  • Annex 1. Climate and Terrain Analysis
    DCN: 7799 Draft Deliberative Document - For Discussion Purposes Only - Do Not Release Under FOIA ANNEX 1. CLIMATE AND TERRAIN ANALYSIS 1.1 Introduction TABS addressed the climate and terrain area comments stated within Department of Defense Selection Criterion #2, which identifies the availability and condition of land throughout a diversity of climate and terrain as a key military value criterion. "The availability and condition of land, facilities and associated airspace (including training areas suitable for maneuver by ground, naval, or air forces throughout a diversity of climate and terrain areas and staging areas for the use of the Armed Forces in homeland defense missions) at both existing and potential receiving locations.” TABS identified installation coverage across different climate and terrain regimes and compared this coverage to Army maneuver land capability, since the capability to maneuver is the Army capability most influenced by land type. Other Army capabilities (e.g., industrial, admin, depot, etc.) are not as restricted by regime. 1.2 Definitions Maneuver / Training Areas – lands that provide space for the movement of combat forces and equipment under simulated battlefield conditions for training purposes in order to improve combat readiness. Terrestrial Habitats (Regimes) – areas that share similar environmental conditions, habitat structure, and patterns of biodiversity. A total of 14 major habitat types exist, ranging from forests to deserts. The 14 major habitat types include the full extent of continental topographic relief. Army installations reside within nine of these 14 habitats. 1.3 Approach TABS followed these steps: 1. Identified the major habitat types within the 50 United States and Puerto Rico where Army installations reside.
