Report to Congress on Sustainable Ranges
Abstract
This is the fourth installment of the Sustainable Ranges Report. This report addresses two Congressional reporting requirements: (1) Section 366 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 required the Department of Defense (DoD) to develop a comprehensive plan to address training constraints caused by limitations on the use of military lands, marine areas, and airspace that are available in the United States (U.S.) and overseas for training of the Armed Forces. Progress reports are required on an annual basis through 2013 (2) Similarly, in Section 320 of the FY 2004 NDAA, the Congress required DoD to report on the impacts of civilian community encroachment on military installations and operational ranges, as well as the impact of certain legal requirements on military readiness activities. Section 320 requires DoD to submit an interim report and subsequent annual reports. This report also addresses the Government Accountability Office's (GAO) comments on the 2006 Sustainable Ranges Report. Additionally, this report addresses language expressed in the Senate version of the 2007 NDAA to require DoD to establish a policy to identify military aerial training areas, determine aerial training airspace requirements to meet future training needs, and undertake necessary actions to preserve and expand those areas of airspace needed for training requirements.
