Final Environmental Assessment for Beddown of the 610th Security Forces Squadron Regional Training Center at Fort Wolters, Texas

Abstract

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) proposes to beddown the 610th Security Force Squadron (610th SFS), construct mission support facilities and infrastructure, and operate an Expeditionary Combat Support Training and Certification (ECS TCC) training site at Fort Wolters, Mineral Wells, Texas (TX). Approximately 30 cadre and administrative staff would be assigned to Fort Wolters as part of the beddown. The beddown would include the construction of 10 minor projects or facilities in three phases over the next 10+ years. Facilities would include: student, cadre, laundry, faculty, and classroom modular buildings; a dining facility; student dormitories, classrooms, and planning facilities; an administrative/command and control facility; a warehouse; weapons cleaning facility; and associated vehicle and equipment parking areas. In five to ten years after construction begins, there could be up to 300 students receiving proficiency training at the proposed facilities. Construction of a dedicated training center for the 610th SFS will improve mission quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of the 610th SFS training missions while simultaneously enhancing the capabilities and capacity of the TXARNG site. The partnership with the TXARNG has been determined to be the fiscally responsible approach as determined by Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE). This Environmental Assessment addressing the Beddown of the 610th Security Forces Squadron Regional Training Center at Fort Wolters, TX only addresses the increase in field training from the proposed action. The Modified Record Firing (MRF) range at Fort Wolters addressed in the already completed Modified Record Firing Range EA for Fort Wolters, TX would be the field training site for proposed action of this EA. As such the summary of the already completed Modified Record Firing Range EA for Fort Wolters, TX is provided in Section 4 to address the increase in field training from the proposed action.
