Integrate environmental considerations into theacquisition process to facilitate compliance,prevention andconservation throughoutthe system lifecycle.

Integrate pollution prevention concepts intoacquisition and logistics regulations/policies and therequirements-determination process.Incorporate environmental considerations intoCombat DevelopmentDocuments (MissionNeeds Statements &Operational RequirementsDocument), and Integrated ConceptTeam functions.

Identify leader environmental-related tasks,responsibilities, and duties to integrateenvironmental considerations into unit operations.

Full environmental integration will require Armyand civilian leaders with knowledge and skillsbeyond a simple awareness level.Commanders,staff, soldiers and environmentalprofessionals will needspecific training andoperational skills just tomeet joint doctrinal andoperational requirements.

Instill an environmental ethic in all soldiers andDOD civilians to integrate environmentalconsiderations into day-to-day activities andoperations.

ü Inculcate a soldier and civilianenvironmental ethic.

ü Link to the ethical decision-making process.

ü Develop soldier’s and civiliansprofessional and personalresponsibility to understand andsupport the Army’senvironmental program.

Ensure environmental considerations are incorporatedwhere support functions are provided to theoperational force.

The Unit of Action and Assured Mobility Conceptsand FCS systems will require larger home stationtraining areas and ranges to exercise the extendeddistances of FCS.

ü Involve communities in the decision-makingprocess.

ü Develop plans with local communities to aid inrelocation of threatened and endangered species toareas off the installation to increase training area.

Keys to achieving environmental integration:- USAES serve as the proponent for environmentalconsiderations across the DOTMLPF spectrum.

- Proactive doctrine and POI development andintegration by the Army and Joint services andcompletion of training packages for all Army courses.

- Acceptance and use of doctrine and unit trainingproducts by the field.- Review of training for CP 16 and 18 personnel.

- Sustained maintenance of DOTMLPF products..

- Periodic evaluation of integration, usage, andeffectiveness.
