REPI Reports to Congress

The REPI Reports to Congress provide information on REPI Program and other DOD efforts to conserve land and address threats to military readiness from incompatible development and environmental constraints.

REPI Resilience Project Funding Guide

The 2023 REPI Resilience Project Funding Guide is now available. This guide serves as a one-stop shop for installations and partners to learn about more than 25 federal and non-federal resilience and conservation programs that can support existing or new REPI installation resilience projects. 

The guide provides a program calendar featuring key application opening dates and deadlines across all programs. Every program has a summary of funding opportunities, eligibility requirements, and application information. Six of the programs include detailed instructions for steps applicants need to take before applying, such as determining if the local community has an updated Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Installations and partners can leverage the guide to review funding opportunities for developing nature-based solutions near installations and ranges that preserve military missions, enhance habitats, increase climate resilience, and ensure military readiness. The guide also allows readers to quickly sort through programs based on multiple climate change threats, including Wildfire, Drought, Coastal Hazard, Riverine Flooding, and Land Degradation.

REPI Metrics Report

The 2021 Report on REPI Program Outcomes and Benefits to Military Mission Capabilities is now available. This report summarizes over 16 years of planning and execution data submitted by the Military Services to quantify the extent of known or potential land use conflicts, solutions to address these conflicts, and overall investments in and benefits to military capabilities.

Our analysis demonstrates that lands near installations and training areas, including installations in the Pacific region, are increasingly at risk to development incompatible with military activities.  As the report shows, protecting such lands through the REPI program is more cost-effective than settling for test and training workarounds, replacing compromised assets, or relocating missions.

While traditional efforts focused on incompatible development and natural resource management have long been the focus of the program, REPI partnerships now have the opportunity to utilize funds to improve installation resilience that address potential threats from climate change and extreme weather events.  This report places a strong focus on existing resilience efforts within the program and the benefits that REPI installations are already experiencing from these projects.

2023 REPI Challenge Fact Sheet

The focus for the 2023 REPI Challenge was on projects that limit development pressures, enhance military installation resilience, and relieve current or anticipated environmental restrictions on military testing, training, or operations in areas of strategic importance for DOD. The REPI Program was pleased to commit $24 million in funds, coupled with $50 million in partner contributions to thirteen projects benefiting 26 installations and their surrounding communities. More information on the REPI Challenge and the 2023 funded projects is available in the 2023 REPI Challenge fact sheet. To learn more about the thirteen REPI Challenge projects, read the full 2023 REPI Challenge package. 

 

REPI Program Fact Sheets

REPI partnerships with state or local governments or private conservation organizations are important in helping to protect military testing and training capabilities and sustaining the environment. The partnerships purchase easements from willing landowners to protect open space, working lands and valuable habitat. Preserving compatible land uses helps to avoid or mitigate restrictions on the military mission at Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force installations and range, while preserving ecological integrity on private land.
