Benefits of Joint Basing
• Forged a single Installation Support organization without negatively impacting the operational force supporting the war effort
• Provides a single, unified source of Installation Support for the Warfighter• Allows the US Military in South Puget Sound to communicate as a single
voice with local communities • Sets conditions for long-term efficiencies and enduring savings. Examples:
– Improved Fire & Emergency Services response times– Accelerated development of a JBLM Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan– Low-cost implementation of a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) to
connect Army, Air Force Installation Support staff; actual cost of $300K versus an estimated $6M
Big Issues
5
• Conflicting Service policies hamper JB programs (i.e., FAP, MEO, etc.) • Services and OSD need to establish (and resource) a Joint Family Covenant
• Traffic Congestion along the I-5 Corridor
• Traffic Congestion On-Base
• Delays in CIVPERS resourcing and hiring processes

RESOURCING: Confirm and refine costing and resourcing model Resolve Pre-existing Installation Support Shortfalls
Adjust Army resourcing systems for JB construct (e.g. BRM manual adjustments, COLS manning, and
resourcing)
Ensure transparency of USAF Total Obligation Authority (TOA) and non-IMCOM funding
Publish funding guidance to build an execution strategy for COLS resourcing
POLICY: Promote “Best Practice” approach to Installation Management Leverage JBLM solutions to facilitate Service-wide efficiencies
Accommodate Service-unique programs, but advocate for DoD-common solutions where appropriate
Refine JBLM organization (manpower analysis, objective structure)
Refine JBLM Command and Control approach
Way Ahead, post-FOC

Identify efficiencies as we learn, but sustain effective support to our Joint Operational Force
