2017 Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Program Report to Congress

Abstract

The Department of Defenses ability to conduct realistic live-fire training, weapons system testing, and essential operations is vital to preparing warfighters and their equipment for real-world combat and protecting the security of our country. There is a direct relationship between realistic training and success on the battlefield. Starting in the late 1990s, the Department became increasingly concerned about encroachmentpressures or factors affecting the militarys use of training and testing lands. Specifically, military installations saw two main threats to their ability to test and train: nearby incompatible development and environmental restrictions to protect imperiled species and their habitats.
