Warfighter and Public Administrator: Managing Army Installations

Abstract

Installations are platforms for projecting Army combat power. They are also essential in sustaining a trained and ready force. The current National Military Strategy for the 21st century calls for a full spectrum force. The Army is transforming from a forward-based force to an expeditionary force that must deploy on short notice from our installation power projection platforms. As the installation's leader, the garrison commander must have the skills, experience and training necessary for installation management in the 21st century. This paper describes installations and their vital links to readiness and morale. It compares requirements for a Garrison Commander (warfighter) and a City Manager (public administrator). It concludes with recommendations for selecting and training garrison commanders.
