DOD Can Increase Revenues

Through Better Use Of Natural

Resources It Holds In Trust


The Department of Defense manages almost
25 million acres of land throughout the United
States and its possessions. DOD policy requires
all military bases to manage these lands, en-
compassing vast natural resources, under the
multiple-use principle, consistent with the
military mission. Multiple uses include forest-
ry, agricultural leasing, fish and wildlife pro-
grams, and recreation.
This report discusses how DOD can improve
its natural resources program and achieve ad-
ditional revenues of over $3,million annually
through:
    --Greater emphasis on planning for the ef-
    fective use of land and natural resources.
    --innovative planning and administration
    to increase forest productivity.
    --Increased efforts to identify and lease
    land for agriculture.
    --Greater emphasis on providing opportu-
    nities for public outdoor recreation on
    military bases.
    --Assessing more equitable user fees for
    hunting and fishing on military lands to
    finance fish and wildlife programs.
