Global Approaches to Environmental Management on Military Training Ranges

Thisbook provides an insight into the global practices for environmental managementof military live-fire training ranges by combining scientific research withpractical solutions to ensure continued training capability. The text isdivided into four parts: the first provides the background information necessary tounderstand the scientific principles behind environmental management. Thesecond part comprises methodologies for the environmental risk assessment ofexplosives and munitions, and the third collates case studies and innovativemanagement techniques that have been applied to reduce remediation costs. Finally, part four considers the design of greener or insensitive munitions toreduce environmental impact. This is an essential reference guide for thosewith a responsibility for environmental management of military training ranges,and who are required to ensure sustainable long-term training capability.
