Communities that plan for accommodating future military training and
testing will be better prepared through future base realignment and
closure exercises. We have developed a suite of software that
allows a community to test proposed regional plans with respect to
future military training and testing opportunities. Plans that
can be tested include location of highway development/expansion,
location of ramps to limited access highways, zoning, location of
utilities, property purchases, and purchase of property development
rights. Final output maps indicate future (20-40 yr) acceptable
locations for dust, smoke, and noise generating training
exercises. Preliminary first-step results for Fort Riley will be
presented.
