Army Emergency Management Program - Federation of American ...

The garrison commander commands the garrison and is the senior commander’s senior lead agent for installation
activities. The garrison commander is responsible for day-to-day operation and management of installations and base
support services. The garrison commander ensures that installation services and capabilities are provided in accordance
with HQDA directed programs, senior commander guidance, and IMCOM guidance. As such, the EM program is an
installation function performed by the garrison staff on behalf of the senior commander. The garrison commander
provides additional service support as directed and provides reimbursable services under support agreements. The
garrison commander also coordinates and integrates the delivery of support from external service providers.
(1) Delegation. Unless prohibited by law or regulation, the senior commander may delegate, as necessary, assigned
duties and responsibilities of the installation commander to the garrison commander. Such delegation shall be made in
writing and specifically state the duties and responsibilities so delegated and the termination date of the delegation.
(2) Garrison manager. In some cases, the senior official on an installation may be the garrison manager. A garrison
manager (the civilian equivalent of a garrison commander) has the same responsibility and authority as the military
counterpart with the exception of UCMJ and command authority.
3–3. Installation management
a. U.S. Army Installation Management Command relationship. The senior commander is responsible for synchronizing
and integrating Army priorities and initiatives at the Army installation. On IMCOM-managed installations,
IMCOM commands the garrisons assigned to it. IMCOM and its subordinate organizations are supporting commands
to the senior commander on IMCOM installations.
b. U.S. Army Installation Management Command regional director. Regional commands enables collaboration and
sharing of resources across multiple installations in similar geopolitical conditions and within the same geographic
combatant command (GCC) area of responsibility (AOR). IMCOM regions are led by a regional director and/or
commander who builds a strong collaborative relationship with the supported senior commanders in the assigned
region. The senior commander commands the Army installation with the majority of funding and resources for almost
all installation activities flowing through the supporting regional command, so there is the need for a strong collaborative
relationship between the senior commander and the IMCOM regional director.
c. Non-U.S. Army Installation Management Command installations. Installations not managed by IMCOM are
managed according to the following policies. The roles and responsibilities of the senior commander remain the same
for all Army installations.
(1) Army National Guard. ARNG Installations consist of the two types shown below. Both types of installations are
managed in compliance with National Guard Bureau requirements by the individual State’s adjutant general.
Army National Guard training sites. These installations are managed by the applicable garrison commander under the
auspice of the senior commander.
State “virtual” installations. These installations are managed by the State’s Army Staff under the auspice of the
adjutant general as the senior commander. These “virtual” installations include the all armories, readiness centers,
maintenance facilities, and Army airfield support facilities not associated with a National Guard Training Site.
(2) U.S. Army Materiel Command. These installations are managed according to AR 700–90 and other appropriate
industrial base authorities.
Note. These facilities perform terminal management services as a subordinate of AMC in support of U.S. Transportation Command
(USTRANSCOM) per DODD 5158.04 and other appropriate authorities.
(3) U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Strategic Command. These installations and facilities are
managed according to AR 700–90 and other appropriate industrial base documents.
(4) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These installations and facilities are managed according to AR 420–1 and other
appropriate USACE regulations.
(5) Army Accessions Command Reserve Officer’s Training Command detachments and recruiting sites. These
facilities do not provide garrison support functions and do not have garrison activities.
