Developing Exemplary Civilian-Military Relationships

Abstract

This study originally proposed that ICMA analyze effective local military/civilian working relationships developed through community/base councils. However, it soon became evident that not all military/civilian communities operate such councils. Nevertheless, they often did cooperate through other means, such as a chamber of commerce or the Navy League. How these other vehicles maintained vehicles maintained exemplary military/civilian relationships also became important to the investigation. The research is presented here in two parts: (1) The MIS Report records the results of site visit interviews with six military installation commanders and the city managers of nearby communities and focuses on a particular problem such as land use, encroachment, or housing. (2) The Special Data Issue, Military-Civilian Relations--1988 tabulate the responses to a questionnaire by over 1000 city managers. ICMA used their Urban Service, a division which has a listing of all ICMA members, to disseminate the survey to city managers of communities where Department of Defense (DoD) installations are present.
