Implementing and Sustaining a Culture of Sustainability

Abstract

The quest for global resources be they natural, economic or political, is likely to produce pressures leading to conflicts that will inevitably impact our national interests. The Army s capability to fulfill its responsibilities in protecting those interests is incumbent upon its ability to optimize current and future resources in the most sustainable manner. Sustainability, the use of current resources so as not to deny them for future generations requires dedication, education, innovation and most of all - leadership. This paper will examine Army sustainability and culture implementation, focusing upon energy strategy, and emerging innovative efforts to instill sustainable practices in daily processes and provide recommendations regarding future efforts.
