The
Commander Naval Forces Marianas
(COMNAVMAR) as the Department of
Defense Representative Guam,
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, Federated States of Micronesia
and Republic of Palau is the Executive
Agent for the Commander United States
Pacific Command (USPACOM) on all
matters of MIRC management and
sustainment. COMNAVMAR
coordinates Joint Service planning and
use of MIRC ranges and training areas.
COMNAVMAR’s role is to provide
resources, range complex management,
and training support to U.S. military
forces in the Western Pacific
(WESTPAC) Theater.
COMNAVMAR’s mission in the MIRC
is to support Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, Army
Reserves, and Guam National Guard
tactical training by maintaining and
operating facilities and range
infrastructure and by providing services
and material. The MIRC consists of

multiple ranges and training areas of
land, sea space (nearshore and offshore),
undersea space, and air space under
different controlling authorities in the
Territory of Guam, the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI),
and surrounding waters.
The mission of USPACOM is to
provide interoperable, trained, and
combat-ready military forces to support
the National Security Strategy of the
United States in the WESTPAC Theater.
United States military forces from all
Services use the MIRC as a training
venue to prepare for contingency
warfare.
The MIRC is the westernmost military
training complex in U.S. territory. The
MIRC has range and training area assets
in Guam and the Northern Mariana
Islands archipelago. Guam is located
roughly three quarters the distance from
Hawaii to the Philippines, 1,600 miles
east of Manila and 1,550 miles southeast
of Tokyo. The southern extent of CNMI
is located 40 miles north of Guam (Rota
Island) and extends 330 miles to the
northwest. The CNMI capital, Saipan, is
3,300 miles west of Honolulu and 1,470
miles south-southeast of Tokyo. The
location of the MIRC allows for training
of U.S. military forces in WESTPAC,
without having to return to Hawaii or
the continental United States.
The purpose of the Proposed Action
is to: Achieve and maintain military
readiness using the MIRC to conduct
and support current, emerging, and
future military training and RDT&E
operations on existing DoD lands and
ranges and adjacent air and ocean areas;
and, upgrade and modernize range
complex capabilities to enhance and
sustain military training and RDT&E
operations and to expand the Services
warfare missions.
The Proposed Action stems from the
need to: (1) Maintain current levels of
military readiness by training in the
MIRC; (2) accommodate future increases
in operational training tempo on
existing ranges and adjacent air and
ocean areas in the MIRC and support the
rapid deployment of military units and
strike groups; (3) achieve and sustain
readiness so that the Military Services
can quickly surge required combat
power in the event of a national crisis
or contingency operation consistent
with Service training requirements; (4)
support the acquisition, testing,
training, and fielding of advanced
platforms and weapons systems into
Service force structure; and, (5)
maintain the long-term viability of the
MIRC while protecting human health
and the environment, enhancing the
quality of training, communications,
and safety within the range complex.

