Description
Summary:The Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex (JPARC) is built on a firm foundation of extensive training, decades of testing, and range infrastructure currently in existence. The JPARC consists of all land, air, and sea training areas used by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the military services in Alaska. The Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Alaska National Guard utilize the JPARC to conduct training and testing and to support joint mission exercise programs. The JPARC was originally established to support Cold War-era weapons and training concepts associated with both World Wars I and II. Alaskan Command is currently involved in the National Environmental Policy Act process to propose modernizations and enhancement initiatives through the congressionally funded JPARC Environmental Impact Statement in an effort to bring this strategically important resource closer to its full potential. Future Joint Forces and coalition partnerships will enjoy increased capacity and attain higher readiness and training levels by executing Joint Mission Essential Tasks in any of the JPARC multiple training environments. The JPARC gives DoD maximum flexibility for future training investments. Strategy Research Project.
