Implementation Resources

A Compatible Use Study and Military Installation Resilience Review includes recommended strategies for addressing compatibility and/or resiliency issues uncovered during the analysis phase. Strategy categories typically include communication and coordination, policy, studies, programs, or processes that can support compatible use and increase resilience. Recommendations may also include discrete activities such as infrastructure improvements, land conservation and protection, construction of new facilities, and restoration/expansion of natural features (e.g., wetlands) to mitigate use vulnerabilities or conflicts. OLDCC also has programs that provide guidance, examples, templates, and even implementation funding. Funding program examples include Construction, Defense Community Infrastructure Pilots, Defense Manufacturing Community Support, Intergovernmental Affairs, and others as found on the OLDCC website.

Plans should be reviewed, and if necessary, updated on a regular basis - every five years is a good rule of thumb, according to OLDCC. However, if there are major mission changes and/or new development proposals, studies should be re-visited as soon as the changes are known. Study amendments should respond early to avoid later problems.

Planning Process

In order to be eligible to receive OLDCC funding, a Compatible Use Study or Military Installation Resilience Review is initiated by the neighboring jurisdiction(s) or the installation commander(s) and all parties must support the effort. Extensive communication, coordination, and collaboration between a jurisdiction, installation, and community stakeholders is necessary throughout the entire effort.
