ARMY TRAINING CENTER EXPANDING INTO CALIFORNIA DESERT=20

FORT IRWIN, California, July 17, 2001 (ENS) - The Army and the Interior
Department are proposing to expand maneuver training lands at the National
Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, California, while protecting endangered
and threatened species and their critical habitats.

The Army says the NTC is the only training area in the world suitable for
force on force and live maneuver training of heavy brigade sized military
forces. The site provides essential training opportunities necessary to
maintain and improve military readiness and promote national security, the
Army says.
