About This Case Study
Military installation staffs are faced with daily challenges balancing management of encroachment and incompatible land use issues, community partnerships, environmental requirements and meeting training, testing, and operational requirements. The installation commander is the leader and decision maker who has the authority to manage the various programs and drive stakeholder engagement to resolve the tensions arising from these competing interests. By learning from commanders who have perspective dealing with encroachment issues, current and future installation and range commanders and staffs can improve their own efforts.
