c. Implementation. The Area Development Plan process relies on a variety of

mechanisms for implementation. The plan is directly linked to AR 415-15 which identifies

project development procedures to prioritize projects for funding and execution.

(1) Prepare a Schedule and Phasing Plan. The most expedient approach to

developing a schedule for implementation actions is to list each project, beginning with the

first, and all the actions required for successful completion. The construction of a new military

facility requires that an existing building be demolished before construction can begin. The

occupants of the existing building would require relocation either temporarily or permanently,

making their move the first necessary action associated with the project. The action list for this

set of circumstances might read as follows:

(a) Move Organization A out of Building X into new or interim headquarters.

(b) Demolish Building.

(c) Construct Building Y on former site of Building X.

(d) Move Organization B from Building Z to Building Y.

(e) Demolish Building Z (or move Organization C into Building Z). The

demolition of Building C or the movement of Organization C may then be the beginning of

another project cycle.

(2) Determine Funding Priority. All proposed projects, including facilities, parking,

circulation and landscape design should be classified by priority and funding according to the

three classifications listed below. Projects in the intermediate and independent categories can

proceed at the discretion of the Installation Commander and the availability of funds.

Interdependent projects must be accomplished in the proper sequence.

(a) Immediate. Projects that are funded and proceeding.

(b) Independent. Projects that may be completed in any order because they are

not dependent upon completion of another project to proceed.

(c) Interdependent. Projects that are dependent upon the completion of another

project before they can be implemented.

(3) Scheduling. Once all the necessary actions have been identified, dates can be

assigned to each action or group of actions. This then becomes the schedule that the

installation uses to track the progress of the plan and insure its orderly implementation. Figure

2-18 illustrates a typical phasing plan. The implementation phase includes the preparation of a

requirements and management plan and the long range plan.
