REPI Challenge

From its FY 2012 pilot project, the REPI Program designed the REPI Challenge for partners and installations to develop and execute projects that protect critical testing and training capabilities. The REPI Challenge is a competition with dedicated funding for partners to advance project outcomes outside installations and ranges through large-scale innovation and military installation resilience actions. From 2012 through 2025, the REPI Program has distributed over $193 million to REPI Challenge projects in 69 locations across the country.  REPI Challenge projects have leveraged more than $512 million in partner contributions that promote compatible land use, enhance military installation resilience, and relieve current or anticipated environmental restrictions on military testing, training, or operations in areas of strategic importance.
