What is an ISP?

• A. A written agreement between installation activity/facility POCs and Public Health Command that outlines the food and animal support that will be provided to the installation.
• B. A plan for energy usage on installation.
• C. A training program for staff.
• D. A policy for inventory management.

Answer: (A)

An ISP is a formal written agreement that defines the food and animal health support the Public Health Command will provide to the installation, along with who is responsible for what and how services will be delivered. It sets the scope, coordination points, response expectations, and resources needed so facility staff and Public Health Command know exactly what to expect for on-base food safety, animal health, and related services. This isn’t about energy plans, staff training programs, or inventory policies, which cover different areas; the ISP specifically codifies the arrangement for public health support related to food and animals on the installation.
