Table 26.--Costs and Rentals of Military Real Property Controlled in Defense use within Continental United States, the Air Force controlled 60.5 percent. Much of this land is used for missile ranges and advanced fighter bomber training. Table 27 provides additional detail on categories of lands held by the Air Force. Land at inactive installations constituted only 1.4 percent of the total Air Force-controlled lands within Continental United States as compared to 5.0 percent one year ago. The State pattern of military real property controlled by the Air Force is shown in Table 28. Some degree of concentration is suggested by the fact that the cost of the properties controlled in the five States of California, Texas, Florida, New York and Ohio constituted 38.7 percent of the Air Force's United States total. The Air Force had more than $300 million invested in each of these States. The acreage of land controlled in four states, each with over one million acres - Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah - comprised 75.0 percent of the total Air Force-controlled acreage in this country. Nearly 92 percent of the Air Force controlled acreage in these four States was land from the public domain. On the basis of cost, Table 29 presents the ten largest categories of Air Force-controlled real property. The comparisons are shown in Chart 6. The total cost of these ten major categories represented 69.2 percent of the Air Force total cost within this country. Airfield pavements accounted for 17.5 percent of the total Air Force investment within Continental United States. Maintenance facilities was the second largest category followed closely by troop housing. Table 27.--Acreage of Military Real Property Controlled in |
