Strategic Plan and Focus Areas

SERRPAS is guided by a Strategic Plan that describes a set of objectives that will help the partnership advance its mission across the region in the next three to five years. The plan serves as a framework for identifying and implementing collaborative and cooperative solutions to various challenges affecting national defense that minimize encroachment on military installations and benefit natural resources, working lands, defense community resilience, and the quality of life in the Southeast region. It is organized by focus areas that have established work groups collaborating on priority actions to accomplish the objectives.
