Book Description
Recent experiences in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Balkans have highlighted the importance of environmental considerations. These range from protecting soldier health and disposing of hazardous waste to building water supply systems and other activities that help achieve national goals in the post-conflict phase of contingency operations. The Army has become increasingly involved with environmental issues in every contingency operation and must be better prepared to deal with them. This study assesses whether existing policy, doctrine, and guidance adequately address environmental activities in post-conflict military operations and reconstruction. Findings are based on reviews of top-level policy and doctrine, analysis of operational experience, extensive interviews with diverse Army personnel, and a review of operational documentation and literature. From these sources, a database of 111 case studies was created. The research showed that environmental concerns can have far-reaching and significant impacts on the Army, both direct and indirect, especially in terms of cost, current operations, soldier health, diplomatic relations, reconstruction activities, and the ultimate success of the operation or the broader mission. Some evidence suggests that environmental problems may have even contributed to insurgency in Iraq. Recommendations include updating current policy and doctrine to fully address environmental considerations in contingency operations; ensuring that contractors are carefully selected and managed; and transmitting proactive field environmental practices and lessons throughout the Army.

Book Description
Environmental Transitions is a detailed and comprehensive account of the environmental changes in Central and Eastern Europe, both under state socialism and during the period of transition to capitalism. The change in politics in the late 1980s and early 1990s allowed an opportunity for a rapid environmental clean up, in an area once considered one of the most environmentally devastated regions on earth. The book illustrates how transformations after 1989 have brought major environmental improvements, as well as new environmental problems. It shows how environmental policy, economic change and popular support for environmental movements, have specific and changing geographies associated with them. Environmental Transitions addresses a large number of topics, including the historical geographical analysis of the environmental change, health impacts of environmental degradation, the role of environmental issues during the anti-communist revolutions, legislative reform and the effects of transition on environmental quality after 1989. Environmental Transitions contains detailed case studies from the region, which illustrate the complexity of environmental issues and their intimate relationship with political and economic realities. It gives theoretically informed ideas for understanding environmental change in the context of the political economy of state socialism and post-communist transformations, drawing on a wide body of literature from West, Central and Eastern Europe.

Book Description
The purpose of this paper is to take a comprehensive look at the environmental restoration issues surrounding the implementation of the Department of Defense's Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Program. Environmental problems at DoD sites present some unique challenges because environmental priorities must be integrated with the national security missions of each DoD Service. Still environmental hazards must be dealt with before the military bases can be transferred of sold back to the local communities. It is also important for the Federal Government to present a unified picture to the public of a government committed to environmental protection and restoration at it's own facilities at least to the same extent that it is committed to environmental protection at private sites. This paper will examine the statutes and regulations surrounding the environmental cleanups. It will also research the mechanism by which the DoD can best achieve this end and the resources at its disposal for restorations of hazardous/toxic wastes sites at its facilities in the continental U.S. and overseas.

Book Description
The U.S. Army War College Center for Strategic Leadership conducted a gaming exercise on Environmental Security and Preventive Defense on May 21, 1997, at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. The game was scheduled to coincide with a meeting of the NATO Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society Pilot Study on "Environment and Security in an International Context." This facilitated the participation of a broad spectrum of environmental and policy experts from throughout Europe to join with similar experts from Canada and the United States to develop and analyze policy options for addressing a hypothetical environmental problem set in Eastern Europe. See Appendix A for a list of participants. The Game thus brought together an international group of experts on environmental issues and policy makers representing Academia, the private sector, the military, civilian government, and members of the Washington Interagency Community to meet in a "non-attribution" environment to craft multi-lateral, multi-disciplinary, interagency and interdepartmental approaches to the security challenges posed by environmental issues. The Collins Hall venue provided a sophisticated suite of computer programs to enhance the participants' analysis of and dialogue on a broad range of environmental problems and their policy implications. The U.S. Army War College's policy of non-attribution promoted a full and frank discussion of the issues and helped add to the depth of analysis and understanding for the group.

Book Description
The success of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) at military facilities requires support and leadership from the highest levels of management, adequate resources for development and implementation, and an acknowledgement by the military commanders that EMS is an integral part of facilities and operations management. The theme of this book is the effective communication of environmental concerns in a changing military environment.
