What is the trade-off between sustainability for long-term viability of the U.S. Army and availability of training areas upon which to maintain combat efficiency?
The Army must train to maintain its combat efficiency and individual soldier skills. Most training requires training lands and ranges. To have training lands and ranges into the future years requires some type of effort to preserve the environment. Sustainability promises to be the method to ensure training lands and ranges, as well as comfortable quarters and acceptable quality of life for soldiers and family members, continue to exist.
