The combination of increased training tempo due to military base closures and the
reduction in military budgets have placed a severe burden on the infrastructure at many
military installations and emphasized the need for an integrated facility management
support system. This research involved linking existing facility, environmental, and
operational data within an off the shelf portable geographic information system (GIS) to
produce an integrated facility management support system. Presently, no known military
installations have an integrated facility management support system linking these systems
together within a GIS. An unconstrained theoretical model was first developed using a
flowchart logic network to design the system. A detailed application model was then
developed using Field Notes as an application model portable GIS package, and Camp
Rilea, Oregon, as the application model military installation. The application model was
then tested on the military installation at Camp Rilea, to validate the theoretical concept
behind the system. The testing conducted on the integrated facility management support
system demonstrated the potential for improving the efficiency of facility management
operations, and assisting in the prevention of carrying capacity threshold violations on
military installations. The results of this research allow for possible implementation of
an integrated facility management support system at Camp Rilea and other military
installations in the State of Oregon, and the U.S. Army at large. / Graduation date: 1998
