## Summary

**This bill creates a framework for standardized, technology-driven monitoring of natural resources on military installations to support mission readiness, climate resilience, and community safety.** It requires the Department of Defense to develop installation-specific metrics, use remote sensing and artificial intelligence, and tie those data to integrated natural resources management plans so leaders can compare trends and set measurable restoration or protection goals. - Military planners and installations will get regular, comparable data on biodiversity, habitat, water quality, wildfire and flood risk, soil and vegetation health, and other ecosystem services so decisions and INRMP updates are more evidence driven and linked to mission sustainment. - Nearby communities and land managers benefit from clearer information on watershed effects, flood and wildfire risk, and ecosystem conditions that affect public safety and local resilience. - Federal and state environmental reviewers and DoD partners must coordinate on standardized metrics and reporting, which the bill says should help speed and simplify interagency permitting and environmental review.