The EIS/OEIS will consider two
action alternatives to accomplish these
objectives, in addition to the No-Action
Alternative. The No-Action Alternative
is the continuation of training
operations, RDT&E activities and ongoing base operations. This includes all
multi-Service training activities and
operations on Navy and Non-Navy
ranges and training areas including:
Andersen Air Force Base (Main Base,
Northwest Field, Andersen South, and
Tarague Beach); Naval Station Guam
and its off-shore areas; Farallon de
Medinilla; Tinian; Saipan; and Air
Traffic Control Assigned Airspace
(ATCAA). Alternative 1 includes the
activities described in the No-Action
Alternative with the addition of
increased training operations as a result
of upgrades and modernization of
existing ranges and training areas, and
of operations on existing ranges that are
required to support the relocation of
military units to the DoD REP Area of
Responsibility (AOR). Alternative 2
would include all the operations
described in Alternative 1 with the
addition of new operations on existing
ranges and training areas and adjacent
air and ocean areas with upgraded and
modernized capabilities. In addition,
Alternative 2 would incorporate the
increased operations resulting from
increased operational tempo and
training event frequency to optimize
training throughput in support of
current and future contingencies.
Previously, the Navy’s Joint Guam
Program Office (JGPO) published a
Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS/OEIS
for the Relocation of U.S. Marine Corps
Forces to Guam (Federal Register, 72 FR
10186, March 7, 2007). JGPO’s proposed
EIS/OEIS will examine potential impact
from activities associated with the
Marine Corps units’ relocation from
Okinawa, Japan to Guam, including
operations, infrastructure changes and
training. Since the proposed MIRC EIS/
OEIS will cover all DoD training on
existing DoD land and operating areas in
and around Guam and CNMI, there will
be some overlap between the two
proposed EIS/OEISs. Therefore,
preparation of these documents will be
closely coordinated to ensure
consistency.
Environmental issues that will be
addressed in the EIS/OEIS include but
are not limited to: Airspace; biological
resources (including marine mammals
and threatened and endangered
species); cultural resources; health and
safety; and noise. The analysis will
include an evaluation of direct and
indirect impacts, and will account for
cumulative impacts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commander Naval Forces Marianas
(COMNAVMAR) as the Department of Defense Representative Guam,
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Federated States of
Micronesia and Republic of Palau is the Executive Agent for the
Commander United States Pacific Command (USPACOM) on all matters of
MIRC management and sustainment. COMNAVMAR coordinates Joint Service
planning and use of MIRC ranges and training areas. COMNAVMAR's role is
to provide resources, range complex management, and training support to
U.S. military forces in the Western Pacific (WESTPAC) Theater.
COMNAVMAR's mission in the MIRC is to support Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, Army Reserves, and Guam National
Guard tactical training by maintaining and operating facilities and
range infrastructure and by providing services and material. The MIRC
consists of multiple ranges and training areas of land, sea space
(nearshore and offshore), undersea space, and air space under different
controlling authorities in the Territory of Guam, the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and surrounding waters.
The mission of USPACOM is to provide interoperable, trained, and
combat-ready military forces to support the National Security Strategy
of the United States in the WESTPAC Theater. United States military
forces from all Services use the MIRC as a training venue to prepare
for contingency warfare.
The MIRC is the westernmost military training complex in U.S.
territory. The MIRC has range and training area assets in Guam and the
Northern Mariana Islands archipelago. Guam is located roughly three
quarters the distance from Hawaii to the Philippines, 1,600 miles east
of Manila and 1,550 miles southeast of Tokyo. The southern extent of
CNMI is located 40 miles north of Guam (Rota Island) and extends 330
miles to the northwest. The CNMI capital, Saipan, is 3,300 miles west
of Honolulu and 1,470 miles south-southeast of Tokyo. The location of
the MIRC allows for training of U.S. military forces in WESTPAC,
without having to return to Hawaii or the continental United States.
The purpose of the Proposed Action is to: Achieve and maintain
military readiness using the MIRC to conduct and support current,
emerging, and future military training and RDT&E operations on existing
DoD lands and ranges and adjacent air and ocean areas; and, upgrade and
modernize range complex capabilities to enhance and sustain military
training and RDT&E operations and to expand the Services warfare
missions.
The Proposed Action stems from the need to: (1) Maintain current
levels of military readiness by training in the MIRC; (2) accommodate
future increases in operational training tempo on existing ranges and
adjacent air and ocean areas in the MIRC and support the rapid
deployment of military units and strike groups; (3) achieve and sustain
readiness so that the Military Services can quickly surge required
combat power in the event of a national crisis or contingency operation
consistent with Service training requirements; (4) support the
acquisition, testing, training, and fielding of advanced platforms and
weapons systems into Service force structure; and, (5) maintain the
long-term viability of the MIRC while protecting human health and the
environment, enhancing the quality of training, communications, and
safety within the range complex.
The EIS/OEIS will consider two action alternatives to accomplish
these objectives, in addition to the No-Action Alternative. The No-
Action Alternative is the continuation of training operations, RDT&E
activities and on-going base operations. This includes all multi-
Service training activities and operations on Navy and Non-Navy ranges
and training areas including: Andersen Air Force Base (Main Base,
Northwest Field, Andersen South, and Tarague Beach); Naval Station Guam
and its off-shore areas; Farallon de Medinilla; Tinian; Saipan; and Air
Traffic Control Assigned Airspace (ATCAA). Alternative 1 includes the
activities described in the No-Action Alternative with the addition of
increased training operations as a result of upgrades and modernization
of existing ranges and training areas, and of operations on existing
ranges that are required to support the relocation of military units to
the DoD REP Area of Responsibility (AOR). Alternative 2 would include
all the operations described in Alternative 1 with the addition of new
operations on existing ranges and training areas and adjacent air and
ocean areas with upgraded and modernized capabilities. In addition,
Alternative 2 would incorporate the increased operations resulting from
increased operational tempo and training event frequency to optimize
training throughput in support of current and future contingencies.
Previously, the Navy's Joint Guam Program Office (JGPO) published a
Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS/OEIS for the Relocation of U.S.
Marine Corps Forces to Guam (Federal Register, 72 FR 10186, March 7,
2007). JGPO's proposed EIS/OEIS will examine potential impact from
activities associated with the Marine Corps units' relocation from
Okinawa, Japan to Guam, including operations, infrastructure changes
and training. Since the proposed MIRC EIS/OEIS will cover all DoD
training on existing DoD land and operating areas in and around Guam
and CNMI, there will be some overlap between the two proposed EIS/
OEISs. Therefore, preparation of these documents will be closely

marine mammals and threatened and endangered species); cultural
resources; health and safety; and noise. The analysis will include an
evaluation of direct and indirect impacts, and will account for
cumulative impacts.
