Content:
Over the past few decades, military installations have experienced diminishing open space near their borders from suburban sprawl and other developments. Such encroachment pressures limit the ability to conduct mission-essential testing and training. Such development can also destroy or displace native plant and animal species, the result being that military installations become islands of refuge for threatened and endangered species, which can also restrict an installation's operations. In 2003, DoD created the Readiness and Environmental Protection Initiative (REPI) to help address such encroachment pressures. The REPI program helps installations implement compatible land use partnering projects with state and local governments and non-governmental organizations to protect non-military land, which helps relieve installation encroachment pressures. In this monograph, RAND researchers assessed the effectiveness of the REPI projects. The authors also identify the main causes of encroachment; detail the benefits, both to the military and local communities, of buffering areas near installations with REPI projects; and provide recommendations for how to improve REPI's effectiveness
