1.2 Background: The Army is a leader in sustainability within the Federal Government and its journey started in 2004 when senior leaders voiced concerns over factors that were increasingly impacting their ability to train units. Today’s Integrated Strategic Sustainability Planning (ISSP) support is in concurrence with Fort Benning’s Senior Commands, specifically Installation Management Command’s performance directive of Garrison functions in support of mission, sustainable energy and environmental investment strategy for the long-term. The ISSP support will accomplish several important functions. First, assist in the development of long range goals, objectives, and actions that support sustainable installation development and operations. Second, by engaging a broad group of stakeholders, it fosters installation-wide ownership of the strategic plan’s goals, objectives, and actions. Finally, engaging local community stakeholders to better understand mutual needs; strengthen existing relationships; and encourage support from community partners. The ISSP support will build a roadmap for long-term change that enables and enhances installation readiness. It promotes development of a sustainable community, both inside and outside the fence line, and protects resources to ensure their availability for current and future missions. Fort Benning continues to transform to meet the Army's changing needs and reduced resources. As such, the resources to sustain the mission and the environment must be managed using sustainability planning procedures and integration with local and regional planning. The installation has conducted goal setting workshops and planning sessions to help move toward an even more sustainable and vibrant installation. To help meet the installation’s sustainability goals, Net Zero Objectives, Public-Public Policies (Installation-Support Services: Intergovernmental Services Agreement), energy goal requirements and environmental compliance requirements, Fort Benning has identified the need for strategic sustainability and energy conservation support.
