The Department of the Army has prepared a DEIS pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to analyze the potential environmental impacts connected with the proposed acquisition of approximately 82,800 acres of land in the vicinity of Fort Benning, Georgia (GA) and Alabama (AL) for military training use. This Proposed Action will allow Fort Benning's Soldiers to conduct realistic maneuver training exercises through the battalion level as they train for contingency operations. The DEIS analyzes five acquisition alternatives, as well as the No Action Alternative (not acquiring more training land). Alternative 3 (acquire land in Stewart County, GA) is the Army's preferred alternative.
