DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army 

Record of Decision (ROD) for Military 

Training Activities at Makua Military 

Reservation (MMR), Hawaii 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability (NOA). 

SUMMARY: Senior Commander, US Army 

Hawaii, has reviewed the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for Military Training Activities at MMR 

and has made the decision to proceed 

with a variation of Alternative 2 to 

recommence live-fire training at MMR. 

Alternative 2 in the Final EIS analyzes 

up to 50 combined-arms live-fire 

exercises (CALFEX) and 200 convoy 

live-fire exercises (LFX). The variation 

of Alternative 2 allows up to 32 

CALFEXs and 150 convoy LFXs, and 

allows squad- and platoon-level LFXs 

that lead up to the company-level 

CALFEX. This decision also reconfirms 

that the Army will not use MMR for 

live-fire training at night until all 

relevant fire suppression measures are 

met and approved in accordance with 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2007 

and 2008 Biological Opinions. The 

Army has decided not to use the 

following weapon systems at MMR in 

order to further protect the 

environmental and cultural resources of 

the valley: Tracer ammunition; Javelin 

and inert, tube-launched, optically 

tracked, wire-guided (TOW) missiles; 

anti-tank (AT–4) and 2.75-inch rockets; 

the shoulder-launched multipurpose 

assault weapon (SMAW); and 

illumination munitions. This decision 

also eliminates the use of Ka’ena Point 

and C–Ridge for training, due to the risk 

of wildfire and the potential impacts to 

threatened and endangered species. 

This Alternative 2 variation represents a 

proper balance for meeting the training 

requirements of the units of the 25th 

Infantry Division (ID), U.S. Army 

Reserve, Hawaii Army National Guard, 

and other users of the range at MMR, 

while ensuring the Army meets its 

responsibilities to preserve the land and 

resources at MMR, and continues to be 

a good neighbor to the community along 

the Wai’anae coast. 

ADDRESSES: Address requests for a copy 

of the ROD to the U.S. Army Garrison, 

Hawaii, Attention: Public Affairs Office, 

742 Santos Dumont, WAAF, Schofield 

Barracks, HI 96857, or download a copy 

from the following Web site: http:// 

www.garison.hawaii.army.mil/ 

makuaeis. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. 

Army Garrison, Hawaii Public Affairs 

Office at (808) 656–3152; facsimile at 

(808) 656–3162 during normal business 

hours Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 

5 p.m. HST. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final 

EIS assessed four alternatives to 

accomplish combined-arms live-fire 

training on Hawaii: MMR Alternative 1 

(Reduced Capacity Use with Some 

Weapons Restrictions), MMR 

Alternative 2 (Full Capacity Use with 

Some Weapons Restrictions), MMR 

Alternative 3 (Full Capacity Use with 

Fewer Weapons Restrictions), and 

Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) 

Alternative 4 (Full Capacity Use with 

Fewer Weapons Restrictions). A No 

Action Alternative, under which non 

live-fire military training would 

continue to be conducted at MMR, was 

also evaluated. 

Implementation of the Alternative 2 

variation may result in several major 

impacts to: Recreational resources, noise 

from training, soils, natural resources 

(including threatened and endangered 

species), cultural resources, surface 

water quality from erosion, wildfires, 

and to public safety from the transport 

of munitions through the Wai’anae 

community.
