Course Description

This course offers in-depth discussions and practical exercises focusing on the following crucial planning activities:

• Real Property Development Plans (RPDP): Learners will gain an understanding of the consideration and application of risk-informed planning that contributes to the resilience, adaptability, and operational continuity of military installations by providing scalable, mission-ready capabilities that support secure and informed development decisions.
• Resilience Guidance: Learners will be introduced to the comprehensive legal, regulatory, and policy framework that governs Resilience Planning within the Department of Defense (DoD). This includes an exploration of the key statutory mandates, DoD Instructions (DoDIs), and planning standards that drive the integration of resilience into military infrastructure, operations, and installation master planning.
• Military Installation Resilience Plan (MIRP): MIRP is a strategic planning framework designed to enhance the resilience of military installations against a broad spectrum of threats, disruptions, and vulnerabilities that could compromise mission assurance and operational continuity.
• Installation Energy and Water Plans (IEWP):  IEWP are strategic documents outlining specific goals, targets, and actions related to energy and water management within military installations. Learners will explore how to enhance efficiency, reduce consumption, and ensure resilience in the face of potential disruptions. 
• Mission Criticality: Learners will be provided an introduction to the process of determining the criticality of missions, and the role the installation facilities and operation impact that mission.
