Department of the Army 

Record of Decision (ROD) for the 

Realignment, Growth, and Stationing 

of Army Aviation Assets 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability (NOA). 

SUMMARY: The Assistant Deputy Chief of 

Staff of the Army, G–3/5/7, has 

reviewed the ‘‘Final Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(FPEIS) for Realignment, Growth, and 

Stationing of Army Aviation Assets’’ and 

has made the decision to proceed with 

the implementation of Alternative 3 

(preferred alternative). Specific details 

of the decision are captured in the 

Army’s ROD for this action. This ROD 

explains the Army will activate and 

station a new Combat Aviation Brigade 

(CAB) at Fort Carson, Colorado, 

resulting in a total growth of 

approximately 2,700 Soldiers and 113 

helicopters. As part of this decision, 

Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), 

Washington, will receive existing 

aviation units that will be realigned 

from other locations and will gain 

approximately 1,400 new Soldiers and 

44 helicopters. Implementation of this 

decision will include CAB training at 

each installation and at their respective 

satellite maneuver training areas: Pin ̃ on 

Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS) for Fort 

Carson and Yakima Training Center 

(YTC) for JBLM. This alternative best 

supports the need for realignment, 

growth, and realignment of aviation 

units. 

ADDRESSES: Questions or comments 

regarding the ROD should be forwarded 

to: Public Affairs Office, U.S. Army 

Environmental Command, Attention: 

IMPA–AE, 1835 Army Boulevard, Fort 

Sam Houston, TX 78234–2686. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Public Affairs Office at (210) 221–0882; 

fax (410) 436–1693, during normal 

business hours; or e-mail APGRUSAECNEPA@conus.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ROD 

incorporates analyses contained in the 

‘‘Final Programmatic Environmental 

Impact Statement (FPEIS) for the 

Realignment, Growth, and Stationing of 

Army Aviation Assets,’’ including 

comments provided during formal 

comment and review periods. The ROD 

discusses each alternative for the 

Proposed Action and provides a 

discussion of environmental impacts 

and mitigation commitments the Army 

will implement as part of this decision. 

The selected action best supports the 

need for con-solidation, growth, and 

stationing of aviation assets. This need 

includes addressing imbalances 

between mission requirements and 

available aviation forces, and also 

improving training opportunities for 

aviation and ground units. The decision 

will increase the availability of rotary 

wing units to meet current and future 

national security requirements and will 

allow the Army better to organize 

existing aviation units to promote more 

effective training and force 

management. Existing CABs cannot 

meet the continuing high demand 

sufficient to meet the Army’s goal of a 

one year deployed boots-on-the-Ground 

(BOG) to a two-year home station 

stabilization or 1:2 BOG to dwell ratio. 

The completion of these stationing 

actions will provide sufficient aviation 

assets to allow Soldiers more time at 

home between deployments. 

Furthermore, Fort Carson and JBLM do 

not currently have a CAB to support 

integrated air-ground operations. Airground integration training between 

CAB units and ground units allows each

17842 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 62 / Thursday, March 31, 2011 / Notices 

type of unit to maneuver more 

effectively with the other, understand 

key limitations and requirements, 

promote increased training readiness, 

and effectively prepare Army units for 

operational deployments abroad. In 

addition, both Fort Carson and JBLM are 

world-class military installations that 

have modernized range and training 

infrastructure and existing airfields 

capable of supporting CAB units. Both 

installations have adequate maneuver 

lands and airspace access, and the 

capability to provide CAB units with 

new or existing administrative space 

and garrison support infrastructure. 

The decision to realign components of 

a CAB to JBLM instead of stationing a 

full CAB there will reduce the impacts 

a full CAB would have had to traffic on 

Interstate 5 and other congested 

roadways and also reduce impacts on 

local schools. Split stationing existing 

CAB units and realigning less than a full 

CAB to JBLM will also ensure that 

critical aviation lift assets will remain in 

Alaska to support operations there. This 

split stationing approach will provide 

units at JBLM with full CAB training 

capability and benefits when realigned 

units are added to JBLMs existing 

aviation units. 

Environmental impacts associated 

with the implementation of the decision 

include potentially significant impacts 

to: transportation on the Interstate 5 

corridor near JBLM, fish and water 

quality in Puget Sound, and noise 

impacts to sensitive receptors. There are 

potentially significant impacts to 

biological resources at YTC from 

increased potential for wildfire and 

habitat degradation associated with 

aviation training. There may also be 

significant but mitigable impacts to soils 

at Fort Carson, PCMS, and YTC as well 

as significant but mitigable impacts to 

water resources at YTC. At PCMS, 

cumulative impacts to soils are 

predicted to be manageable with current 

dust control mitigation techniques. 

Impacts to cultural resources, air 

quality, noise, and public land use were 

all predicted to be less than significant. 

This decision provides the proper 

balance for addressing the shortfall in 

aviation force structure, optimizing 

training readiness, and enhancing 

quality of life for Soldiers and their 

Families by increasing the times 

between deployments for aviation 

Soldiers. As part of the implementation 

of this decision, the Army will take 

practical measures to mitigate impacts 

to protect and sustain the environment. 

A summary of environmental impacts 

and rationale for the decision can be 

found in the ROD which is available 

along with the FPEIS for public review 

at http://aec.army.mil/usaec/nepa/
