AGENDAAGENDA Defining Sustainability
What it isn’t
“Official” Definitions
Why Sustainability Current Operations Sustainable System Requirements Challenges Conclusion The Way Ahead
Sustainability Is NotSustainability Is Not Just an Army Issue Just about Military Forces Sustainment Compliance Mandated Something for DPWs Just about Installations / Base Camps Another Environmental Thing “A Bad Thing” A Quick Fix A Done then Over Operations
Sustainability DefinitionSustainability DefinitionJP 1-02 - See Military Capability d. sustainability — The ability to maintain the necessary level and duration of operational activity to achieve military objectives. Sustainability is a function of providing for and maintaining those levels of ready forces, materiel, and consumables necessary to support military effort.
Army Strategy for the Environment – “paraphrased”sustainability — The ability to simultaneously meet current as well as future mission requirements worldwide, safeguard human health, improve quality of life, and enhance the natural environment.
