Sustainability Strategy and Strategic Plan
In an effort to incorporate sustainability into the
strategic evaluation and planning process, the ARNG
Directorate conducted ‘Sustainability Strategy and
Strategic Plan’ development sessions at AHS in early
2011 with input from a sustainability working group
consisting of representatives from all of its Director-
ates and Divisions. The ARNG Sustainability Strategy
will broadly define how the ARNG will implement
sustainability throughout the ARNG Directorate.
It supports the strategic vision and mission of the
ARNG Directorate and complements all Army, State,
and Federal sustainability policies, laws, and execu-
tive orders. The ARNG Sustainability Strategic Plan
will be incorporated into the overall ARNG Strategic
Planning Guidance and is expected to be used as a
template to focus and develop the strategic direction
for State ARNGs.
Sustainability Performance Standards and
Indicators
The ARNG Directorate is also working with func-
tional leaders to identify the performance standards
and metrics that will appropriately guide the man-
agement of various initiatives, facilitate funding, and
insure performance measurement across the ARNG.
These standards and metrics will provide a founda-
tion for uniform Sustainability reporting within each
State (PKS 2011).
Performance standards and metrics were devel-
oped in the following areas: energy, water, air, fleet
vehicles, procurement of green goods and services,
waste, land usage, facility construction, operations,
