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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Encroachment is an ongoing problem for the Department of Defense (DOD). DOD developed strategies to deal with this issue, including the Readiness and Environmental Protection Initiative (REPI). REPI projects balance mission readiness and conservation by creating buffer zones around military installations with encroachment problems. It does this by entering into cooperative agreements with eligible partners to purchase fee simple or some lesser interest in land in the vicinity of a military installation that has a dual benefit, limiting incompatible development and conservation.While REPI has become an important tool for DOD, there are shortcomings in the program inhibiting its effectiveness. DOD needs not only to provide better guidance to the services on REPI, but how to better incorporate Sikes Act cooperative agreements into range sustainment and leveraging other federal programs that have similar goals. Other legislative changes are needed for the program to continue its success, such as creation of a fund to hold the annual appropriations and authorization to use funds outside the fiscal year they were appropriated for. With changes such as these, REPI can continue to build on its current successes"--Page iv.
