Challenges to Compliance
General Approach:
• Balance: Defense of nations must not be jeopardized
through overzealous protection of environment
• Consistent Application of Requirements: To the best
of its ability, consistent with its mission, the military
sector should adhere to the same rules as the civilian
sector
• Working with Local Authorities:
– Seek coordinated solutions to problems in common
– Establish mutual support agreements to respond to
environmental/other emergencies
