DOD Compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act : Should NEPA Apply to DoD Major Federal Actions Overseas?

Events over the past decade demonstrate that DoD fully understands and appreciates the synergy between environmental protection and mission success, in other words, that protection of the environment and success of the military mission are not exclusive. Recent regulatory and policy changes emphasize DoD's willingness to protect the environment, balanced against the needs of force protection and military necessity, during operations both within the United States and overseas. Continually building upon this policy since the early 1990's, DoD has committed itself to being a leader in environmental security and has taken affirmative acts to ensure that this commitment is a long-lasting one.Air Force Inst of Tech Wright-Patterson AFB OH is the author of 'DOD Compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act : Should NEPA Apply to DoD Major Federal Actions Overseas?', published 1998 under ISBN 9781423559139 and ISBN 1423559134.
