Fort Wainwright, Alaska (Including the Yukon Command Training Site and the Fairbanks Permafrost Station) Terrain Analysis
In stating the requirement for terrain analyses of selected installations, FORSCOM indicated that the purpose of the program is to assist military planners in future stationing decisions. To achieve this purpose, planners must obtain an appreciation of the on-post terrain that includes among many ot...
