cycle process and Army Enterprise Board (AEB). We are in support of Senior Commanders so they can focus on their training and warfighting missions and leading Soldiers.

The Reserve Component of our Army – the Army Reserve and National Guard – are key components of the Army family and Installation Management community. In the past the Reserve component served as a strategic reserve – that paradigm has changed. The Reserve components are evolving into operational forces with missions embedded in combat, stability, and Homeland defense requirements. Reserve Component units increasingly are integrated into Active Component force structures.

The result is an increasing and predictable utilization of Reserve Component Soldiers, units, and facilities, a trend which will continue. The majority of Reserve Component Soldiers, Families and Civilians are located in stand-alone facilities, such as Armories and Reserve Centers, in locations dispersed across the country. Our challenge is to provide the right level of services and support to sustain these Soldiers, Families and Civilians as part of the Total Army.

Our strategic imperatives, nested in the IMCP, include: (1) Continue evolving into a customer-focused, cost conscious community; (2) Embrace a performance-based management culture; (3) Equip employees with the competencies, skills and enabling capabilities needed to provide extraordinary support to our customers; (4) Ensure fiscal responsibility; and (5) Focus our thinking to address present and future needs. Each imperative is derived from and driven by a fundamental alignment with other Strategic Guidance starting with the President's Management Agenda (PMA), Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), The Army Plan (TAP), the Army Campaign Plan (ACP) and the Installations and Environment Strategic Plan.

This IMCP represents a customer-focused approach at all levels within the Installation Management Community. A key function of the enterprise process is the continued use of input and feedback from the Army Family (Installation Senior Commanders, their Soldiers, Families and Civilians). We encourage each Soldier and Civilian employee to read, understand and participate in the IMCP which supports our customers, the war fighter, and the Department of the Army.

There is no document that will guide us in every situation. As unforeseen challenges arise, we must ask ourselves three fundamental questions: Are we doing the right things?

This first fundamental question has everything to do with being a leader of strong character. When you ask this question, be sure to refer to the IMCOM Commander’s Intent. If your actions fit within this framework, then you will likely answer yes. We must be very focused on requirements. Are we indeed focused on the right things, and are we getting appropriate value out of our activities? Over the past several years we have doubled the amount of money we are investing in Family programs, and significantly increased the money we have for running our installations, but we still routinely require ii
