The Department of Defense and 17 other federal agencies have adopted ecosystem management as a guiding philosophy for natural resource management. Ecosystem management is a goal-driven approach for sustaining natural systems and their functions and values. It is based on a collaboratively developed vision of desired future conditions that integrates ecological, economic, and social factors, and is applied within a geographic framework defined primarily by ecological boundaries. A perception among Department of Defense resource managers is that in spite of official guidance, policies, and programs regarding the subject, military installations are not truly practicing ecosystem management. I conducted a survey of natural resource managers at 74 installations nation-wide to determine the extent to which they are practicing ecosystem management, focusing on two key elements: partnering and adaptive management. The survey showed that most installations are performing partnering, however most are not performing adaptive management. Overall, ecosystem management initiatives are neither comprehensive nor well integrated within the installation natural resource programs. Based upon these findings and my experience as an environmental manager and military officer for 20 years at eight installations, I've developed an operational framework for how ecosystem management can be performed at military installations.
