Sustainability Vision: Implementing actions to ensure Fort Riley's ability to train and care for Soldiers and Family Members is essential to meet future mission requirements. We must plan and execute actions which enable us to provide necessary forces to the Combatant Commanders while operating in an environment of reduced or limited fiscal and natural resources. Just as we fight as we train, we must train and operate as we fight to become more self-sufficient, and efficient with the resources we have.
