SEC. 352. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ACCESS TO TRAINING 
RANGES WITHIN UNITED STATES PACIFIC 
COMMAND AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) Reliable access to military training ranges is 
an essential component of military readiness. 
(2) The training opportunities provided by mili-
tary training ranges are critical to maintaining the 
technical and operational superiority of the Armed 
Forces. 
(3) The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review 
states that the operational readiness of the Armed 
Forces hinges on unimpeded access to land, air, and 
sea training and test space. 
(4) The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review 
states that United States forces in the Asia-Pacific 
region ‘‘will resume regular bilateral and multilateral 
training exercises, pursue increased training oppor-
tunities to improve capabilities and capacity of part-
ner nations, as well as support humanitarian, dis-
aster relief, counterterrorism, and other operations 
that contribute to the stability of the region’’. 
(5) A number of critical military training 
ranges, including the Pohakuloa Training Center in 
Hawaii, are located within the United States Pacific

Command area of responsibility providing units from 
all the military services, as well as allied and partner 
militaries with realistic joint and combined arms 
training opportunities. 
(6) Due to the ‘‘tyranny of distance’’ in the 
Asia-Pacific region, there are significant challenges 
in transporting equipment and personnel to the var-
ious military training ranges within the United 
States Pacific Command area of responsibility. 
(7) The Department of Defense continues a 
number of efforts aimed at preserving military train-
ing ranges, while also minimizing the environmental 
effects of training activities. 
(8) The Department of Defense has a variety of 
authorities that may be used to mitigate encroach-
ment on military testing and training missions. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—In light of the findings 
specified in subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that 
the Secretary of Defense should— 
(1) ensure that members of the Armed Forces 
continue to have reliable access to military training 
ranges; 
(2) optimize the use of multilateral, joint train-
ing facilities overseas in order to increase readiness

and training centers;

authorities, to mitigate encroachment or other chal-
lenges that have the potential to impact future ac-
cess or operations on military training ranges;

ments and increase the use of such training ranges
