Abstract
Enterprise GIS Implementation for U.S. Army Europe Training Land Management Track: System Implementation for GIS Author(s): Steven Bowley The US Army Europe (USAREUR) Range and Training Land Program (RTLP) and Integrated Training Area Management Program (ITAM) are responsible for modernizing US Army Training Lands in Europe, and sustaining their environment to ensure enduring training and eventual return of land to host nation ownership. This paper discusses the progress that GIS is making towards these goals, by taking an enterprise approach to GIS. A major initiative helping to achieve a USAREUR Enterprise GIS is the Spatial Data Standard for Facilities and Infrastructure Management (SDSFIE), the database standard adopted by both USAREUR RTLP and ITAM. This paper discusses the implementation of the SDSFIE database and GIS practices within USAREUR RTLP and ITAM. Cooperative strategies such as these enable greater return on Army GIS investment by reducing data redundancy, enabling wider data distribution, and allowing land managers to make more informed decisions about the future of US Military Installations in Europe.
