Study to Improve Real Property Operations and Maintenance in the U.S. Army.
Abstract
Objective analyses of the Operations and Maintenance (O and M) component of the Real Property Management System (RPMS) indicate that system management and execution cannot be optimized under a centalized organizational concept. Although, several positive measures have been and are being taken to improve the Army's management of its real property, these do not provide an optimal solution to the Army's operation and maintenance problems. Although work load continues to increase, the available personnel resources continue to decline. This shortfall of resources potentially impacts Army readiness and the soldiers' quality of life. Comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of various alternatives for organizational alignment demonstrates that the best balance of installation needs, asset protection, and cost-efficient operations can be attained through establishment of an engineer command utilizing a revolving fund for RPMA. Adoption of this concept will not only improve overall system management, but, at a minimum, has the potential to reduce personnel requirements in the Continental United States by approximately 1,400 spaces.
