Installation Transformation: A Perspective from a U.S. Army Support Group in Korea
Abstract
The transformation of today's Army is the responsibility of the entire force, regardless of which level is supporting the process. The Installation Management Agency (IMA) has been assigned to assume daily control of Army installations. The Department of the Army's intent in reassigning this control was to relieve senior mission commanders of daily management responsibilities, which will be assumed by trained garrison commanders supported by a standard garrison staff. This transfer of responsibilities sought to assure that standard levels of services were provided to soldiers, civilians, and family members, regardless of geographic location. To ensure this installation transformation was fully implemented, the internal culture of spending, base operations management, and command and control of installations would be significantly changed. Successful installation management transformation would require additional training, new funding strategies, and standardized installation quality controls. This Strategy Research Project offers the perspective of a U.S. Army Support Group stationed in Korea on the status of installation transformation.
