Target Upgrades on Leach Lake Tactical Range at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, California

The USAF at Nellis AFB, Nevada proposes to upgrade targets on Leach Lake Tactical Range to enhance realistic training for air liason officers, forward air controllers-airborne, tacital air control parties, special tactics team members, and selected Army, Navy, and Marine Corp members. The realistic training includes tactics, techniques, and procedures in planning, requesting, controlling close air support at the tactical level. Upgrade actions would include reconfiguring and/or rebuilding current targets and building new targets. The USAF also proposes to construct a 500-foot long fence on each side of the existing Owl Springs fence and gate, and install installation boundary/warning sights to improve security and public safety.
