Abstract
Constant military training is required to maintain a state of combat readiness for the US Army. The majority of this training occurs on military installations, specifically training ranges. Over time, this training exerts a toll on the landscape creating conditions that reduce training effectiveness, cause erosion and increase maintenance expenditures. To alleviate these problems,.The Dept. of Def. Has Created the Sustainable Ranges Prog. in an Effort to Assist Mil. Land Managers with Environ. Issues and Provide Improved Train. Environments for Army Pers.. This Stud. Evaluates Train. Range and Range Struct. Perf. Based on Environ. Risk and Sustainability and Recommends Des. Methodologies for Improving Range Elements. This Info. is Necessary to Dev. Best Mgmt. Practices That Improve Environ. Compliance, Lengthen the Range Struct. Maintenance Interval, Reduce Overall Cost and Enhance Mil. Train.
