Summary:
The Department of Defense (DOD) and the three military
departments—the Army, Navy, and Air Force—maintain
distinctive organizational structures, policies, and programs
for managing their installations. Section 2801 of Title 10,
United States Code (U.S.C.) defines a military installation
as “a base, camp, post, station, yard, center, or other activity
under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of a military
department or, in the case of an activity in a foreign
country, under the operational control of the Secretary of a
military department or the Secretary of Defense, without
regard to the duration of operational control.” In general,
this includes all types of real property—such as buildings,
training ranges, and supporting infrastructure—that are
found on a military installation.
Installation management involves overseeing a range of
activities, such as installation master planning; facility
planning and design; military construction (MILCON);
facilities sustainment, restoration, and modernization
(FSRM); military housing; and the reutilization or disposal
of real property. It may also include activities such as
maintaining installation force protection, contracting for
utility services, managing support contractors, performing
condition assessments, or reviewing real estate agreements.
