Policy and Implementation Strategies for Army Land Asset Conversion and Land Exchange
Abstract
Federal land management agencies have authority to initiate or cooperate in exchanges of land and interests, lease lands, enter into agreements regarding the use of land, and allow use by permit. In an era of reduced spending, the Army and DoD may benefit from exploring policy options such as these for acquiring lands through means other than the traditional fee-simple purchase. This paper explores a number of land acquisition alternatives and concludes that a "window of opportunity'' exists for the Army and DoD to work cooperatively with other land management agencies to improve military training and resource conservation opportunities, while minimizing cost.
