Army Facilities Management: A New Strategy for a New Environment

Abstract

The Army's standard organization and standard approach to managing its facilities are not appropriate. At military installations, the missions differ, the sizes and ages of the facilities differ, the amounts of contracted services differ, and the management styles and local work forces differ. These differences require that each Directorate of Engineering and Housing (DEH) be free to adopt organizational arrangements and operating procedures suited to the conditions at its particular installation. This decentralization of responsibility and authority has increased management effectiveness in the private sector and the DoD. Army's regulations and guidance governing facilities management are not in harmony with the DoD's general policy of decentralizing as much responsibility and authority as possible.
