The strategic plan for Vandenberg Space Force Base outlines priorities for 2026 and beyond, focusing on three core pillars: Mission, People, and Future. The 'Mission' pillar emphasizes expanding operational capacity, streamlining efficiency, and securing critical infrastructure to build a 'Spaceport of the Future.' The 'People' pillar aims to improve workforce quality of life through investment in education and professional development. The 'Future' pillar prepares the base through modernization, automation, and the pursuit of the Spaceport 2036 vision. This comprehensive plan is designed to sustain Vandenberg's role as a vital national security spaceport, adapting to rapid growth and technological change.

This Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) for Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB) outlines an adaptive management approach for natural resources, integrating ecosystem-based strategies with the military mission. Key focus areas include fish and wildlife management, outdoor recreation, conservation law enforcement, management of threatened and endangered species, water resource protection, wetland protection, grounds maintenance, forest management, wildland fire management, agricultural outleasing, integrated pest management, coastal zone and marine resources management, cultural resources protection, public outreach, and geographic information systems. The plan aims to sustain, restore, and modernize natural infrastructure, ensuring no net loss in the installation's military mission capability while promoting ecosystem health and biodiversity over a five-year period.
