Army's approach for acquiring training; it: (1) evaluates the Army's approach to the acquisition of training land; (2) describes the Army's consideration of alternatives and assessment of the environmental and economic effects; and (3) analyzes the Army's effectiveness in communicating its approach for making decisions to pursue these acquisitions. This report focused on all 5 land acquisitions since 2002 at Fort Irwin, Calif.; 3 training sites in Hawaii; and the proposed expansion of the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site in Colorado.

Book excerpt: Recent operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other locations around the world have highlighted the need for U.S. forces to train as they intend to fight. Military training ranges provide the primary means to accomplish this goal. Because the military faces obstacles in acquiring new training lands, the preservation and sustainment of its current lands are a priority. Sustainable training range management focuses on practices that allow the military to manage its ranges in a way that ensures their usefulness well into the future. This report reviews DoD¿s assessment of current and future training range requirements and evaluation of the adequacy of DoD¿s current range resources to meet those requirements.

Download or read book Implementing Proactive Environmental Management written by Frank A. Camm and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2001 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many large organizations, the Department of Defense (DoD) faces a serious challenge trying to balance core military, financial, and environmental goals. Over the last 15 years, DoD and other large, complex, global organizations have turned increasingly to proactive environmental management to balance such competing goals more successfully. Proactive approaches give organizations strategic flexibility but are difficult to implement. The authors first summarize how commercial firms have implemented proactive environmental management in weapon system design, logistics, base management, and environmental cleanup, then draw implications for DoD's environmental management efforts in these areas. The authors then propose an approach based on total quality management to define and monitor the details of this implementation effort.

Download or read book Green Warriors written by David E. Mosher and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2008 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent experiences in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Balkans have highlighted the importance of environmental considerations. These range from protecting soldier health and disposing of hazardous waste to building water supply systems and other activities that help achieve national goals in the post-conflict phase of contingency operations. The Army has become increasingly involved with environmental issues in every contingency operation and must be better prepared to deal with them. This study assesses whether existing policy, doctrine, and guidance adequately address environmental activities in post-conflict military operations and reconstruction. Findings are based on reviews of top-level policy and doctrine, analysis of operational experience, extensive interviews with diverse Army personnel, and a review of operational documentation and literature. From these sources, a database of 111 case studies was created. The research showed that environmental concerns can have far-reaching and significant impacts on the Army, both direct and indirect, especially in terms of cost, current operations, soldier health, diplomatic relations, reconstruction activities, and the ultimate success of the operation or the broader mission. Some evidence suggests that environmental problems may have even contributed to insurgency in Iraq. Recommendations include updating current policy and doctrine to fully address environmental considerations in contingency operations; ensuring that contractors are carefully selected and managed; and transmitting proactive field environmental practices and lessons throughout the Army.
