Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Program: 2019 REPI Challenge Awards
Abstract
The Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) Program fosters multi-agency initiatives and collaboration to preserve compatible land uses near military installations and ranges. These efforts preserve and enhance Department of Defense (DoD) assets and capabilities in support of military readiness through the creation of unique cost-sharing partnerships with state and local governments and private conservation organizations. The REPI Program has protected over 586,000 acres of land near 106 DoD installations in 33 states through fiscal year 2018. Incompatible development outside military bases can leave the military with significant management and recovery responsibilities for threatened, endangered, and other at-risk species. These management challenges often diminish the DoDs ability to use its land optimally to test, train, and operate.
