Abstract

In order to properly execute a master plan on a military installation, the projects must go through a long and sometimes misunderstood validation process. This process is governed by laws and regulations, making the process confusing and sometimes seem contradictory. Every year Congress allocates billions of dollars to the sustainment, operations and maintenance, and new construction for military bases around the world. This process is exercised through the annual National Defense Authorization Act and allows for the Secretaries of the Armed Services to plan and program everything from roads and schools to runways and munitions depots. This is part two of this program on successful execution of the master plans on military installations. This session is intended to help both government and industry planners and programmers with their programming skills, ensuring that the military services achieve higher quality and less drama during the review and ultimately appropriation process. We will dig into the details of how to assemble a DD 1391.

Learning Objectives
An understanding of the major rules and laws that govern the authorization and appropriation of Military Construction (MILCON) projects.
The importance of defining the requirements in a master plan and how that allows or prohibits a plan from being executable over the life cycle of the plan.
A look at the major elements of the DD Form 1391 and how to prepare the document to ensure the maximum potential for success through the approval and execution of the project. We will review the process for gaining approval of a DD Form 1391 from the development of the documentation to the Nation Defense Authorization Act.
