Managing Army's Environment

"Finding the path where both military readiness and environmental stewardship are reinforced

and improved by one another... is a very narrow path; but it is the path we must take to act as responsible defenders and citizens of

our country."

Thomas E. WhiteSecretary of the Army

The Path

Army's EMS aims to widen the path

The GoalThe Goal

The Platform -- Sustainable InstallationsThe Platform -- Sustainable Installations

The Tool --The Tool --Army' s mission-focused ISO 14001 EMS Army' s mission-focused ISO 14001 EMS

Army EMS Timelines

Two requirements: 1. EO 13148 requires an EMS NLT 12/31/05

Must meet all 5 EMS Implementation criteria

2. Army EMS Action Memorandum requires a mission-focused, ISO 14001 conforming EMS NLT 2009 Part of overall Army Transformation Part of Transforming Installation Management

The Shift

Major shift in desired end-state: Current Goal – Compliance with regulatory

requirements. Obeying the law is essential but it doesn’t ensure mission sustainability.

New Goal – Sustainable & transforming operations. Can't happen without sustainable installations. Manage environmental issues to ensure long-term mission transition and continuance. (Still includes regulatory compliance.)

Executive Order 13148, “Greening of Government Through Leadership in Environmental Management” requires an Environmental Management System at appropriate federal facilities by December 31, 2005.The Army Environmental Management System Action Memorandum requires a mission focus and conformance with the internationally recognized ISO 14001 EMS Standard NLT FY09."Installations" include all units, activities, programs, and tenants within fence lines. Formal definition is in DA PAM 405-45 para 2-3.For compliance with E.O. 13148, Army installations have an Environmental Management System in place when all five actions below are complete:

A policy statement consistent with the Army Environmental Management System Action Memorandum has been signed by the Garrison Commander & all Mission Commanders. An installation-wide Army Environmental Management System self-assessment has been documented and briefed to all Mission Commanders and signed by the Garrison Commander.

Installation personnel have received awareness-level briefings on Army's Environmental Management System.

A written plan with defined dates, identified resources, and organizational responsibilities for implementing a mission-advancing ISO 14001 Environmental Management System NLT FY09 hasbeen approved by Mission Commanders and signed by the Garrison Commander.

The Garrison Commander & all Mission Commanders conduct a documented annualreview of progress on the implementation plan to assure mission focus and ISO 14001 conformanceNLT FY09.

Getting Started

Download ISO 14001 from DENIX EMS webpage Build it yourself

Take advantage of DA tools, awareness & templates Put best people on it & give resources Avoid ‘turnkey’ contractor packages

Do a self-assessment -- count everything Define mission & leadership priorities Start with what’s easiest or most important Don’t worry about external registration Think smart vs compliance
