Description: This project will support the US Marine Corps (USMC) Mountain Warfare Training Center (MWTC) at Bridgeport, CA. MWTC is under USFS management and USFS permits the use of 46,000 acres of Toiyabe National Forest for Marine Corps training, under certain agreements. The project will assure concurrence with these agreements with the US Forest Service (USFS) including the Special-Use Authorization (SUA) and Annual Operating Plan (AOP). These land use agreements provide critical training space and missionscape (Soldier or Marine habitat) for the USMC and greatly augment the size of the training footprint otherwise contained to MWTC. The project will also support the annual review and periodic revision of the base Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan (INRMP). Furthermore, this project will support compliance with the Sikes Act, State of California Management of Fish and Wildlife on Military Lands (Cal. Fish &amp; G. Code &#167;&#167; 3450&#8211;3453), Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 4715.03 (Natural Resources Conservation Program), and OPNAVINST 5090.1D (Environmental Readiness Program).
