Environmentally Sustainable Acquisition/Logistics
Abstract
The Environmentally Sustainable Acquisition/Logistics (ESAL) project provides support to the system acquisition community to integrate environmental quality (EQ) issues and concerns into the life cycle system acquisition process. To a much lesser extent, safety and occupational health (OH), energy efficiency and materials compatibility are also addressed. The focus of ESAL is on improving readiness, improving acquisition processes, reducing supportability burden, and minimizing total ownership cost. The Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment [ASA(IE&E)] has defined the functions of the ESAL project in coordination with the Army Acquisition Executive, the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology), and the Commanding General, Army Materiel Command (AMC). This project provides direct support to the Army acquisition community to pursue environmental sustainability and comply with legal statutes, policy and regulations during the life cycle of Army materiel. ESAL helps the Army achieve compliance with its weapon systems, industrial base, field and deployed activities directed by international treaties, Federal statutes, Executive Orders, Department of Defense (DoD) and Army policies and regulations.
