DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Notice of Availability for the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(DEIS) for Stationing and Training of 

Increased Aviation Assets Within U.S. 

Army Alaska 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DOD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

announces the availability of a DEIS for 

the implementation of the decisions to 

increase numbers and types of aviation 

assets and training at Fort Wainwright, 

Fort Richardson or other military 

installations in Alaska. The proposed 

aviation unit, an Aviation Task Force or 

Combat Aviation Brigade, would 

potentially consist of up to 62 medium 

and heavy lift helicopters, 30 combat 

scout helicopters, 24 attack helicopters, 

and between 1,200 to 2,850 personnel. 

DATES: The public comment period ends 

45 days following publication of a 

Notice of Availability in the Federal 

Register by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be forwarded to Ms. Carrie McEnteer, 

Directorate of Public Works, Attention: 

IMPA–FWA–PWE, 1060 Gaffney Road 

#4500, Fort Wainwright, AK 99703– 

4500, by fax at (907) 353–9867, or by email at carrie.mcenteerus.army.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Linda L. Douglass, Public Affairs Office, 

1060 Gaffney Road #5900, Fort 

Wainwright, AK 99703–5900; 

telephone: (907) 353–6701 or (907) 384– 

2546, e-mail: linda.douglassusarmy.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Proposed Action and analysis in the EIS 

includes the reorganization of existing 

aviation assets (approximately 640 

personnel and 30 medium and heavy lift 

helicopters) in U.S. Army Alaska 

(USARAK) to become a frontline 

aviation unit with an increased capacity 

that could range in size from an 

Aviation Task Force (approximately 

1,200 personnel, 40 medium and heavy 

lift helicopters and 30 combat scout 

helicopters) to a Combat Aviation 

Brigade (approximately 2,850 personnel, 

60 medium and heavy lift helicopters, 

30 combat scout helicopters, and 24 

attack aviation helicopters). 

While USARAK has historically 

supported unit training activities within 

Alaska with rotary-winged aircraft 

(helicopters), the types and numbers of 

current assets are not sufficient to 

provide the full range of integrated 

tactical training required by the modern 

Brigade Combat Team. The proposed 

increase and reorganization of 

USARAK’s aviation assets would 

resolve this shortcoming. The new 

aviation unit would provide key 

aviation assets for operational 

deployment abroad and would serve to 

enhance the training capability of 

USARAK’s two Brigade Combat Teams 

by providing a local opportunity to 

conduct integrated training with 

multiple types of Army aviation assets. 

In addition to consideration of a No 

Action Alternative (use of existing 

aviation assets and infrastructure to 

support USARAK Brigade Combat Team 

training with no increase to current 

integrated land-air training capability), 

two additional alternatives are proposed 

as possible scenarios for the 

reorganization of existing USARAK 

aviation assets. The alternatives vary by 

aviation unit size, aviation asset 

composition and stationing location. 

Alternatives include: (1) Expansion of 

Existing Aviation Units into an Aviation 

Task Force—convert existing USARAK 

aviation assets into an Aviation Task 

Force (station approximately 1,200 

personnel and 30 additional helicopters, 

build sufficient new infrastructure to 

support the new aviation inventory at 

Fort Wainwright and conduct increased 

aviation training on existing Alaska 

military training lands and ranges); and 

(2) Expansion of Existing Aviation 

Assets into a Combat Aviation Brigade 

with stationing of Soldiers and 

helicopters at Fort Wainwright, Fort 

Richardson and Eielson Air Force 

Base—convert existing USARAK 

aviation assets into a Combat Aviation 

Brigade (station approximately 2,850 

personnel and an additional 84 

helicopters at the three military 

installations, build sufficient new 

infrastructure only at Fort Wainwright 

to support the new aviation inventory 

and conduct increased aviation training 

on existing Alaska military training 

lands and ranges). After reviewing the 

alternatives presented in the DEIS, the 

Army has selected the Aviation Task 

Force alternative as its preferred 

alternative. 

The DEIS is available for public 

review at local libraries and at the 

following Web site: http:// 

www.usarak.army.mil/conservation/ 

NEPA_home.htm. Comments from the 

public will be considered before any 

final decision is made. 

Dated: April 20, 2009.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army, 

Environment, Safety, and Occupational 

Health.
