Background and implementing sustainability at fort carson

Fort Carson has long been an Army model of environmental stewardship and has an established history of community involvement.  A sustainability approach was a logical next step at Fort Carson.

It is our obligation to ensure that Fort Carson Soldiers today - and the Fort Carson Soldiers of the future - have the land, water and air resources they need to train; a healthy environment in which to live; and the support of local communities and the American people.  For those reasons, Fort Carson embraces sustainability as a partnership between our present and our future.

Community Involvement

Fort Carson is working with various community leaders, organizations and resource users in El Paso, Pueblo and Fremont counties to develop a comprehensive sustainability program for the entire region.  The SEMS (Sustainability and Environmental Management System) is not just an environmental program, and its impact will go beyond the fence line of Fort Carson.  It is a system that will drive sustainability performance by making sustainable actions and thinking a part of everyone's daily job responsibilities.
