Naval Readiness, Operational Training, and Environmental Protection: Achieving an Appropriate Balance between Competing National Interests
Abstract
This paper describes the interrelationships between naval readiness, operational training and environmental protection. Surveys fourteen environmental laws which either directly or indirectly impact on operational training and/or installation support of that training. Describes the roles that civilians outside the Department of Defense may play in implementing and enforcing environmental laws on naval installations. Provides an example of how the Department of the Navy integrated environmental protection and operational training so that the naval services could continue to use a key training facility. Concludes with a proposed strategy designed to assist the naval services in establishing and maintaining an appropriate balance between environmental protection and mission accomplishment on a case-by-case basis.
