The Navy is proud of its successful programs and partnerships for managing natural and cultural resources.
The Fallon Range Training Complex covers a vast area of land and airspace within the jurisdiction of multiple federal and state agencies. The Federal Aviation Administration manages the airspace, and the Bureau of Land Management manages most of the land underlying this airspace. Other major land owners and management agencies include the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Native American tribes.
The Navy partners with agencies and tribes to proactively identify potential impacts from training activities and takes steps to minimize those impacts on the environment.
