The DoD manages and operates 577,000 structures worldwide, valued at about $712 billion. DoD has worked for several years to develop models that can reliably estimate the installation support funds needed to sustain these facilities, and plans to spend over $55 billion to support these facilities and operate its bases in FY2008. This report discusses: (1) the reliability of the annual funding estimates produced by the facilities sustainment model; (2) DoD¿s progress in meeting funding goals for facility sustainment and recapitalization; (3) the extent to which DoD has addressed deferred facility sustainment funding needs; and (4) the status of DoD¿s efforts to develop a new installation services model. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The DoD¿s training ranges vary in size from a few acres, for small arms training, to over a million acres for large maneuver exercises and weapons testing, and include broad open ocean areas for offshore training and testing. DoD has defined a number of factors -- including competition for broadcast frequencies or airspace, air and noise pollution, endangered species, critical habitats and other protected resources, unexploded munitions, urban growth around installations, and civilian access -- that it says encroach upon its training ranges. This report discusses: (1) DoD¿s progress in addressing this issue; and (2) improvements incorporated in DoD¿s 2009 annual sustainable ranges report as well as DoD¿s plans for its 2010 report. Charts and tables.
