Constructing a Dynamic Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan for the Fort Benning Installation of the U. S. Army
Previous paper-based versions of the Fort Benning Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan (INRMP) have been static (non-editable, unchangeable). The primary goal of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Champaign, Illinois is to transform the INRMP into a dynamic, more accessible document. This will be achieved by changing the document from a paper-based to an electronic framework. The Microsoft Access Database Management System was used in order to produce the database into which all users, user-classes, views, document content, etc. were integrated into; therefore, transforming the document to an electronic framework. This allows the INRMP content to be more readily available and allows quick and easy sharing. Upon accomplishing the primary goal, the dynamic INRMP will be run across the Dynamic Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan Prototype Tool. This tool tests the database's structure and allows content entry/retrieval into various tables of the database while supporting multiple users with different levels of access on a single platform.
