INTRODUCTION
The US Army must prepare for combat anywhere in the world and against any type of enemy. To
win on the modern battlefield, the Army must practice in peacetime for the first battle of the next war.
Soldiers are the Army's first line of defense in protecting the environment. They must safeguard the
environment where they work and live. By making good environmental decisions, soldiers can make
a difference. Leaders must practice combat techniques, and training must simulate actual battlefield
conditions as much as possible. To train for combat requires large expanses of land and airspace.
Conserving the limited number of training areas currently available is a major problem for the Army
at all levels.
