Department of the Army 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(DEIS) for the Permanent Stationing of 

the 2nd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division 

Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability (NOA). 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

announces the availability of a DEIS for 

the permanent stationing of the 2nd 

Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (2/25th) 

SBCT. Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

Department of the Army has prepared 

this DEIS to disclose potential impacts 

to the natural, physical, and human 

environment resulting from the 

permanent stationing of the 2/25th 

SBCT. Potential impacts have been 

analyzed at installations which are 

capable of meeting the SBCTs training, 

operational, Soldier and Family quality 

of life, and strategic deployment 

requirements. 

DATES: Written comments on the DEIS 

will be accepted for 45 days following 

publication of a notice of availability in 

the Federal Register by the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

ADDRESSES: Send all written comments 

and suggestions concerning this EIS to: 

Public Affairs Office, U.S. Army 

Environmental Command, Building 

E4460, Attention: IMAE–PA, 5179 

Hoadley Road, Aberdeen Proving 

Ground, MD 21010–5401. Comments 

may also be sent via e-mail to 

PublicComments@aec.apgea.army.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Public Affairs Office at (410) 436–2556; 

facsimile at (410) 436–1693 (during 

normal business hours Monday through 

Friday). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Proposed Action and analysis within 

the DEIS covers those activities required 

to implement the stationing of the 2/ 

25th SBCT. These activities include 

garrison construction, training range 

construction, live-fire training, and 

maneuver training. 

In May 2004, the Army released the 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(FEIS) for Transformation of the 2nd 

Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Light) 

to the 2/25th SBCT. The SBCT is a 

maneuver brigade that includes 

approximately 4,000 Soldiers (infantry, 

artillery, engineers, and other Army 

specialties) and 1,000 vehicles 

(including about 320 Stryker Combat 

Vehicles). In July 2004, the Army 

released a Record of Decision (ROD) 

documenting its decision to transform 

the 2/25th from an Infantry brigade to 

an SBCT and permanently home station 

it in Hawaii. 

The Stryker is an armored infantry 

wheeled combat vehicle. The Stryker 

provides Soldiers and commanders with 

increased firepower, maneuverability, 

and, most importantly, survivability in 

a combat environment. The increased 

speed and maneuver capabilities of the 

SBCT allow it to conduct operations 

across much larger areas than the 

Army’s traditional legacy brigades. 

These capabilities have allowed the 

SBCT to successfully conduct a broad 

range of missions in support of 

Operation Iraqi Freedom. 

To be effective when operationally 

deployed abroad requires that the SBCT 

have the proper training and support 

facilities at a home station. Such 

facilities include training ranges, 

maneuver land, housing, administrative, 

and quality of life infrastructure for the 

SBCTs Soldiers, their Families, vehicles 

and equipment. Without these 

resources, the SBCT cannot attain the 

readiness levels needed to ensure the 

successful accomplishment of its 

missions and safety of its Soldiers. In 

addition to these requirements, the 

SBCT must be stationed in a location 

from which it can rapidly deploy to 

support national security requirements. 

The 2/25th began its transformation to 

an SBCT shortly after completion of the 

2004 FEIS and signing of the ROD. As 

of November 2006, the Brigade had 

completed a majority of its training and 

equipment fielding in Hawaii and is
