Abstract

The purpose of the proposed action is twofold. First, to provide the U.S. Army with the facilities, infrastructure, and space required to fully support the stationing, operational, and training requirements of three Shadow UAS platoons and their equipment on FSGA. Second, to provide the GAARNG with a permanent facility in which to operate, maintain, and support its Shadow UAS platoon, currently stationed on FSGA and operating from temporary facilities on the Installation. The proposed action is needed to ensure these Army and GAARNG platoons are trained safely, effectively, efficiently, and to DoD standards, that their equipment is housed, maintained and operated in accordance with all applicable standards and regulations, and to ensure the mission readiness of the nation's present and future warfighting requirements.
