Genesis/History

• Installations were not receiving uniform
  infrastructure and services funding, leading to
  haves and have-nots
• Installations were therefore not providing
  similar benefits to soldiers in quality of life
  and essential support
• Requests to level the support were difficult to
  justify, as hard to know where the were going
  with no standardized measures across
  installations
• No ability for Congress/ DoD/ DA to capture and
  measure funding requirements

4
Genesis/History

• Army was transforming to standardized modular
  combat elements
• Concept of standardization and predictability
  extended to installations
• Decision made to consolidate and standardize
  USAGs as base operators under separate agency
  (later a command)
• Added benefit of releasing the ICs from the
  infrastructure responsibilities to concentrate on
  real world mission

5
Funding Justification

• ACOMs/ASCCs/DRUs can justify resource levels
• IMA/IMCOM created initial set of metrics to
  qualify budget request (early CLS stages) to get
  on level playing field

6
CLS Concept

• All Garrisons will deliver a common core of
  standard services
• Importance/Priority of each service to the
  Soldiers/Commanders determined by the Senior
  Executive Leadership in Spring for the next FY
• The funding process distributes so all
  installations deliver each service at the same
  level of quality during the same FY
• Garrison staffs will plan and measure to ensure
  they can deliver to standard with the funding
  allocated for each specific service.

7
CLS Categories

• CLS categories created to capture traditional
  garrison-level functions
• CLS is a method of ensuring the delivery of high
  quality Base Operations Services within the funds
  available to the Army.  CLS helps focus resources
  that drive the quality, consistency and
  predictability of programs and services offered
  on all U.S. Army Installations
• PMR vs. funding levels

8
Funding/Performance Levels

• CLS performance levels may or may not coincide
  with funding levels
• Garrison is only able to provide CLS to the
  tenants at our funded level for each service
  (Green, Amber, Red)
• Web site for CLS
• https//www.us.army.mil/suite/130314
• Currently developing a CLS Catalog locally

9
Support required above CLS (ISSAs)

• Support requested above funded CLS for Army
  customers requires an Interservice Support
  Agreement (ISSA) to identify reimbursable costs
• All non-Army customers have a fully burden cost
  (utilities, labor, etc.)
• ISSAs required to be updated/maintained per DoDI

10
DP 91 Issue/Status

• DP 91 was established to resolve resonate issues
  associated with IMA/Mission split (RM, Safety,
  Security, Legal, etc.)
• Several of the issues are currently in Council
  of Colonels or GOSC for resolution/decision to
  present to VCSA
• Final VCSA decision will determine level of
  support provided under CLS
