Military planners provide order to federal land development based on forecasted requirements just as an urban or community planner would do for a municipality. Both learn to think strategically about the best use of local resources to create feasible and economical short and long-term plans for their geographic locales and stakeholders. Where a military community planner differs is in the resources and methods used to forecast mission requirements, the dynamic technology and geopolitical drivers of those requirements, and the influence of mission dependency on facilities infrastructure investment decisions made at the congressional level.
