Fort Hood's EMS
Fort Hood maintains an Environmental Management System (EMS) to
help us proactively deal with environmental laws, regulations
and issues while enhancing the ability to accomplish our
mission.
The EMS begins with our environmental policy and our commitment
to prevent pollution. Fort Hood has designated a Management
Representative and an EMS Coordinator to oversee and facilitate
the EMS. The program follows the ISO 14001 standard, which
includes among other elements, training and awareness,
evaluation of compliance, and management review. The
Environmental Quality Control Committee meets quarterly to
ensure the continuing suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness
of our EMS. The EQCC is co-chaired by the III Corps Chief of
Staff and Garrison Commander and its members are comprised of
directorates and organizations from across the installation.
Currently, we are in the process of re-evaluating our
environmental aspects and their potential impacts on the
environment. Once this is complete, we will create a Cross
Functional Team to set objectives and targets to make progress
on our environmental aspects and priorities.
To focus our efforts we have developed the following Mission and
Vision statements for our EMS. |

“Preserving natural resources increases our ability to train Soldiers,
therefore environmental management and sustainability are part of Fort
Hood’s mission.”
James E. Simmons
Major General, USA |

Fort Hood’s EMS policy has been signed by Major General
William F. Grimsley, the Fort Hood Commanding General.
From this policy we have created an acronym and logo
that communicates our policy to all individuals on the
installation and makes the policy easy to remember. Our
Environmental Management System will help us make this
goal a reality.
