Sustainability Indices for Military Installations. An Annotated Bibliography

Abstract

Army installations must "sustain" their own existence in the context of surrounding civilian communities, the environment, and the Army as a whole. Yet, "sustain ability" is not a clearly defined concept. Army installations have no objective indicators of sustainability, and no clear path to achieve sustain ability. The objectives of this study were to: (1) define what is meant by a "sustainable Army installation"; (2) identify and apply indices of sustain ability for the Army installation; and (3) identify indicators of sustain ability and ways to achieve sustain ability that will enhance installation survivability and competitiveness as a platform for accomplishing the Army mission. This report contains a bibliography of past and current research in the area of sustain ability indices.
