seed propagation operations to stabilize the ecosystem.
They also started a Go-at Green program in which goats
consume invasive grass on the installation.
y Net Ze o Ene gy. The NWJRCF installed energy-
effcient light bulbs and instituted nighttime inspections
throughout the facility. Four high-quality, energy-effcient
greenhouses were purchased to sustain the prisoner
horticulture program year-round. Eight 400-watt solar
panels and one 400-watt turbine windmill were also
purchased as alternative energy resources, reducing
energy costs by 40 percent.

prisoner horticulture program through the winter,
eliminating any need to consume additional water
to grow plants. Water consumption was reduced by
60 percent by installing a drip line irrigation system for
the entire horticulture program and mixing compost into
the soil, which allows for the top of the soil to hold more
water and prevents evaporation. A honeybee pollination
program was instituted, increasing the growth of fresh
produce for a local food bank by more than 50 percent.
(The U.S. Department of Agriculture recognizes that bees
are responsible for pollinating 204,000 owering plants,
about 87 percent of all 235,000 known species.)
y Net Ze o Waste. The NWJRCF initiated the f irst
waste diversion training for prisoners in the U.S. Army
Corrections Command. Sustainable outreach professionals
created a program called Prisoner Waste Management
Engineer and trained more than 30 prisoners and
25 staff members. The program boosted NWJRCF waste
diversion from less than 5 percent to approximately
90 percent per weekâthe highest percentage at JBLM. A
vermicomposting program was instituted to allow worms
to consume food waste and shredded paper and turn them
into enriched compost; the NWJRCF partnered with the
installation recycling program to have the worms consume
shredded sensitive documents, saving the installation
thousands of dollars in annual disposal costs.
y Measu able Outcomes. The NWJRCF donated more
than 10,000 pounds of produce worth $88,000 to a local
community food bank. Fifty Easter lilies were donated to
installation chapels in 2013, saving an estimated $1,000.
The 2014 Easter lily contribution total is expected to be
triple that amount. More than 6,300 plant starts have
been donated to the JBLM Child Development Center and
local civilian agencies.

operation. Military planners should pay particular attention
to detention operations and criminal investigation needs.
Military police commanders and staffs must proactively
advise supported commanders and their staffs about
military police capabilities, methods of employment, and the
depth of the military police force pool.
Military police units need to establish habitual
relationships with brigade combat teams and divisions that
link their enabling capability to the maneuver forces. These
relationships can be further ingrained as military police
units are incorporated into training at combat training
centers and during warfghter exercises.
Conclusion
Strategic landpower is essential to achieving national
security objectives before, during, and after Military
police provide critical expertise in policing, investigations,
and corrections to enable mission accomplishment. From
regional engagements before to maneuver support
during decisive action, military police stand ready to
preserve the force.
