– Present requirements are met without compromising ability of future generations to meet their own needs
What is “Sustainability”?
MISSION FIRST…PEOPLE ALWAYS…ONE TEAM
1. Reduce traffic congestion and Air emissions by 85% by 2025.
2. Reduce Air Pollutants from training without a reduction in training activity
3. Reduce stationary source Air emissions by 85% by 2025.

5 Year ObjectiveImplement the use of environmentally
friendly obscurants and dust control where feasible.
Projects:• Monitor results of the Army wide PM 2.5
study• Keep informed of any new Army obscurant
technology• Keep informed of any new Army obscurant
technology• Pursue the use of Commercial Off the Shelf
(COTS) dust suppression

MISSION FIRST…PEOPLE ALWAYS…ONE TEAM
Air Quality Goal #3
5 Year ObjectivesUse the environmental
vs financial lifecycle evaluation in decision making process
Use of water based/Low VOC CARC Paint
Use of Biodiesel for backup generators and boilers.
Reduce stationary source Air emissions by 85% by 2025.
Progress to dateOn-going modification
process
Low Voc CARC Paint has just been approved for all weapon systems. Water based CARC paint to be used for Aerospace
Equipment Manufacturers Warranty issues

Challenges
• Getting people to internalize the lifecycle cost concept, making a Culture change
• Getting paint approved • Biodiesel in Generators/boilers
MISSION FIRST…PEOPLE ALWAYS…ONE TEAM
Lessons Learned
• Need to keep momentum going• Difficult to implement behavior
change, daily practices, mindset, • Constant Reinforcement of cultural
change• Objective changes to reach goal• Accept some things unable to
change• Baby steps
