Vision Statement
It is Installation Management Command’s vision to be the most fiscally responsible, and customer service oriented, arm of the United States Army. Through human capital growth, employee development, and a realignment of our departments, we’ll be able to successfully eliminate critical shortfalls, boost employee morale, and create an environment free of unnecessary redundancy, and undue expense to the taxpayer.

Another way is to include an e-mail address in every document that we market. The e-mail address could be set up to request feedback from everyone that has a comment or suggestion. The coalition could have access to the e-mail, and each suggestion could be brought up during our meetings. If a change to the vision is needed, we can make those changes and redistribute it to the workforce. Setting up a two-way communication feed wouldn’t cost much, but it can be extremely beneficial.
