Air Force Instruction 90-2001 Encroachment Management Air Force Instruction 90‐2001 was published in September 2014 to implement the Encroachment Management Program . The Instruction applies to all Air Force installations to address encroachment issues and prevent or reduce the impacts of encroachment . The Instruction includes the Encroachment Management Framework , which has four elements : Organize , Assess , Act , and Monitor . Organization encompasses leadership involvement , a cross‐functional management structure , an issue evaluation structure , a designated Executive Director at the installation level , and a geographic scope . Assessment includes studying internal and external relationships and developing encroachment studies , such as an Installation Complex Encroachment Management Action Plan ( ICEMAP ). Acting involves implementation of programs . Lastly , monitoring involves maintaining awareness of mission needs and encroachment issues .
Bird / Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard Program ( BASH ) The Bird / Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard ( BASH ) program is a Department of Defense ( DoD ) Partners in Flight program created to help implement and improve aviation safety programs . The BASH program is consistent with the Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) Wildlife Hazard Mitigation Program requirements to assess and mitigate threats to wildlife from aircraft . Thus , the BASH program is designed to minimize wildlife and bird strike damage to military aircraft by controlling bird habitat near airports , alerting aircrew and operations personnel of hazards , and providing increased levels of flight safety , especially during the critical phases of flight , such as take‐off and landing operations . Keesler AFB maintains a BASH Plan to minimize the threat of bird strikes to aircraft and protect local wildlife .
Environmental Protection Agency Climate Change Adaptation Plan The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) Climate Change Adaptation Plan uses expert judgment , combined with information from peer reviewed scientific literature on the impacts of climate change , to identify potential environmental vulnerabilities . It presents priority actions that the Agency will take to begin integrating climate adaptation planning into its activities .
Federal Aviation Act The Federal Aviation Act was enacted in 1958 to overseeing and regulating civilian and military us The Act requires the Secretary of Transportation that formulate policy for the orderly developme airspace .
