Figure 1-1 illustrates the Army's environmental strategy. This strategy is founded on the bedrock
of shared national values that fortify the Army and the nation. The key building blocks--people,
resources, communication, management, and organization--provide the foundation for all Army
activities, including environmental stewardship. These building blocks support the Army's
tradition of leadership. Strong commitment to each part of the foundation is critical to ensure a
solid base for environmental initiatives and long-term success. Army leadership, coupled with
the building blocks, provides a sound footing for the four pillars of compliance, restoration,
prevention, and conservation. These pillars represent the Army's environmental program.
