### Project 031 — Environmentally Sustainable Acquisition/Logistics

The Environmentally Sustainable Acquisition/Logistics (ESAL) project provides support to the system acquisition community to integrate environmental quality issues and concerns into the life cycle system acquisition process, including human health risks, life safety, material obsolescence due to regulatory pressures, occupational exposures and energy efficiency. This includes helping the acquisition community address high priority issues associated with hexavalent chromium, cadmium and airborne lead. The focus of ESAL is on improving readiness, enabling mission capabilities, improving acquisition processes, reducing supportability burden, and minimizing total ownership cost. The Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment has defined the functions of the ESAL project in coordination with the Army Acquisition Executive and the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology). This project provides direct support to the Army Installations (maintenance community, Soldier and family health, and surrounding community health and safety) and Army acquisition community to pursue environmental sustainability and comply with legal statutes, policies and regulations during the life cycle of Army materiel. ESAL helps address Army Modernization Priorities, while sustaining readiness and achieving compliance with its installations, weapon systems, industrial base, field and deployed activities directed by international treaties, Federal statutes, Executive Orders, Department of War (DoW) and Army policies and regulations. ESAL also reduces exposure to toxic materials to Soldiers, civilians, family members to reduce the possibility of substitution regret. Beginning in FY26 The Environmentally Sustainable Acquisition/Logistics Project will assume Department of War Executive Agent Responsibilities for the Unexploded Ordnance Center of Excellence (UXOCOE), in direct support of Assistant Secretary of the Army, Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology ASA(ALT). The UXOCOE project provides central coordination of the DoW's Counter Explosive Hazards (C-EH) research and engineering (R&E) investment efforts by maintaining and openly sharing awareness in order for the DoW to efficiently, effectively, and economically acquire C-EH technology capabilities.

### Project 06I — Environmental Quality Technology Support

This project provides Research, Development, Test, & Evaluation (RDTE) Management Support for the demonstration and validation of innovative environmental quality technologies to modernize materials and processes required for current and future operational sustainment and warfighter training capabilities. The project supports technologies that increase life safety, reduce Soldier and worker human health risks, enhance readiness, and enable mission capabilities of the current and future force, while simultaneously increasing performance and standardization across the Army. This project provides for management of RDTE activities conducted under Program Element 0603779A (Environmental Quality Technology Dem/Val) / Project E21 (Environmental Quality Technology Dem/ Val), which supports the Cross Functional Teams and the Army's top modernization priorities by addressing potential obsolescence of legacy materials and current and emerging impacts on human health and the environment. The project expedites technology transition from the laboratory to operational use by establishing toxicology assessments to support the demonstration of modern materials and processes fulfilling or surpassing the performance requirements outlined in Material Specifications, Depot Maintenance Work Requirements, Technical Manuals, Drawings, and other technical data. Work in this project is performed by the United States Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM).

## Mission & acquisition strategy

This Program Element (PE) funds environmental quality technology related management support functions including support of research, development, test, and evaluation required for technical integration efforts at demonstration/validation test sites, technical information and activities, test facilities and general test instrumentation, and requirement assessments. Funds support the management of technology transfer associated with technology demonstrated and validated as part of Army environmental quality technology related projects.
