The US Army recognizes its obligation to ensure that Soldiers have the land, water, and air resources needed to train; a healthy environment; adaptable facilities; and the support of local communities, government officials, and the American people. An Integrated Strategic Sustainability Plan (ISSP) was developed to ensure that US Army Garrison Fort Leonard Wood (FLW) can preserve these resources in order to continue meeting mission requirements in the future. This document represents the initial ISSP developed for FLW, a complex installation that fulfills multiple training requirements for the Army and other military commands. Developing a viable long-range ISSP requires significant participation by Garrison and Maneuver Support Center of Excellence personnel. Their contributions were facilitated through collaboration with contractors, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and Installation Management Command. The result was a working plan encompassing six strategic sustainability goals that align with FLW's six core business areas. The plan also includes related factors, such as action plans to guide and indicators to track FLW progress in meeting its goals. This ISSP will evolve as various objectives, action plans, and measures are refined. Team members will utilize online resources to facilitate development of the plan over its expected 25-year life cycle.
