DoD Explosives Safety Board Strategic Plan 2007-2012
Abstract
Military munitions provide one of the most critical warfighting capabilities of the U. S. Department of Defense (DoD). Without safe storage, transport, and employment, military munitions can instantly revert from an asset to a DoD liability. Sound explosives safety management protects people, facilities, equipment, and the environment from potential adverse effects. The DDESB (DoD Explosives Safety Board) enables the DoD to fully execute the National Military Strategy in support of the President's National Security Strategy. The DoD Explosives Safety Management Program (ESMP) includes five elements -- policies, procedures, standards, engineering, and resources. The ESMP's purpose is to reduce the probability and consequences of mishaps involving DoD military munitions; to protect people, property, and the environment, while sustaining operational capabilities and readiness. The strategic plan guides our efforts for organizational transformation through 2012. This plan also describes our evolving role for the future, including how ESMP may preserve assets and strategically enhance force protection. Specific priorities will be executed to realize a compliant and effective explosives safety culture. And a framework for stakeholder input and collaborative partnering will be put into place as well to maximize efforts.
