The authors identify the main causes of encroachment; detail the benefits, both to the military and local communities, of buffering areas near installations with REPI projects; and provide recommendations for how to improve REPI's effectiveness.

This report assesses the effect of sharing installations and environment geospatial data assets across the Department of Defense Global Information Grid. The authors found that the assets support a wide range of missions from installation management to warfighting support. The authors also identified barriers to sharing, recommended ways to maximize the sharing benefits, and developed a methodology for assessing the effects of sharing.

This study assesses whether Army policy, doctrine, and guidance adequately address environmental activities in post-conflict phases of contingencies. A review of policy, doctrine, operational experience, and documentation, as well as interviews with Army personnel, indicates that environmental concerns can have significant impacts. Recommendations are made for improving the Army's approach to environmental issues in contingency operations.
