The United States Army Installation Management Command supports the United States Army's warfighting mission by handling the day-to-day operations of U.S. Army installations around the globe – We are the Army's Home. Army installations are communities that provide many of the same types of services expected from any small city. Fire, police, housing, and child-care are just some of the things IMCOM does in Army communities every day.〔()〕 IMCOM's vision statement is: Innovative professionals committed to effectively delivering extraordinary services and facilities for our premier Army. IMCOM is headquartered in San Antonio, TX on Fort Sam Houston. IMCOM's headquarters relocated in October, 2010 from Arlington, Virginia as part of the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 2005. == History == The United States Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IMCOM Official Web Site )〕 was activated on 24 Oct. 2006, to reduce bureaucracy, apply a uniform business structure to manage U.S. Army installations, sustain the environment〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=US Army Environmental Command )〕 and enhance the well-being of the military community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation )〕 It consolidated three organizations under a single command as a direct reporting unit:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Installation management command activated , Army Logistician , Find Articles at BNET )〕 #The former Installation Management Agency (IMA)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=US News & World Report Article )〕 #The former Community and Family Support Center,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fact Sheet )〕 now called Family and MWR Programs,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FMWR at )〕 which was formerly a subordinate command of IMCOM. #The former Army Environmental Center,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Borland Case Study )〕 now called the Army Environmental Command (AEC), which is a subordinate command of IMCOM.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Army Environmental Command Organizational Structure )〕 Prior to the Installation Management Command, the Army's 184 installations〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Army Organization )〕 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),〔(Army begins installation transformation )〕 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 1 Oct. 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Transformation of Installation Management )〕 Many of the issues with the 15 major commands (List of Major Commands of the United States Army) holding responsibility for base support was that the structure created many inequities throughout the Army. There were no common standards, consistent services or an acutely managed infrastructure. This created an environment where funding was often diverted from installation support to operations. Additionally, there were too many military personnel conducting garrison support operations rather than mission duties. The creation of IMCOM was a commitment to eliminate these inequities, focus on installation management and enhance the well-being of Soldiers, Families and Civilians. Centralizing installation management was a culture change in the Army; working through the transfers of personnel and funding issues was difficult. In a large organizational change, IMCOM became the Army’s single agency responsible for worldwide installation management, managing 184 Army installations globally with a staff of 120,000 military, civilian and contract members across seven regions on four continents.〔http://www.imcom.army.mil/hq/kd/cache/files/69B948B6-423D-452D-4636808C49A57094.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States Army Installation Management Command」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
