reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA268312 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Southwestern Arizona is being considered as a possible basing area for the Small Intercontinental Ballistic Missile ICBM under several different alternatives. Yuma Proving Ground and Luke Air Force Range are Candidate Deployment Installations for the Hard Mobile Launcher in Random Movement basing mode, with support functions to be provided at either Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field or Yuma Proving Ground. Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field and Yuma Proving Ground are also under consideration as separate alternatives for basing of missiles in the Hard Silo in Patterned Array mode. If Yuma Proving Ground is selected as a support base for the Hard Silo alternative, some silos may actually be located in a small adjoining portion of southeastern California. The discussions that follow provide an overview of the regional environmental issue areas that are under consideration for southwestern Arizona using, as an example, the case where Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field would serve as the support base.
