History of the Installation Management Command
The United States Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM)[1], a single organization with six regional offices worldwide[2], was activated on Oct. 24, 2006[3], to reduce bureaucracy, apply a uniform business structure to manage U.S. Army installations, sustain the environment[4] and enhance the well-being of the military community[5]. It consolidated three organizations under a single command as a direct reporting unit[6]:
1) The former Installation Management Agency (IMA)[7]
2) The former Community and Family Support Center[8], now called Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command (FMWRC)[9], which is a subordinate command of IMCOM.
3) The former Army Environmental Center[10], now called the Army Environmental Command (AEC), which is a subordinate command of IMCOM[11].
Before IMCOM, the Army's 184 installations[12] were managed by one of 15 Major Commands. Support services varied — some provided better services, some provided worse. In September 2001, Army Secretary Thomas E. White introduced the Transformation of Installation Management (TIM)[13], formerly known as Centralized Installation Management (CIM), pledging the Army would implement better business practices and realign installation management to create a more efficient and effective corporate management structure for Army installations worldwide. On Oct. 1, 2002, the Army formed IMA as a field operating agency of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (ACSIM) as part of an ongoing effort to realign installations[14].
IMCOM, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia[15]., oversees all facets of installation management such as construction; barracks and family housing; family care; food management; environmental programs; well-being; Soldier and Family morale, welfare and recreation programs; logistics; public works and installation funding.
