About the Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) Program

Established in 2002 as part of the Fiscal Year 2003 National Defense Authorization Act, the Department of War (DOW) Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) Program preserves military missions by supporting cost-sharing agreements between the Military Services, other Federal agencies, state and local governments, and private organizations to avoid land use conflicts near military installations, address environmental restrictions that limit military activities, and increase military installation resilience.  

The REPI Program is administered by the Office of the Secretary of War under the Assistant Secretary of War for Energy, Installations, and Environment. 

What's New With the REPI Program?

The REPI Program has released the 2027 REPI Challenge RFP, providing up to $20 million for projects that protect critical missions by preventing land‑use conflicts and strengthening installation resilience.
Since FY 2003, the Department has leveraged $1.7 billion with an additional $1.5 billion from partner contributions to protect over 1.4 million acres at 141 project locations across 41 states and territories.
For the 2026 REPI Challenge, the REPI Program will provide more than $20 million in funding, complemented by over $43 million in partner contributions, to advance innovative projects that sustain mission capabilities and strengthen installation resilience.
The REPI Program offers the Military Services tools for protecting irreplaceable training and testing ranges, operating areas, and other mission readiness assets.
