Installations are a critical component to the Nation's force capabilities. DoD is working to ensure that it is delivering cost-effective, safe, and environmentally sound capabilities and capacities to support the national defense mission.
On April 20, 2010, the Department of Defense tasked the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory to conduct a 60-day independent assessment of the impact of wind turbines on long range radar air surveillance capability, with a focus on the proposed wind farm at Shepherds Flat, Oregon and the Air Route Surveillance Radar (ARSR-3) at Fossil, Oregon (QVN). This study was cleared for public release.
This report provides DoD's detailed response to the call for comments on the Minerals Management Service "Draft Proposed Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) 2010-2015 Oil and Gas Leasing Program." This report was cleared for public release.
Geographic information for major installations, ranges, and training areas in the United States and its territories is now available. From the link, authoritative locations of the most commonly known DoD sites, installations, ranges, and training areas in the United States and territories can be downloaded. This information is the first to integrate site information about DoD installations, training ranges, and land assets in a format which can be immediately put to work in commercial geospatial information systems.
Homeland Security/Homeland Defense, law enforcement, and readiness planners will benefit from immediate access to DoD site location data during emergencies. Land use planning and renewable energy planning will also benefit from use of this data.
NOTE: The point and boundary location datasets are intended for planning purposes only, and do not represent the legal or surveyed land parcel boundaries.
Please examine the release notes (PDF, 43KB) to determine if this dataset is suitable for your needs.

These awards recognize outstanding achievement in environmental management by the DoD components, at both domestic and overseas bases, to sustain military readiness, training and operational capabilities.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency maintains a national scale map of the continental United States depicting significant United States military installations, ranges, and training areas. This map has recently been updated to reflect the best available, current authoritative real property data.
