Wildfire Activities Funded: Mitigation
TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS (IN MIL)
Description
The Compatible Use Plan (CUP) program, formerly the Joint Land Use Study Program, was established in 1985 and provides technical and financial assistance to state, local, and Tribal governments for studies to identify and mitigate activities that potentially impair the long-term readiness and military value of military installations. Studies also examine the impact of the military’s presence on the local economy and natural/cultural resources. Past grants have included studies on enhancing infrastructure resilience to extreme weather events, like sea level change.
In FY2023, the previously separated Compatible Use Plan and Military Installation Resiliency grants were merged into one broader program, Installation Resilience, which provides technical and financial assistance to state, local, and Tribal governments for activities that address man-made or natural threats that are likely to affect operations or readiness at local military installations. Projects may include: a comprehensive review of natural and man-made threats and vulnerabilities; targeted studies or plans concerning, but not limited to, transportation, land use/encroachment, utility services, housing, stormwater management, sewer, and communications; and table-top exercises with local military and civilian (public and private) leadership to review capacities of hard infrastructure and public services to respond to natural and/or man-made disruptions.

Appropriations Notes
Limited appropriations information is available on the Compatible Use Plan (CUP) program. DOD budget justifications occasionally detail requested appropriations for CUP grants but do not provide enacted appropriations. The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation, which oversees the CUP program, was appropriated $170.97 million in FY2024.
According to the Congressional Research Service, the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation executed $35.5 million in CUP grants from FY2018-FY2022.
