Acquisition, Technology and Logistics
The NIC Initiative
• Created by the Installations Capabilities Council in Sep 04
• Tasked with analyzing the AF Natural Infrastructure Management and Encroachment Prevention concept for DoD-wide use
• ICC wanted results within 5 months (~ Feb 05)
• Comprised of mainly Environmental reps from OSD and Components, both Secretariat and HQs
• Meet every Monday – on a fast track!

NIC Assessment
Quantitative and qualitative
metrics to measure
the capacity andcapability of
air, land and water components
to meet operational requirements
• Airspace
• Surface Land Access
• Air Shed Emissions Availability
• Water Supply
• Water Discharge Availability
• Seaspace Access
WHAT’S BEING MEASURED?
Joint Service Environmental Management Conference
WHAT DATA IS NEEDED?
Joint Service Environmental Management Conference
Accident Potential Zones and Noise Contours
Land Use Constraint Areas – Wetlands, CERCLA/RCRA
Sites, ESQD Arcs, etc.

4. Compare resource requirements with resource availability for each resource category:
• Airspace• Airshed Emissions
Availability• Surface Land Access• Water Supply• Surface Water Areas• Water Discharge
Availability• Sea Space Access

Required/Available x 100 = %Or
Allotted/Available x 100 = %
1. Determine Operational Requirements
2. Determine Corresponding Resource Requirements
3. Determine Resource Availability
Resource Capability Ratings:*
RO3 = Major Opportunities
RO2 = Significant Opportunities
RO1 = Some Opportunities
RR = Minor Opportunities or
Deficiencies
RD1 = Some Deficiencies
RD2 = Significant Deficiencies
RD3 = Major Deficiencies
*RO = Resource Opportunity
*RR = Resource Ready
*RD = Resource DeficiencyPermits

Natural Infrastructure Valuation Process
Total Natural Infrastructure Asset ValueTotal Natural Infrastructure Asset Value
Resource Characteristics:Acreage or other amount, location,
condition, other attributes (e.g., airspace, sea space, maneuver area)
Resource Characteristics:Acreage or other amount, location,
condition, other attributes (e.g., airspace, sea space, maneuver area)
Goods: Water, Minerals, Crops, Timber, Fish/Game,
Grazing, Habitat, Training
Goods: Water, Minerals, Crops, Timber, Fish/Game,

Asset Value(military, community/ecological, market)
Asset Value(military, community/ecological, market)
Step1: Inventory and characterize the assets present
Step 2: Determine the goods represented by the assets
Step 3: Gather relevant data on value of goods
Step 4: Appraise value. Enter the value estimates into a framework that allows aggregation of all factors
Facilitate Informed Decision Making

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics
Initial Air Force RCM Applications
• Base Closure Executive Group (BCEG)
– Supported AF beddown scenario development drills
• Barksdale AFB
– Used RCM information to increase base share of oil/gas/timber rights
• Seymour Johnson AFB
– Used RCM to work MTR encroachment
• Cannon AFB
– Used RCM to define aquifer availability
• Beale/Shaw AFBs
– Used RCM to address receiving water body issues

Lessons Learned (so far)• ARMY
• Surface land measures being revised to better capture and portray range and training capabilities and limitations
• NAVY
• Revising surface and sea space measures to account for variety of operational areas/needs at Navy ranges and operational areas
• AIR FORCE
• Revising off-site compatibility measures by attempting to establish degrees of compatibility instead of ‘yes/no’
• ALL
• Updating frequency spectrum measures to better capture the data to assess encroachment issue
14
Acquisition, Technology and Logistics
Next Steps• Pilots
– Finalize AF, Army, and Navy pilots
– Conduct USMC, DLA, Joint-Service, and Overseas Pilots
– Evaluate pilot results
• Develop a consistent NIC framework, including– Common measures, definitions, assumptions
• Develop methodology for aggregating results to support decision making
• Assess financial constructs to support sound investment strategies
• Develop implementation policy and procedures
• Coordinate with DoD Sustainable Ranges IPT, led by ODUSD(R)
