Approaches to the Implementation of Environment Pollution Prevention Technologies at Military Bases (Approches de l'application des techniques de prevention de la pollution sur les bases militaires)
Abstract
Military operations within the framework of Environmental Security are largely dependent on conformance with national and international laws or agreements to protect the air, water and ground resources. Pollution must be controlled, modified, or eliminated at the source. Society is paying a very high price today to restore and reclaim resources that have been subjected to wanton pollution for many years by both military and civilian users. Many NATO and Partnership for Peace operations and training exercises are now being constrained by national and international environmental laws. Military forces, air, land and sea, must be enabled to operate and train under a wide variety of conditions. Serious consideration must be given to compliance with the body of environmental law either in existence or now being written. Pollution Prevention activities will ensure the ability to continue operations without undue penalty or restriction.
