Installation Management Command: How is the Command Supporting the Army Plan?

On 1 October 2002 the Installation Management Agency IMA was formed to consolidate the Armys 184 installations world-wide under the control of 15 Major Army Commands MACOM into a single organization. This initiative was designed to consolidate manpower and resources, to standardize base operations throughout all installations, to implement consistent standardized services at all installations, and to continue to improve the quality of life for all Soldiers, civilians, retirees, and their families. The IMA completed its initial implementation phase, finalized the reorganization, and emplaced systems to evaluate quality of life and cost savings. In August 2006, the Department of the Army decided to further transform the Agency to the Installation Management Command IMCOM further integrating its command structure.
