2020 REPORT ON REPI PROGRAM OUTCOMES AND BENEFITS TO MILITARY MISSION CAPABILITIES

REPORT IN BRIEF

The Department of Defense’s (DoD) Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) program is a key tool for combating encroachment that can limit or restrict military training, testing, and operations. The REPI program facilitates cost-sharing partnerships between the Military Departments, other federal agencies, state and local governments, and private conservation organizations to help relieve or avoid land use conflicts near military installations and address regulatory restrictions that inhibit military activities. These partnerships, authorized by Congress in 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) § 2684a, preserve and enhance military readiness by providing base and range commanders with the flexibility necessary to optimally conduct their critical missions. This report leverages data submitted by the Military Services to demonstrate the REPI program’s outcomes and benefits to military readiness
