Provide quality installation support and services to our customers. Plan and execute mobilization and deployment support operations. Plan and execute transformation of the installation in support of Stryker Brigade Combat Team 3. Maintain and improve infrastructure and training areas; proper stewardship of all resources; sustain strong community relations; and provide for Well-Being of the Army Family into the 21st Century. The estimated cost to remedy the deficiencies in all existing permanent and send-permanent facilities at this installation is $435,358, based on the Installation Status Report Information on conditions as of October 2003. 10.Description of Proposed Construction Construct a Sniper Field Fire (SFF) range to be a standardized M21/M24 range for day and night time sniper training, as well as advanced rifle marksmanship training for selected personnel. The range will include a general instruction building, an enclosed mess, a bleacher enclosure, and an ammunition breakdown facility. This is to be a fully automated range. Supporting facilities include construction/upgrade of a range access road, site clearing and grading, and the construction of electrical and information systems infrastructure. 4 FP ADOT: NONE SUBSTD: NONE 11. REO: PROJECT: Construct a standard Sniper Field Fire range with advanced capabilities. This range will be overlaid on top of an existing multi-purpose machine gun range. (New Mission) REQUIREMENT: The US Army Alaska (USARAK) Range and Training Land Program Development Plan, March 1999, has identified the Sniper Field Fire Range as a shortfall. This facility is needed to train snipers. Training is currently being conducted on ranges that do not support all sniper training requirements, such as stalking and concealment. Fort Richardson provides training facilities for the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment and supporting 1 DEC 76 1391 DD FORK PREVIOUS EDITIONS MAY BE USED INTERNALLY PAGE NO. 13 units, which would benefit from this construction. National Guard, Reserve units, State and Federal law enforcement agencies, and other DoD services will also use this facility. CURRENT SITUATION: USARAK does not currently have an Army standard automated range facility to support sniper field fire training or advanced rifle marksmanship training. Sniper and advanced marksmanship training is currently being supported through the use of machine gun and other ranges. | IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: If this project is not provided, snipers assigned to USARAK will continue to train on sub-standard facilities. Necessary training objectives to fully support their critical combat roles will not be met. Additionally, without this facility, advanced marksmanship training objectives will not be supported at Fort Richardson. ADDITIONAL: This project has been coordinated with the installation physical security plan, and no physical security measures are required. All required antiterrorism/force protection measures are included. Alternative methods of reeting this requirement have been explored during project development. This project is the only feasible option to meet the requirement. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations and Housing) certifies that this project has been considered for joint use potential. The facility will be available for use by other components. A parametric cost estimate based upon project engineering design was used to develop this budget estimate. Sustainable principles will be integrated into the design, development, and construction of the project in accordance with Executive Order 13123 and other applicable laws and Executive Orders.
