Report to Congress on Sustainable Ranges, 2010
Abstract
The need to train as we fight is fundamental to our armed forces. Ranges are some of our most valued assets--they provide contiguous, unencumbered space to replicate, as closely as possible, the operational environment of an assigned mission. Installations and ranges are critical to maintaining the readiness and mission effectiveness of the United States (U.S.) military. These assets must be available when and where needed, with the capabilities to support current and future military mission requirements. Creating and sustaining a network of ranges in the long-term requires a management framework that effectively addresses mission requirements, environment and natural resource management, and the interests and aspirations of the local community. DoD has developed the Sustainable Ranges Initiative (SRI) to create the framework for addressing these fundamental issues. Strategic elements of the initiative include policy, programming, leadership and organization, legislation, outreach, an information enterprise, and comprehensive reporting to Congress. A key component of the SRI is the annual Sustainable Ranges Report (SRR) to Congress. This report is the seventh in the series. The 2010 DoD Report to Congress on Sustainable Ranges (the SRR) is an update to the 2009 report. The report was developed in response to Section 366 of the 2003 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and Section 320 of the 2004 NDAA.
