Audit of Training Ranges Supporting Aviation Units in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command

Abstract

The objective of the audit was to determine whether training ranges and airspace that support U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) had the capability and capacity to support aviation readiness for units assigned to the USINDOPACOM. We focused on rotary-wing (helicopter), fixed-wing (airplane), and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) that have offensive weapons (weapons used to attack enemy assets). We defined capability as the ability of the range to provide realistic training conditions, targets, and threats. We defined capacity as the ability of the range size and airspace to accommodate the number and types of aircraft and training missions that need to occur. We reviewed ranges located in Japan, South Korea, Hawaii, Alaska, Nevada, and Arizona.
