National Defense Cntr For Enviro Excellence
Abstract
The National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence (NDCEE) was established by Congress in 1990 with a directive to "serve as a national leadership organization to address high priority environmental problems for the Department of Defense (DoD), other government organizations, and the industrial community." In May 2008, the Program was re-designated from the National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence to the National Defense Center for Energy and Environment to ensure that the Center's mission recognizes and addresses the strategic interdependence of energy and environmental technology requirements within an overall sustainability framework in support of our installations, weapons systems and war fighters. This name change also directly supports the DoD's proactive implementation of Executive Order 13423, "Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy and Transportation Management." The NDCEE Program has evolved into a national resource for demonstrating, validating and transitioning innovative Environmental, Safety & Occupational Health and Energy (ESOHE) technologies. This Program is managed by the Army on behalf of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment. The United States (U.S.) Army's broadly encompassing and growing mobile, personal and stationary technological requirements include: infrastructure, alternative and synthetic energy, training lands, emerging contaminates, transportation, systems integration, personnel well-being, and others. Further, to train as we fight, validated ESOHE technologies need to be available and implemented at Army installations. The NDCEE will continue to demonstrate, validate, and transfer these technologies supporting our integrated environment, energy, safety, occupational health and energy objectives to enable mission, readiness, innovation, lethality and modernization to ensure our Soldiers maintain a technological advantage over our adversaries.
