BASOPS - Missing Link to the Readiness Equation.

Abstract

Currently, Base Operations (BASOPS) funding is grossly inadequate-providing insufficient resources to support installation quality of life (QOL) programs and services. This discrepancy is destroying our installation's infrastructure and having an adverse impact on QOL and ultimately readiness. Recently, some senior military leaders have addressed Congress on readiness issues and priorities, specifically inadequate QOL. They must enter round two with a strategic plan that includes BASOPS as part of the readiness equation. If this is ignored, our installations' infrastructure will continue to deteriorate to a point beyond recovery, and our support programs and services will not meet the critical needs of our soldiers and their families.
